OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Steamer with Extendable Handle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This item does not hold well when you pop it up to stand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The steamer is well constructed and features a very compact design. It will fit easily it to many size pots. The handle is retractable so that a pot cover can be placed over it for steaming then when done the handle can be pulled up with a fork so that you don’t have to touch the hot cooking surface.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in a small space with three children so I am very focused on efficiency in the kitchen. I have been living without a steamer basket and wasn’t sure it would be worth the cabinet space. This is smaller than I expected and I am able to stow it away neatly in a cabinet. I like that it is dishwasher safe and includes a fork slot for safe removal from the pot. So far I have just steamed vegetables over some water but plan to try it in my Instant Pot soon as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This steamer has some really nice upgraded features from the traditional steamer that I grew up with in my Nana’s kitchen. The plastic handle stays relatively cool during boiling so I was able to use my bare hands to pick it up out of the water, but the slots for a fork is a nice touch. The retractable feet on the bottle of the basket is nice, but it can be easily used without. This is a nice kitchen tool for making quick and easy babyfood at home.

This review is for OXO GOOD GRIPs steamer with extendable handle-1067247. This is an innovative product from my perspective as the primary cook in our family. I have made occasional use of it for several weeks and appreciate its handy features. This steamer is compact when folded for storage with height at 3 inches and diameter of 6-7/8 inches. It is useable for cooking pots of 8-inch or larger diameter. The legs, when folded down, extend the steamer base about 1-3/4 inches above the cooking pot bottom. With the legs down and the telescoping handle and diameter extended fully, it is about 6 inches high and 10-1/2 inches in diameter. For steaming large items, the telescoping handle is easily removed. A particularly handy feature is the fork slot in the handle that can be used to keep hands away from steam while lifting the steamer from the cooking pot. Except for the heat resistant plastic handle, this steamer is of stainless steel. This product cleans up easily after use. This is a very welcome addition to our cooking utensil collection. It fulfills the quality expectations we have become accustomed to for OXO products that we have used in our kitchen for decades.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been looking for a vegetable steamer for a few months now and received this one a couple of days ago. I love it! It fits perfectly into my 8″ round pot and I can raise it about 2 inches from the bottom of the pot by pulling out the ‘feet’, or I can lower it by folding in the ‘feet’. The handle is such a helpful piece, and I love that it’s also removable in case I have a fuller pot of items to steam. The handle also can be extended longer or shorter – kind of a useful feature depending on what you’re steaming and what size pot you’re using. The steamer is really intuitive and easy to use, which is a huge plus for me. It also has a nice feel to it, like it’s high quality. It’s also super easy to clean and it stores nice and compact. I love my steamer!

My wife says that the Good Grips steamer is the best steamer she has had. The fold out legs and are at a perfect height to put in a lot of water if necessary but still keep the item being steamed away from the actual liquid. The steamer adapts easily to both large and medium size pots and the portion of the handle you normally grab to remove it from the pot does not get hot and in addition it extends to a perfect height for safe removal well away from hot items being steamed. The handle pushes down so that it doesn’t interfere with the lid in shorter pots. It is easy to store as the legs and sides fold up into a compact size. It is well built out of a good quality stainless and looking at the construction, it should last for many years.

steamer plates gets into my instapot very easily. well designed. It doesnot occupy too much space when I put it back to shelf.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good product with some flaws. The elevated feet require a taller pot than I normally use to steam vegetables. The extending, removable handle is a good concept in theory, but has a drawback in that it is rather large and makes removing food after steaming a challenge. You could remove the handle and solve this problem, but at that point in the cooking process, the handle is hot. The hole in the handle allowing fork use to remove from the pot is a plus, though. The removable handle would allow for the steaming of larger food items than my previous steamer. It is apparently made of superior materials and seems to be quite high quality. All-in-all, a good product with the exception of the flaws noted.

This is the best steamer I have owned. The legs are very nice as they are rounded stands rather than the usual pegs and they fold down. The handle extends a couple inches and has a very nice grip so no more burned fingers or having to use a fork to pick it up. Both of these features make storage much more convenient and easier to use in different size pots/pans. It is well made with no sharp edges and it drains very well. Good product!
