I recommend to buy a model: simple and intuitive management. Water needs to be poured below the specified mark, otherwise it will spill out when boiling. Under the cabinets put a double boiler do not recommend. Steam goes upstairs and can damage kitchen furniture. |

The bowls of a double boiler, of course, require careful treatment so as not to split the plastic. I really like cutlets and steamed meatballs: they are juicier than in a frying pan. We made the best choice. |

For me, the FS 5100 is the best design. Two tiers, medium-sized bowls, additional containers for all occasions. |

Steamer bought when they became supporters of proper nutrition. Excellent model, practically does not float into the atmosphere. It is better to wash the removable bottom grilles immediately after preparation, then it is very difficult to remove food residues from the cells. |

The main advantage of Tefal VC 1301 is its compact size. When storing this double boiler takes up minimal space. But in the operating mode, it can cook up to 7 liters of food in three containers. There is a special cup for rice (housewives know how problematic this product is for steaming). Baskets are easy to clean, plastic does not contain bisphenol A, is absolutely safe and does not smell. The power is not the highest - 650 W, but for the preparation of most dishes it is enough. Main advantages:

How to choose a good double boiler
Power
This figure can vary from 400 to 2000 watts. It affects the speed and volume of cooking.We do not forget that the lower the power, the slower the preparation goes, which means it will hardly be possible to save seriously.
Number of baskets
When purchasing a double boiler, be sure to pay attention to this parameter. It is desirable that the containers for cooking were independent. The more of them, the more dishes you can cook at the same time. At the same time, the quality of cooking in a 4-container double boiler is lower than, for example, in a two-container one, since such a simple device is simply unable to accurately calculate the different heating zones. Material performance is not important, if it is of high quality. Stainless steel and plastic have both pros and cons.
Steamer which company is better?
Now, most companies have branches in China, where household appliances are manufactured. So in most cases the brand is just a memory of the past glorious times of European high-quality production. Therefore, when purchasing it is better to focus not on the beautiful inscription on the body, but on customer reviews. Have a nice shopping!
