The new and improved steam release vent ensures your microwave stays free from food splatters, while the convenient easy-lift tabs make it simple to transport from microwave to bench. This product is stackable and safe to use in the dishwasher (on the top rack), the microwave (without the lid), or in the fridge and freezer. Review: Game changer for me - This is a great product. Being able to steam things in the microwave has been a game changer for me. I steam potatoes all the time. The capacity is good—I have steamed four Yukon Gold potatoes at once, and it can probably hold almost twice that amount. It’s quicker and easier than steaming food in a pot on the stove and is easier to clean. It works great except it can be a little tricky to snap it shut. The trick is to push down on the red flap as you snap it closed. It feels reasonably well made (it is plastic) and I hope it is durable. I’m concerned about the locking flaps breaking off eventually but I’ve been using it for a few weeks now with no problems. Even so, I think it would work fine without the locking flaps. I’m very pleased with my purchase. Review: HUGE help in the kitchen for my family!!! - I got the Systema Microwave Steamer a few months ago and I absolutely love it! It has a good capacity for me and would likely have a great capacity for most people/families (I'm vegan so I eat a ton of veggies). I use it nearly every day at least twice and it cooks like a dream! The only time it's ever not large enough for me is when I'm doing food prep for a few days, other than that it's a perfect size. As for the reviews that say they can't get the lid to snap down on the sides, whenever I have an issue where I can't get it to snap I just spin it a 1/4 turn and it will snap. I have never had it not snap at all. I think that the steamer is not perfectly square (even though it looks square) and the lid just needs to be turned when you can't get it to snap. ***This may not work for everyone, as your steamer may need you to figure out exactly which lid side matches up to which base side or yours just may not fit right at all. I am only basing this on my experience with my steamer and I hope it helps others.*** I also recommend being careful with the steamer when you remove it from the microwave because the steamer itself will be hot and the steam will be hot either from the steam release on the lid or from removal of the the lid. Use hot pads, oven mitts, or a towel of some kind and stay safe. I say this merely because a lot of people don't have experience with steaming food and may not be aware of how hot steam can be, especially if they don't cook a lot or have been in the kitchen helping someone else cook. If you are in the market for a steamer, this is a very good choice and, if you choose to buy it, I hope you will be as happy with it as I am :) ## Features - Removable Steamer basket - the middle stalk stays cool to enable food to be lifted out when cooked - Steam release vent in lid with easy lift tabs and distinctive Sistema KLIP IT easy locking clips - Dishwasher (top rack), microwave, fridge and freezer safe - Designed and made in New Zealand.

It's a workhorse. Steaming is the best way to cook vegetables, to prepare vegetables for stirfry or crudites, and to reheat frozen vegetables. Microwave steaming is easier to control than stovetop, is energy efficient, and doesn't heat up the kitchen. In fact with many vegetables, you don't even need to add water when microwaving--they self-steam, preserving all their vegetably goodness. The Sistema steamer is sturdy and about as large as it could be to fit in microwave ovens and be easily stored. I use it multiple times every week. It's reasonably priced. You should get it! However, I'll also admit to two frustrations. First, don't expect the snaps to work as easily as in the video. Yes, it is possible to lock all four down, but it takes some maneuvering and pushing since at least one isn't quite aligned. This was true even when the steamer was new. Luckily, one misaligned snap doesn't affect steaming. Second, the steamer basket-insert has a big prong right in the middle of it--something that's not obvious in any of the images. Like the metal steamers meant for steaming in pots--maybe it is meant to make it easier to remove the steamer basket? But who does that? It's easy enough just to lever up the basket and lift it out. Or for more vegetables, just to dump them out into a strainer. Anyhow, the central prong means that you can't steam anything big and flat (a piece of fish, for example) or anything on a plate. Major design flaw! Eventually, I cut off the prong. Which was hard, since the steamer is STURDY (see above). And it left a hole that corn and peas can fall through. Sistema, you have a great product--correct this design flaw! ## Frequently Bought Together - Sistema Microwave Steamer for Cooking Food and Vegetables with Steam Release Vent - Sistema Microwave Rice Cooker and Steamer Bowl for Vegetables with Steam Release Vent, Dishwasher Safe, Red - Sistema Microwave Egg Cooker and Poacher with Steam Release Vent --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1668991-sistema-heat-and-eat-microwaveable-food-steamer-with-removable-steamer](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1668991-sistema-heat-and-eat-microwaveable-food-steamer-with-removable-steamer) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
