Orka Personal Silicone Steamer Review

I few months ago I started using the Ziploc Zip and Steam bags. They worked great to quickly steam veggies, but I hated how you just throw them away after a use. (I even re-used the bags sometimes, but you could only do once or twice before they were too dirty or warped). I stumbled upon this product and am so glad I did. It's a permanent version of the zip'n'steam bags. It seems even more powerful though. So far I've done frozen asparagus and 2 minutes wasn't quite enough, but three was a little much. I would do 2 and a half for frozen asparagus next time. Same with frozen green beans. So far, I've only done frozen veggies as that's what I've had on hand, and while it works well, you get a pool of water in the product. No big deal, I just pour that away.

I think it will work even better with fresh veggies, I imagine with those there is no pool of water.

As for another review saying the red item didn't look as pretty as in the pic....It's a steamer that you use in a microwave, not a piece of decor. It looks like what you'd expect it to lock like...red rubbery thing. It's functional, not gorgeous. I love that its dishwasher safe!!!

It is a bit smaller than I expected, though I though I will just purchase a larger one and then have options. This oval red one makes 1-2 servings of veggies. Half a bag of frozen veggies max. Good for a single person, not so good for families or couples who eat big portions of veggies (and if you're trying to lose weight, you want to eat big portions of steamed veggies and less of your other items, so you'll be better off with the larger size.)

The chart that comes with it with cooking times and recipes is very cool and helpful, but has a limited list of veggies, so you'll have to do some guesstimating. I realize this chart is more of a perk, so I won't fault the product for not listing all veggies. In the future, the company might want to expand that chart.
