BLACK & DECKER ULTRA-FAST PRE-PROGRAMMED STEAMER Model HS1300C

I got this baby a few days ago and I used it once so far... I love it.

the unit comes with 3 baskets and a rice bowl,
I only used tha baslets so far.

I had potatoes wedges in the bottom basket, carrots and kolrabi in the middle one and coliflower and leek in the top one.

the veggies turnt out good
the only thing I should have donne was either put the kolrabi down with the potatoes or cut them up a bit smaller.

I had them in for 35 minutes and the taste is amazing compared to boiling the veggies in water

the best part is, if you have leftovers you can fry them in butter the next day and the veggies don't fall appart, they keep the firmness and shape..

I know my spelling is bad and prop. my review to, but this little gadget is cool I love it.

I had intentions on getting a build in unit in my new kitchen, but since the build ins are so expensive I wanted to make sure I like the veggies this way... and I do

I bought this one at Walmart for $54.96

I saw the title and thought to myself "I wonder.." and I have the exact one. I was given it as a gift for Christmas last year and have not used it once. I am too lazy to learn how it works. LOL

AmberLab way did you just used it only once? I used mine again tonight


I really like this product

I meant I have not used it at all. It is still brand new out of the box sitting in my cupboard for the past year.

OH I missread the post *LOL*
it's not hard, get some veggies unwrap your box, wash it. put water in ...
put veggies in the baskests
plug it in,press menu (3 time I think) until you see UG that's the preset setting for the veggie (10 minutes) pess the + till you have 30 or 40 minutes ( I guess it depends on the size of the veggies)
press start (power).
that's it
