M-Cuisine Microwave 4-Piece Stackable Cooking Set, 2 litre cooking pot, steamer, griddle and lid, Orange/Beige

For years I have been using a stackable stainless-steel steamer pot on an electric hob. Where I live the hob was fitted in 1982, hence it takes ages to bring the water to the boil sufficiently enough to steam my potatoes, carrots and other veg so needles to say an awful lot of electricity over the years has unnecessarily been used.Then one day recently whilst looking for a new potato peeler I came across this incredible microwave universal four piece stackable cooking set, so decided to invest in one especially as its a Joseph-Joseph design. Unlike a lot of things that tend to look good but don't function as well when you try them out, this cooking set really is the bees-knees! It has taken a lot of trial and error to achieve the same cooking perfection as before but hopefully I have finally cracked it, as my problem is I have a 'Nine Hundred Watt Microwave Combi-Oven' and the Joseph-Joseph cooking instructions only give times etc; for an 'Eight Hundred Watt Microwave'.However, that said I have given it a resounding Five Stars because I truly believe something so easy to use, keep clean by running under a tap and cool touch handles, that in the end is going to save me pounds on my Electricity Bill certainly deserves them!

Joseph create stylish producs that also work well. Highly recommended steam for use in the microwave

Bought this for my son to use at uni. Very pleased, easy to use and clean, no need to worry about getting it PAT tested for halls because you use it in the microwave. Much less bulky to store than an electric steamer. Excellent purchase for a student in halls. Delivery was on time and efficient and price was great. Very happy with this purchase.

Great design, has a grill pan for a microwave grill and two ways of cooking your vegetables. The steamer is quite bulky and would not fit in a small microwave. It fits in the average one, worth checking the height before you buy. The actual steaming tray is not suitable for bulky veg such as spinach but that does go into the bottom and can be cooked easily in a traditional fashion (ie in water) with the lid on. It is dishwasher safe and that is good as cooking veg such as cauliflower does make it smell unless washed in the dishwasher. I did not give it 5 stars because of the size of the steaming tray but in all other ways it is another great bit of Joseph Joseph design.

I don’t like this steamer my vegetables either come out to mushy or as hard as nails

This set is more versatile and easier to use than the cheaper sets I've had before.It feels solid and the handles make it easier to take it out of the microwave.Although it's pricey, for me it's worth the extra.

This fits nicely in my microwave - but it is a 35l one.I mainly use it to steam fish and vegetables. It is more convenient than using my cooker.The plastic is very strong but I do reduce my microwaves power as it says for 900w max and mine is 1000w.The only thing I don't use it for is for bacon. I tried it and it was surprisingly crispy. The issue I had was the fat splatter. It was just too messy. (Cooked on 800w). I still recommend it though I just don't want the extra cleaning afterwards as my microwave is brand new!Lastly the 2l capacity of the main bowl is more than enough. I have a family and cooked potato's in it no problem.
