Does anyone have this yet? I just received it today and can't wait to try it out, looks awesome. Has anyone used it and any opinions on it?
 
I haven't used it yet - but it is very nice - I am just concerned those little black feet might fall off and get lost after a while - hope they will be on the replacement order form!
 
Used it last week for broccoli--I loved it! I used to have a steamer like this but it was all metal so I couldn't use it in my Exec Cookware. SO GLAD PC finally came out with one!
 
I used mine for broccoli the other night. LOVE it!!
 
Not yet but I'm so excited to try it.
 
Looks like we are all using it for Broccoli. It worked beautifully. Like Deb, I used to have one, but couldn't use it w/ my non-stick, so I'm thrilled that PC developed one!

Next week when I get groceries, I am going to get the ingredients to make those steamed wontons.


DS uses it daily as a Space Ship!:D

I just love how small it folds up for storage and then you can use it in so many sizes of pans... very versatile! My Dad and Mom have been argueing about a new steamer, Dad wants to go and buy one and mom wants a PC one, so I have to go over and demo it for Dad to convince him, he doesn't think that it is going to be big enough... there's only 2 of them, I don't know how much bigger he thinks that he needs! Anyway, I don't think he get's how it works and spreads out so much. I'm thinking that you can get a lot in there, like I said, I haven't tried it yet but can't wait to play, when I get over this flu so eating sounds good! thanks for all of the opinions! I appreciate it!
 
Used it to make the steamed wontons. Very easy to use, easy to clean. Like it. Wontons were yummy too! I didn't make the sauce, I used the ginger wasabi :)
