Best Microwave Steamers of 2025

“I absolutely love this little steamer. Living alone, I used to dread pulling out all the pots just to steam some veggies. In 3 minutes, I have steamed veggies ready! The handles stay cool, it takes up less room in the dishwasher, and it encourages me to eat more veggies. I can't think of a single thing that would make this any better. It's perfect!”

“I bought this steamer to prepare single-serve meals, and it worked wonderfully! I steamed sliced zucchini and squash and they tasted great. It's lightweight, easy to clean, and it can steam more than one serving. Just a heads-up—the lid doesn’t click on securely, so I store my veggies separately. Overall, a great product at a fair price!”

“I've had this steamer for over two years, and it's still working perfectly for me. I fill the pot to the bottom of the strainer with water, add my veggies, and microwave them. They come out perfect every time! It's just the right size for cooking for one. My microwave is lower power, so I adjust the cooking times accordingly, but I have no complaints. Very happy with this!”

“I love that the water sits below the vegetables. It makes preparing a healthy side dish simple and effective!”

“This is definitely the best steamer I've owned. I learned the trick for closing it properly, and it has held up beautifully through all my dishwasher cycles.”

“I wanted to try this after hearing about it from a friend. It works wonderfully with my microwave's auto button and is way better than boiling the nutrients out of my veggies.”

"I absolutely love this product! I've ordered a second one because it holds up perfectly in the dishwasher and steams veggies quickly and efficiently. It's a huge time saver for me, as I've been using it almost daily. I can prep veggies in advance and store them in the fridge, making it easy to just add water and microwave when I'm ready to eat. Carrots, mushrooms, and broccoli steam perfectly in just 2-3 minutes!"

"With limited mobility, I've turned to the microwave for cooking, and this steamer is a game changer! It’s just right for 2 servings of vegetables, and I’ve had perfect results every time—whether I’m steaming potatoes or mixed veggies. I just fill the red pot with water to touch the white basket, and I'm good to go. Highly recommended!"

"I was initially skeptical, but I have to say, this steamer works like a charm! The vent hole is just the right size—no explosions in the microwave! It's easy to clean and perfect for a serving or two of steamed veggies. I do hand wash the lid to prevent warping, but everything else has gone through the dishwasher without any issues. I’m very satisfied with my purchase!"

"I absolutely love this steamer! It's great for steaming broccoli and cauliflower. I've realized that using less water means quicker cooking—just 2-3 tablespoons for perfect broccoli in 2 minutes and 45 seconds. I don't bother latching the lid since it doesn't fit well; I simply lay it on top, and it's very easy to clean."

"This is my second purchase of this steamer for our winter home. Its small size is ideal for our tiny kitchen and perfect for steaming veggies for two people, like broccoli."

"I had a good experience with the steamer. The broccoli turned out nice, but I did find that the lid is tricky to close and doesn't align properly. While I noticed a slight plastic taste, I washed it twice before use. I'm still deciding if I'll use it often."

“I ordered another one for my daughter-in-law. It's easy, simple, and fast to use.”

“I have a smaller steamer from the same brand, which I love. This larger steamer is the perfect solution for fitting more veggies. My vegetarian dinners are done in six minutes.”

“I bought this for my husband who needs to eat more fish. It's a quick way to prepare healthy meals, but the lid doesn’t snap on securely after a few uses. Veggies steam quickly and evenly though!”

"I find this microwave steamer perfect for cooking enough servings of vegetables for my family. Its 2-quart size lets me prepare a variety of veggies at once, saving me time and effort. The solid construction gives me confidence that it will withstand regular use, and cleanup is a breeze since it's dishwasher safe. The innovative design creates a steam environment that cooks the veggies evenly, resulting in tender-crisp textures that taste great. It's a simple and quick process that fits perfectly into my busy weeknights."

"As a single guy who enjoys cooking, I wasn't expecting much from this steamer. However, I've found it to be very effective. I can simply put in my veggies with a bit of water and microwave them. There’s no need for a separate rack, which some might see as a downside, but I appreciate how it delivers great results. I've successfully steamed everything from frozen mixed vegetables to broccoli and even made mashed potatoes. The flexibility of timing and water amount makes it easy to use, and I ended up purchasing both sizes!"

"I absolutely love this steamer! I used it for the first time to steam carrots, and they were cooked perfectly. The lid makes it easy to drain any excess water before removing it, which is a great feature. I'm excited to try steaming my other favorite vegetables soon. This steamer is not only easy to use, but also easy to clean, making it a must-have for anyone who enjoys fresh veggies!"

“I bought this to use with my Pampered Chef microwave saucepan. It fits my needs very well, and I use it practically every day. It's easy to use and clean. I'm very happy with my purchase.”

“I purchased this for my son in college. It's perfect for steaming small servings. The lid is secure and easy to drain. If cooking for a family, you might want a larger size.”

“I love how this bowl cooks my large frozen broccoli florets. The surface is shiny with no scratches. The clear plastic top has two different sized vents. I always use the smaller vents to prevent broccoli bits from escaping. My microwave has a frozen food function, and I find Level 3 works best for a full bowl of broccoli. The texture is great, and I’m very happy with this purchase!”

"I discovered this bowl while searching for something to cook oatmeal without it overflowing, and it has exceeded my expectations. It has become my everyday essential for steaming vegetables, making couscous and rice, and even cooking scrambled eggs. Each dish I’ve prepared has been easier and more flavorful than my previous methods. I’m so pleased with this bowl that I’ve ordered a larger one!"

"Finally, I found the solution! This pot has been a time-saver in my kitchen, producing amazing food every time. The recipes on their website are surprisingly good for microwave cooking. Cleaning is a breeze, even after forgetting it overnight in the sink. The beautiful glass design and quality craftsmanship make it worth every penny. I use it daily, sometimes even twice!"

"I am thrilled with this product! The quality is excellent and it looks fantastic. I use it every day for cooking, reheating, and storage, making it incredibly convenient for my busy lifestyle. I highly recommend it. I also bought the medium and small sizes, and they are perfect for one or two servings!"

"I've found this to be the best purchase in a while! I steamed broccoli the night it arrived, and it cooked perfectly. I love that I can remove the lid and pull the dish out by the tabs without using mitts. Cleanup is a breeze, and it collapses for easy storage. Great product!"

"Initially, I wasn't sure about microwave covers, but after seeing my grandma use this, I became a fan! It makes preparing a healthy dinner so easy with less cleanup. In just 3-4 minutes, I have steamed veggies ready. Highly recommend!"

"I’m really pleased with this steamer; it takes up little space since it’s collapsible. More importantly, it steams vegetables beautifully in the microwave. It’s quickly become an essential in my kitchen!"

"I was looking to replace my black plastic kitchenware and found this silicone pot. It worked fine for steaming veggies. Just be careful when moving it from the microwave since it can feel a bit flimsy. If I remember to place a plate underneath, it helps a lot. I’m glad I got it; I was able to steam the same amount of broccoli as before, and I love that it folds up for easy storage!"

"I absolutely love silicone cookware! I ordered the large purple one last year, and it’s become a daily essential for me. Recently, I got the smaller colorful ones for meal prep and portion control. They are perfect for my weight watchers points, holding about 2 cups of cooked grains. The larger pot is great for family meals. They’re sturdy yet foldable for storage and microwavable, although they can't be used on the stovetop or direct heat. I really hope they introduce more colors and styles—these are my favorite Amazon products!"

"When I wanted something lightweight for my RV microwave, I found these silicone containers. They work great for heating small portions, but I learned the hard way not to overfill them, especially when cooking eggs—my first attempt made a mess! Now I just place a mug on top to avoid that. Overall, I like them and might get a larger size!"
