I found that the Jobar steamer does a great job in steaming vegetables. I used it right away and made some great broccoli and carrots, vegetables were steamed and crisp and full of flavor.
I find that the size is good for large and small microwaves. Likewise, I loved that you can unstack it to a smaller size for storage.

The instructions said I wculd wash the steamer in the dishwasher. I put the steamer in the cup rack at the top of the dishwasher, away from the heating coils. Sadly, the base melted. Its shape no longer matches the upper baskets. So, it goes back to Amazon for a refund.Best Deals for Handy Gourmet 2 Tier Microwave Steamer
I PURCHASED THIS STEAMER FROM A LOCAL DISCOUNT STORE AND WAS SO HAPPY I BUMPED INTO IT! IT STEAMS PERFECTLY! I HAVE STEAMED CRAB LEGS, VEGETABLES, AND SHRIMP! GET IT, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!Honest reviews on Handy Gourmet 2 Tier Microwave Steamer
I ordered this for steaming vegetables etc. for typical usage.I am quite disappointed with this product. The quality of plastic is very cheap and extremely flimsy. The overall look is also poor.
I've used it only three times and have noticed that the base, which holds the water, is actually now misshaped. Therefore, the steamer trays don't fit in there. So, I have to spend several minutes to set the steamer up, with many spills etc. since nothing fits with the base!!!
To me, this is the quality and performance you see in products you buy from a Dollar store. So, this thing is bad and quite a waste of money. Any minute, I expect this steamer to break or even melt in the microwave! So, I have several questions about the steamer now. Why did it get misshaped? Does it mean that it can't stand these high temperatures?
You'd probably be better off buying a good baby bottle steam sterilizer and using that for steaming vegetables etc.!! It's exactly the same product and function, just uses the steam differently! And most are certified BPA free.

After reading the positive reviews I bought this. I've only used it twice but several negatives are now apparent compared to simply using a pan with 1/2 inch of water on the bottom:a lot more work to wash & dry (4 large parts) vs. 1 small pan & lid
you can't taste test the food during cooking like with a pan. With the steamer you have to remove it from the microwave to taste (more work than it sounds like), and then the steam/boiling has died down by the time you restart it.
included list of cooking times is far from complete so there would clearly be lots of trial & error involved. For example the first time I used it I cooked cauliflower on one level & carrots on another. The carrots of course cooked much faster, but since there's no easy way to reach in & taste you won't check this steamer more than maybe once. With two levels full it's even more trouble to taste test and you loose even more steam/heat so it will take even longer to restart again.
The only positives to me are:
-no water to drain off of cooked food
-ability to cook two different veggies at once (but different cooking times do present a major problem.
