I purchased and used this recently for the first time, and I really like the product. It does an excellent job at steaming small to medium size ears of corn. It does it by really locking in the steam tightly. No water needed and the corn isn't watery, as it sometimes can be when cooked in a kettle on the stove.
I didn't have large ears of corn, so I didn't have a problem with that, though I can see where that might be an issue. A slightly larger version of this would be good and take care of that problem.
No instructions were given on the packaging as to cooking time, but I found in my microwave that six minutes was right. Since microwaves vary, you have to experiment there. This could be used to cook/reheat other things, too. I really like the results I got and recommend the product.

Great item for the summer corn season, and so easy to use. One ear takes about 4-5 minutes, two take about 7-10 minutes. You put 1/4 cup of water in each chamber, and it steams perfectly.The lid does NOT snap on, as some expect, but fits on the top of the chamber. The corn will be hot, and perfectly cooked. Kind of fun to have this at the office toovery handy.
Of course, you could steam anything in this, but it is designed for corn. As for size, it has worked well so far. If one were to have extra large ears of corn, I think it would still work, though you might adjust the cooking time up a bit. Best for medium-large ears, I think.
Perfect for singles, college age, and seniors who wants to fool with a pot, boiling water, salt, draining and clean-up, when THIS is an option?
One of the best.

This is a great product and I have two and will be ordering more for envious friends. Boiling water to cook that fresh corn on the cob is time consuming and water wasteful and this corn steamer is so easy. Add the fresh corn on the cob a little water steam in the microware for a couple of minutes and there you have it. EASY, FAST and GOOD can't get any better than that.Honest reviews on Progressive International Microwavable Quick Cobs Corn Steamer
It works very well steaming most, but not all, ears of corn in the microwave. I have tried it on both fresh and frozen ears. It is dishwasher safe which is nice.My only complaint is the size. If you have a fat ear of corn you cannot close the lid all the way. Because there is a gap between the lid and the bottom, all of the steam escapes. You are not really steaming the corn, but just microwave cooking it. As such, you might as well just cook the ear a flat plate or bowl. I'd guess that about a third of the ears I have used in this have been too big. It holds long ears, but not ones that are fat (diameter). If they just made this about a half inch deeper and wider, it would be perfect.

Occasionally you will get corn that won't fit in here because it is too large, but this unit is very handy and does a very good job of steaming corn.
