Customer Reviews for OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Steamer with Extendable Handle

Works well but in medium or large pots only. Handle too tall for small pot but easy to use

The item was excellent and very useful, I highly recommend to everyone! I will rate A to Z five stars

We are satisfied with this steamer.

This stores flat which I like. The legs fold under and the handy handle slides down. My last one was used up and I am very happy with my new one.

Great item with so many uses!

steamer plates gets into my instapot very easily. well designed. It doesnot occupy too much space when I put it back to shelf.

Haven't used it yet but I know if it is OXO it should work very well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great product. Simple to use. Great quality. We steam fish and vegetables here at the house and need something that is versatile, fits in numerous pots and easy to clean.

Another WIN by OXO! I have found that all of the OXO products are so well thought out and practical for their application. This steamer does not disappoint. It fits neatly into my pots and with just a little bit of water I have beautifully steamed broccoli (and other veggies too!). The clean up is also straightforward and easy. The handle easily lifts the entire steamer out with easy and stores neatly in the cabinet for the next use. Thanks OXO!

AWESOME little space saver for steaming vegetables and hotdogsTry it you'll like it

It works like it's supposed to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This item does not hold well when you pop it up to stand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wanting a steamer basket for a while now since I’ve been just rigging a large bottomed pot with foil to steam things. I was happy to receive OXO’s steamer and I’m in love with the handle and how easy it is to lift it out of the pot. Smart product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a compact product and easy to store. It was a bit stiff upon first using it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved using this. Everything steamed to perfection. Had to move veggies around a bit. The only issue washandle seemed a bit lose. Still I would highly recommend this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This steamer is awesome! It's a great size and it's able to fit in many different sized pots. The detachable handle is great as it allowed me to take it off to put the lid on my pot. I am also really impressed with how small it becomes when it's time to store it. I'm looking forward to using this tool a lot as I incorporate more veggies into my diet in a healthy way.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been a while since I had a new steamer and I like several of updated features. My favorite is the handle designed to lift with a fork. This helps keep the steam from your hands. I also like that you can use it with a pressure cooker but I am not sure if the black handle can be used in the pressure cooker or just the metal. It would be nice to have this information on the box.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a person who eats tons of vegetables, I’ve tried many steamer inserts on the market. OXO Good Grips Steamer with Extendable Handle is wonderful!! The company spent a great deal of time paying attention to details. Small details, like multiple adjustable parts, make a big impact on the steamer. Raised foldable legs on the bottom of the steamer are sturdy and help keep vegetables, fish, etc. out of the boiling water while steaming. Another great feature on the OXO Good Grips Steamer with Extendable Handle is the handle its self. With a flexible handle, the steamer and handle fit in the pot together effortlessly while accommodating different pot lid heights. I found the extendable handle easy to grip while inserting and removing my vegetables from the pot. The built-in fork insert keeps one safe while taking the steamer out of the hot water; this feature is easy to use. Overall, I would recommend OXO Good Grips Steamer with Extendable Handle. Fresh and frozen food steams quickly and evenly with the insert, plus it’s easy to clean. What more can you ask for? Give the product a try!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The steamer is well constructed and features a very compact design. It will fit easily it to many size pots. The handle is retractable so that a pot cover can be placed over it for steaming then when done the handle can be pulled up with a fork so that you don't have to touch the hot cooking surface.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been looking for a vegetable steamer for a few months now and received this one a couple of days ago. I love it! It fits perfectly into my 8" round pot and I can raise it about 2 inches from the bottom of the pot by pulling out the 'feet', or I can lower it by folding in the 'feet'. The handle is such a helpful piece, and I love that it's also removable in case I have a fuller pot of items to steam. The handle also can be extended longer or shorter - kind of a useful feature depending on what you're steaming and what size pot you're using. The steamer is really intuitive and easy to use, which is a huge plus for me. It also has a nice feel to it, like it's high quality. It's also super easy to clean and it stores nice and compact. I love my steamer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This steamer is very well made and practical--it can be used for many different kinds of things and is easy to clean. We used it for vegetables and it works great. The handle is excellent; the only thing that would make me like it better is if the open and close of the handle synced up with the open and close of the steamer petals. But that's just a personal preference. You will not be disappointed with this steamer. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good product with some flaws. The elevated feet require a taller pot than I normally use to steam vegetables. The extending, removable handle is a good concept in theory, but has a drawback in that it is rather large and makes removing food after steaming a challenge. You could remove the handle and solve this problem, but at that point in the cooking process, the handle is hot. The hole in the handle allowing fork use to remove from the pot is a plus, though. The removable handle would allow for the steaming of larger food items than my previous steamer. It is apparently made of superior materials and seems to be quite high quality. All-in-all, a good product with the exception of the flaws noted.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing product! I am so happy to have this steamer it is perfect for when I steam veggies for my husband and baby. The extendable handle makes it easy to take out of the pot. I would definitely recommend this product! It is much better than the last steamer I had that broke after one month.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd never used a steamer basket before, but this OXO steamer is simple, has great features (liftable with a fork, extendable handle, folding legs) and is well constructed. I hand-washed it, which was simple, but it could easily go into the dishwasher as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this steamer a couple of days ago and tried it out on some fresh green beans and they turned out amazing! I love that the feet on the bottom can fold up for easy storage! The handle is telescopic so it adjust to any height! I know we will use this steamer on an almost daily basis! Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in a small space with three children so I am very focused on efficiency in the kitchen. I have been living without a steamer basket and wasn't sure it would be worth the cabinet space. This is smaller than I expected and I am able to stow it away neatly in a cabinet. I like that it is dishwasher safe and includes a fork slot for safe removal from the pot. So far I have just steamed vegetables over some water but plan to try it in my Instant Pot soon as well.

Excellent design and quality -- long, foldable feet; easily removable/re-installable handle; generous diameter; solid construction. We steam vegetables, but we also make steamed dim sum, and other varieties of foods using it. This is an improvement over our old bamboo steamer. Just brush with a LIGHT coating of oil to prevent sticking, and the food comes out great! This has made steaming easy in our kitchen. Here’s a tip: To avoid burns when removing the steamer from a boiling pot, sure to lift the handle with a fork (as the instructions say), not your fingers.

Once again, OXO makes another quality user friendly kitchen gadget. This stainless steel steamer is the perfect size for family food steaming in your home. It fits pots 8 inches or greater in diameter. It has 1 3/4 inch feet on the bottom to elevate the steamer above the water, and they fold flat for storage. It also has a removeable handle incase you are steaming large items. The telescoping handle extends and locks into position for filling and transporting, and it also retracts to accommodate pot lids while steaming. And a nice idea to make a hole in the handle to stick your fork in for transport (to keep your hands away from the steam). It is also dishwasher safe.

This is the best steamer I have owned. The legs are very nice as they are rounded stands rather than the usual pegs and they fold down. The handle extends a couple inches and has a very nice grip so no more burned fingers or having to use a fork to pick it up. Both of these features make storage much more convenient and easier to use in different size pots/pans. It is well made with no sharp edges and it drains very well. Good product!
