Black & Decker HS1000 Handy Steamer with Flavor Scenter Screen Reviews

They last about 7 years of heavy usage. Unfortunately, I tried my new one with a new design. How do I get water into the little spout, it's really tough. I asked my wife and she said, no big deal, then proceeded to spill water all over the place and had to mop the water up. Why go backward in a design? And the the water tray was empty before I did a minimum amount of rice. That's never happened before on my older model, even for double the amount of rice. Do I have to stand and watch it now? I have to work and watching a steamer steam is not cost effective and boring. The instructions say I can add more rice to the cup, but it doesn't tell me the time. The timing is different than my old one so do I have to guess the time? I never use the flavor scent so I toss it immediately. I can't on the new one since the basket won't fit if removed. There were two nice finger holds under the older version to easily lift the...

Recently bought a conventional fuzzy logic rice cooker; the cooker is fantastic, but the non-stick coated inner pot is now a turn-off after my recent education about its evils. So, this food steamer was my next investment.Wow is an understatement! There is no escaping the no brainer rice perfection. You fill the bottom compartment with water all the way to Max, place your rice container (with rice plus suggested water measurement) and then turn the thing on. It takes 60 mins to cook 2 cups of dried rice to result in 4 to 6 cups of cooked rice (depending on the variety you use). Brown rice takes 75 mins. The timer switch is an old-fashioned dial, but does its job and turns off faithfully at the end. After that is all Rice Heaven. Basmati, sushi, brown, wild, - name it, turns out as it should. The amazing thing is, the cooking is even from top to bottom. No...

Today, I took it out and unfolded the cord only to have the cord insulation on both wires crack open revealing the copper wire underneath! Had I not noticed the problem an electric short or shock could have occurred! The steamer got light to moderate use from me and was carefully stored in a kitchen drawer. The cord has been stored the same way it came from the box - accordion folded with the twist tie to secure it. The electric cord has not showed any signs of drying out or wear. The only thing remarkable about the cord has been it's unusual stiffness, which I assumed was due to a thicker grade of stranded copper wire. Now I must assume the cord insulation is substandard. I have never had this problem with a cord before. For safety's sake, I suggest people should store the cord wrapped around the steamer and to straighten out the kinks in the cord. It would be advisable to... Read more |
