About this product
Getting a wholesome, home-cooked meal on the table doesn't have to mean juggling multiple pots and pans. The Russell Hobbs 3 Tier Food Steamer makes healthy cooking brilliantly simple, with its generous capacity spread across three stackable tiers that let you steam vegetables, fish and rice all at the same time. The clever turbo ring gets steam flowing in less than a minute, so you're not hanging around waiting for things to get going, whilst the timer takes the guesswork out of cooking times.
This steamer is packed with thoughtful touches that make life easier. The external water fill means you can top up the water reservoir without dismantling everything mid-cook, keeping your meal on track without interruption. It comes with a handy rice basket for perfect fluffy grains, and the automatic switch-off feature gives you peace of mind if you're pottering about doing other things. With a manufacturer's guarantee, it's a reliable kitchen companion for anyone wanting quick, fuss-free healthy meals without sacrificing flavour or nutrition.

Goos steamer with enough capacity for the family.
i bought this to replace exactly the same model, which got broken. The steamer easily cooks enough vegetables for the family. Cooking carrots causes discolouration of the baskets - an issue with many steamers. The weak point deems to be the timer control knob, which will eventually break if you turn it backwards.

Works well
Bought this as a replacement. Works well. Only comment not in its favour is it’s white rather than a darker colour or black because the natural colour dye from fresh carrots has left a ring around the top level of the base unit which cannot be removed.

Does exactly what it says on the tin
Does exactly what it says on the tin. Good capacity. Ability to refill while it's going is a nice touch.

Great piece of kit that tidies away easily
Its a great item, really big containers but really easy to store. Heats up so quickly and you can add extra water whilst it's on.

3. Steam for 20 minutes
4. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely.
5. Pour out the descaling solution.

Hello Kqllu,
Russell Hobbs 3 Tier Plastic Food Steamer 21140.
It is not recommended to use the Russell Hobbs 3 Tier Plastic Food Steamer without the steam guide. The steam guide is designed to ensure even steam distribution and prevent the steam from escaping too quickly. Using the steamer without the steam guide may result in less effective cooking and potentially unsafe conditions. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and use the steam guide for optimal performance and safety.
Thank you.

Hi Fran,
Russell Hobbs 3 Tier Plastic Food Steamer 21140
Having checked I can see you are able to poach an egg with this. You would just need a ramekin or small dish to place inside with the egg in.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Jane.
Russell Hobbs 3 Tier Plastic Food Steamer 21140:
Where possible our manufactures have removed polycarbonate (PC) plastic from their manufacturing sites. All manufacturing sites still producing PC products that come in to contact with food are required to demonstrate that they’re in full compliance with regulatory food contact requirements. This is supported with test certificates from specialised independent laboratories who test every plastic component that comes into contact with food to ensure that any BPA trace is below the legally accepted level before products are placed on the market. A product will not be sold until we hold test reports that demonstrate full compliance.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Bazza,
The supplier has advised the following for the Russell Hobbs 3 Tier Plastic Food Steamer 21140:
Yes, pasta can be cooked in it, however it will take very long time.
Eggs can be cooked in the food steamer.
Red meat can also be cooked, as there is nothing preventing you from doing that, but beef would probably yield poor results.
The manual advises on cooking times and recommended meat types for cooking and can be viewed in the "View document (PDF)" towards the bottom of the about this product section.
Thank you for using Q&A.
