What Makes It Uncommon

Made Slow, Cooks Fast

Karen and Stephen Steininger's stoneware steamer brings traditional beauty to efficient microwave meal prep. Cook fresh or frozen vegetables, reheat leftovers, and steam sliced potatoes in minutes, without added fat (though it's also a fast, scorchless way to melt butter). The closed top speeds cooking by recirculating heat, while ventilation holes keep veggies crisp by letting excess steam escape. Each piece has a gorgeous, deep blue glaze, so it looks wonderful on your counter, ready for you to cook. Designed in Iowa. Made in Thailand.

Beautifully finished steamer

Very impressed with the finish details on this item. THe glossy finish is smooth and clearly well done. Used it a couple times already with good success and it is DISH WASHER SAFE!!!


Perfect

The quality is beautiful. Could sit on the counter permanently (between uses) if you wanted. I thought it might be a little small, but turned out to be the perfect size for a double portion of veggies. My husband even thought they came out perfectly (which rarely happens).


ought it was hand made

Item works great but I thought it was hand made. The package even included a card with the photos of the artists, which I felt strongly suggested that they had made it. However, looking further it's very clearly marked as made overseas and mass produced, and the artists were merely the designers. I feel that it's over-priced and the description and packaging are misleading. I will pay more for a product to support small business and artisans, but this product is not hand made


It's pretty but lid design isn't great

I asked for this for Christmas as a replacement for a lidded plastic steamer I use a lot for cooking frozen vegetables. This one is ceramic and pretty. But when I drain the vegetables, a lot get caught in the lid's rim, like peas and frozen vegetable sized cut up carrots etc. They are hard to remove. The small handles can be hard to hold when draining also.

Response from merchant

Thank you for sharing your experience with the ceramic steamer. I’m glad to hear you found it visually appealing, but I’m sorry to learn that the design hasn’t been as functional as you had hoped. We understand how frustrating it can be when vegetables get caught in the lid's rim or when the handles make it challenging to drain. Your feedback is valuable and will help us better understand how customers are using the product and how it can be improved. We truly appreciate your input and your continued trust in us to provide unique and useful products. Thank you for being part of the Uncommon Goods community.

For us ...

This was a Christmas present "for us." Every Christmas, we purchase items that improve our life together. Since, i do most of the cooking - and because my wife prefers steamed vegetables, this was a natural choice. The steamer is both beautiful and functional. We not only use it often, we like the way that it works1


A gift

I cannot give anaccurate review because this was a gift to a long distance friend


Perfect for the Vegetable Enthusiasts

The veggie steamer was a gift for my Dad who has eaten microwave steamed vegetables every day for the past thirty years. He has always been conscious about not using plastic in the microwave, so this stoneware crock is perfect for him and anyone who is body, and environmental conscious while preferring to use beautiful things.


Great Christmas Gift

What an excellent way to start the new year after the Christmas holidays. It is healthy to choose, easy to use, and a delicious way to cook.


Convenient and attractive

The steamer works as I'd hoped and makes it more convenient to steam veggies in the microwave. The handles on the sides don't get hot, making it easier to pick the pot up after steaming, and the holes in the top can be used to easily drain any excess water out too.

Can it be used in the oven?

Verified reply from Allison

This stoneware is microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe.


Does the stoneware veggie steamer get hot in the microwave?

Verified reply from Leighton

Absolutely! Please be careful when removing this steamer from the microwave and when opening the lid - keep those oven mitts handy!


can this be also used to make an omelet or and egg. I wasn't this to be a multipurpose item. Thank you

Verified reply from Leighton

The microwave steamer is a very versatile tool! We've heard that coating the inside with a bit of oil helps the eggs come out easy (or over easy, if you like). Egg cooking times and temperatures may vary, but feel free to experiment and whip up something delicious!

Is this lead free and cadmium free?
