To use it, simply add a little water to the bottom of the bowl, place the partition inside and add your food (with seasoning for a boost of flavor). To determine the best options, we asked our Allrecipes Allstars for their recommendations based on their hands-on experience as well as what they look for in food steamers, including durability and ease of use and storage.

Rice cookers are designed to consistently produce fluffy rice with very little intervention, except a good rinse of the rice before you start. Although rice is a great side dish or the primary dish for some, it needs a specific process to make it perfect. Using a microwave rice cooker is completely safe because you will use an appropriate amount of water for perfect steam. With tightly woven, dome shaped lid, the steamer cooks food quickly and evenly at the ideal temperature.Microwave rice cookers are by far the best as extensions to modern microwaves you may have in your home. Take your pick from this diverse selection, where you'll find everything from rice steamers for cooking perfect rice every time, to microwave omelette makers and bamboo steamers. This traditional bamboo steamer is great for cooking chicken, beef, pork, dumplings, fish, and much more. You can quickly cook potatoes in the microwave, making it an easy way to get potatoes on the dinner table for busy weeknights. Where available, we used the 'keep-warm' function to assess whether this was detrimental to the finished rice in any way.

If the veggies are crisp and difficult to pierce, pop them back in your microwave and steam them in 30-second intervals until they’re fork-tender. Most impressive of all were the cooking times – the Gastroback Design Rice Cooker is a very quick machine. For example, you can cook salmon filets with herbs and lemon juice and steam broccoli florets with olive oil and garlic powder for a quick dinner.Material, capacity, lid design and shape are factors to consider when choosing the right steamer to add to your kitchen.
