Russell Hobbs Food Steamer 9L White – 21140
Hot ‘n’ steamy – try the healthy way to cook food
Most food favourites benefit from the steam treatment – it’s a healthier way to cook without adding oils or fat. Meat and fish keeps its flavour and succulence because the steaming process infuses the food, sealing in its natural juiciness and nutritional values.
The Russell Hobbs Food Steamer has stacked baskets with a total capacity of 9 litres so you can steam different foods simultaneously without having to juggle pots and pans on your cooker hob. It saves on washing up too!
The turbo steam ring design creates a plume of steam in less than 40 seconds and, because steaming is faster and uses less energy than a conventional oven, you can whip up a meal faster without running up your fuel bill.
If you haven’t tried steaming, why not give it a go and look forward to a rainbow selection of fresh healthy foods that are full of flavour and natural goodness
Features
Using your russell hobbs food steamer is easy
1) Fill the reservoir to the maximum (1.3 litres) with fresh cold water. This will give you up to 60 minutes steaming – more than enough time for most foods yet filling it this way ensures you don’t run out of steam.
2) Although some people like to add stock to the water if cooking rice, seasoning, marinades etc. should be added to the food itself, not to the water.
3) Check that the steam tube is sitting on the floor of the reservoir, and centred on the element.
The basket handles are marked 1, 2, and 3. Fit basket 1 on top of the tray, then put food in the basket. Fit basket 2 on top of basket 1, then put food in basket 2. Fit basket 3 on top of 2 and put food in that one
Fast food, but healthier
Your russell hobbs food steamer has a timer that you can set for the duration required. The light will glow and within about 20 seconds, steam will start to fill the baskets. When the timer returns to 0, a bell will sound, and the steamer will switch off. If you want to stop the steamer early, unplug it. Don’t turn the timer back to 0 – you’ll damage it.
When it’s done everything will be boiling hot so use oven gloves or a cloth to hold the handles and when you lift the lid, angle it to direct the steam away from you.
Empty the reservoir via one of the pouring lips at the sides.
Your russell hobbs food steamer comes complete with a booklet on safe cooking times – these are a guide only and should be extended if 2 or 3 baskets are used, if a particular food is cooked in the second or third basket or if it is layered within a basket. Generally, the further the food is from the element, the longer it’ll take to cook

Brilliant, useful, large and fabulous for a really true family size meals. We don’t eat small so need a steamer that could handle that. After lots of failures , this one worked. It great.

Very good value for the money. I love using the steamer to cook the meals. Its faster, more energy efficient, cleaner and helfier. I like that once the food is inside the steamer you can do something else until the food is ready. This saves time. When is ready the bell let’s you know that is ready. You don’t need to constantly turn the food over in order to cook it properly or to check it regularly to make sure is not overlooked. With the steamer you can burn it. Another good thing is that when is ready, you take it out of the steamer and you can eat right away as it is not too hot as it is when cooking the food in a pan or an oven or grill. Fairly easy yo clean the steamer too.

I’ll be honest, we only usually use the steamer for Christmas Dinner and after last Xmas we threw out our old one. So, this was our replacement purchase all ready for Christmas, and it didn’t dissapoint! Carrots, sprouts and Broccoli had a tier each and tasted sublime.Easy to set up, easy to view the water level and top up, easy to operate and easy to clean! Can’t really ask more from a steamer, although this does also have a rice steamer tray (never used one before, but might well give it a go and some point!) And it all fitted neatly back in the box and on top of the cupboard for another 364 days Actually, as it was so easy to use, I think we might even use it again for some dinners, so we must be impressed!

Gladys Mercilline –
I love this steamer. I used it constantly. Impeccable quality. Steamed to perfection.Don’t hesitate to purchase it.
C S Hall –
Good steamer with 3 stackable baskets. Starts steaming very quickly. Items in top basket take rather longer than those in lower basket. Timer is clockwork but does turn steamer off. No other on/off switch other than that at the wall. Baskets slot in but do not click so can be knocked off.Only annoying feature is that when vegetables are turned out of the basket quite a bit of remaining water also is emptied as draining is not perfect. Cooks well, also use it to boil eggs.Very easy to clean. Very good for the price.

Every one should have one of these, price is right. Vegetables are great in it. To include potatoes Makes them taste so much better. Peel veg put potatoes on the bottom veggies on the upper 2 turn it on 20-25 minutes you have you meal done and the taste is amazing.
