⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Tran - Home Cook & Meal Prepper
"This collapsible silicone steamer basket has been a game-changer in my small apartment kitchen. I bought it in May 2024, and after 7 months of weekly use, it’s still as good as new. It fits perfectly in my 6-quart pot, steams veggies evenly, and collapses flat for storage—saving so much cabinet space. The non-stick surface makes cleanup a breeze, even with sticky rice or dumplings. Plus, it doesn’t scratch my nonstick pots like metal steamers do."Purchase Date: May 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chef Daniel Reyes - Café Owner
"We’ve been using the Advanced Model of this steamer basket in our breakfast café since February 2025, and it’s handled high-volume dumpling and vegetable prep with ease. The reinforced silicone holds up under constant steaming, and the fact that it collapses saves us precious space behind the counter. It’s FDA and ISO 22000 certified, which was a must for our health inspections. Dishwasher-safe and dries quickly—no mold issues even with daily use."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Jessica Lin - Full-Time RVer
"Living in an RV means every inch counts. I got the red version of this steamer basket in November 2024 because of its compact collapsible design. After 6 months on the road, I can say it’s one of the best kitchen tools I’ve brought along. It’s lightweight, doesn’t take up space when folded, and works great for steaming fish and veggies. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars? I wish the handle had a bit more grip when pouring hot water—but that’s a minor gripe."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus Johnson - Procurement Lead, Urban Eats Catering
"After testing several models, we chose the Pro Model of this steamer basket for our catering team in January 2025. Now, 8 months later, we’re using it across 12 event kitchens. The industrial-grade silicone withstands continuous steaming cycles, and NSF certification ensures compliance with our client’s food safety standards. We’ve reduced storage space by nearly 60% compared to our old rigid steamers. Easy to clean, durable, and perfect for allergen-sensitive prep—highly recommend for commercial operations."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Olivia Grant - Plant-Based Cook
"As someone who steams vegetables daily for meal prep, I needed something safe, easy to clean, and space-efficient. I purchased the base model in September 2024, and after 4 months, I’m thoroughly impressed. The silicone is thick and stable—no warping even at high heat—and the perforated walls allow for fast, even steaming. I love that it’s BPA-free and meets FDA and EN71 standards. It even stands up on its own when collapsed, which makes drying easier. Worth every penny."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 4 months

"I have a tiny kitchen and hate clutter. This steamer expands when I need it and disappears when I don’t. Works perfectly with my stock pot. Steamed broccoli in 5 minutes—cleaned in 30 seconds. Love the red color too!"

"Works great for 4-6 servings, but we sometimes need to steam in batches. Would love a 12-quart version! Otherwise, super durable and easy to store. Dishwasher safe is a win."
