When I opened the steamer, I wasn’t sure quite what to expect. This is weighs much lighter than my previous appliance but I cannot fault it. It cooks veggies in just under half an hour and has so much room, it’s fabulous for batch cooking when I freeze meals for when there’s only me eating during the week.It all stores down nicely inside itself and everything is together instead of losing one of the dishes or a lid in the back of a cupboard.I had to top up the water part way through and I love the little drawer on the side, so much easier to pour into than having to dismantle and burn your fingers when it’s full to be able to get more liquid in.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this and cannot wait for Christmas dinner to be done all under one lid and save the ...

Having previously owned a Steamer I was looking forward to seeing how compact this one was. My older Steamer was disposed of as we just didn't have enough room but as you can from the picture it packs down for easy storage.Soft boiled eggs was a must first test, it took less than a minute to set the machine up and 7 mins on the timer to cook a perfect soft boiled egg. Second test was choc chip muffins, apart from my error with the choc chips(they sank to the bottom) the muffins were sooooo moist, cooked 50% of the batch in the oven and you could tell the difference, oven ones were dryer and a lighter brown.Third test was a full meal with hoisin salmon, potatoes, asparagus and carrots. I prefer salmon pan fried but the fish was cooked perfectly in the ... MoreHaving previously owned a Steamer I was looking forward to seeing how compact this one was.

I was really excited to receive the Ultra compact steamer. It is a beautiful neat piece of kit and doesn't look messy left out on the kitchen side. I cooked a piece of salmon, poatoes and broccoli and each were cooked to perfection however maybe this is sold as a steamer for experienced people! There was no instructions only very vague instructions on the box. no guide to say how long ingredients should be cooked for or for how long.For what looks like an expensive piece of equipment, I was left feeling disappointed over the littlest of things, that the lid just sat on the top and didn't seem to fit properly, no instructions.Would I recommend the Tefal Ultracomact steamer, yes, it is worth it - the quickness of the cooking and the quality of the product is ...

Finally, a steamer with soft plastic baskets rather than those awful brittle hard plastic ones. Whenever I've had to throw away a steamer previously, it's only been because of the baskets breaking - what a waste! This is miles better because, as the plastic is more flexible, it's less likely to break when it's dropped or fatigues. It's BPA free too which is reassuring.It works just fine steaming vegetables, looks smart and scrunches down small. Perfect!
This Tefal steamer is nice and compact and looks elegant on our work surface. The timer knob looks robust and built to last. From the moment you turn it on you can hear the steam start to build and it’s not long before everything is cooking perfectly. Unfortunately, after only a couple of uses the baskets became discoloured. It was the carrots that were the culprits, I am sure of it!. In the instruction manual the advice is to use the basket lid up turned to rest the other baskets on while you serve your food. Unfortunately, the lid handle is slightly rounded and not at all stable and therefore will not support the other baskets, unless you want your diner on the floor! It would have been 5 stars if not for this glaringly obvious fault. All it needed was someone to ... MoreThis Tefal steamer is nice and compact and looks elegant on our work surface.

Although this steamer is called compact as the three trays fit neatly inside each other for storage, the steamer holds a large quantity of vegetables. I used 3 packs of baton carrots, 2 heads of broccoli and 2 packs of mini sweetcorn and they all cooked perfectly in the 3 tray steamer. Water is poured into the main unit and can be easily topped up during cooking via a pull out slot on side of unit to pour water into. There is then a cover over the water with slit openings to allow the steam through. This also collects the condensation drips. As the veg in the lower tray was cooked first, I removed this but unfortunately the second tray up does not fit onto the drip tray so I had to transfer the veg from the top tray into the bottom tray to continue cooking. This is ... MoreAlthough this steamer is called compact as the three trays fit neatly inside each other for storage, the steamer holds a large quantity of vegetables.

This is a very minor flaw as the steamer more than makes up for this by the quality of cooking and overall taste. I much prefer my veg steamed in this way than in the microwave. There is also a timer. Highly recommended!
I got my Tefal Ultracompact Steamer VC204865 to test from Home Tester Club. It took me a while to actually use it as I had a lot of meals already pre-preprapared due to disability.So on Christmas Eve I prepared all the veg for Christmas along with the salmon. I put the salmon in the bottom layer on top of the sprouts with some sliced lemon. Middle layer was carrot's and cauliflower. Top layer was green beans and broccoli.I put it all on for 35 minutes. Everything was cooked to perfection. Obviously I cooked to much for 4 peopleSo I have more meals in the freezer. A win for everyone. Merry Christmas
As soon as I unboxed it, I was surprised at how much capacity it has, I would say about three times more than the pots we were using. This is great and allows for a greater cooking consistency across all the vegetables because you can spread them out more. I would have no fear doing a Christmas meal for 10 people and feel confident I would have enough capacity for the veg. Considering how much you can fit into this steamer; it really does reduce to a small size when packed away. It can take plenty of water, so I don’t need to top it up mid-cook, it heats up quickly, and the timer is very handy because I can set a timer for my oven and a timer for my veg, then have a glass of wine and relax. Well worth the money, and you can’t go wrong with Tefal.
Wow this is a game changer. I've never used a food steamer before or had any interest in using one. I was invited to test this out and it arrived just before Christmas. I was hosting for 10 people and didn't know whether to risk using the steamer for the first time or not. I didn't find the instructions very easy to follow as there are just diagrams rather that writing but my mother in law has the same steamer (and loves it too) so she gave me abit of advice. I cooked potatoes, carrots and brussels in it and they came out perfect. Everything cooks within an hour and then I used the water for our gravy. It was delicious! After using this steamer I won't be going back to using pots and pans. It's also really easy to assemble and clean. Overall I'm really happy with it.
First time I’ve used a steamer, and I’m very impressed. Was very easy to put together each compartment stacked up neatly, has a nice sturdy base, looks very stylish, nice high gloss black base with brushed stainless steel. I liked that you can Safely and easily top the water up through a spout at the bottom. The vents at top are in perfect position, so you can lift it up without burning yourself from the steam. There’s a gauge on front indicating how much water is left too. I found the steamer heated up very fast, cooked my vegetables very quickly. Was super easy to clean and stacks away nicely In cupboard. Looking forward too using again and trying some rice.
