what are all those bowls and things in the pic? Do I get all of them with this steamer or is it some kind of trick?

The structure of the steamer is like a double boiler steamer that you use on the stove-top. You get four parts to your unit: 1) The bottom "pan" is where you put just an INCH of water. The idea is to get this small amount of water boiling. I start with hot tap water to get things rolling faster. 2) The insert "pan" (just a bit smaller than the water holding pan) has holes through the bottom so the steam can get through to do the cooking. 3) There is an insert "shelf" for the pan with the holes, so that you can put two layers of veggies in--say potatoes in the bottom and something that needs less heat or cooking time on the shelf. One thing that I do all the time is put veggies in the bottom and poach a salmon fillet on the shelf. 4) The fourth piece is the lid. All in all, this is a great item. I eat steamed veggies from it all the time and they cook in less than half the time that a steamer on the stove does. Cut up potatoes or broccoli cooks in 4-6 minutes. Frozen peas are ready in a minute (the water has to get boiling to make steam!) Of course time increases with the amount of stuff you load in! Mine are single servings. If you are cooking for a family, just do it in a stove-top steamer! PS: Cleans with a quick rinse under the tap. Just the thing for a busy single person like me!

It does say in the manual (last page I think) that you have to purchase a separate steamer bowl to steal veggies.Page 12 "1. To steam veggies or fish, place 2 to 4 cups of water in VitaClay, then place veggies inside a steam tray or bowl; press "Slow cooking" key, followed by pressing "minute" key for 30 minutes, continue pressing "Hour" key until "0" hour, press "Start/Cancel" key to start steam.

Will send you a photo of the interior of the tier tomorrow. The bottom is totally perforated with holes a bit smaller than a dime. We also have steamers with one tier with small holes throughout like a sieve and the other tier is with larger holes a bit smaller than a dime. Thank you. Ms. Tane Chan THE WOK SHOP

I links is about one stick of butter plus a quarter---I am a little confused as to what this dishes supposed to do------- my understanding is that you put some water in the dish below and set the actual butter dish on top----I just haven't figured out what the difference is between a regular dish and this one----my question to you is ask them what's so special about this dish

I have been scouring the internet for an answer to this very same question. The only idea that I have comeup with is - number 1 - take them to the cleaners and have them steam them, or in the alternative, buy a steamer and do it yourself. Let me know if you got any other answers. I went on youtube for a video also and did not find anything to help. Miele does nothing to help. embry7808@yahoo.com

Hi :) I bought this specifically to steam 1-2 person servings of veggies and it's fantastic. Yeah, you could totally warm-up or make soup in the bottom pot, and not use the top/steaming basket at all. I'm not sure if it's non-stick surface so maybe be careful with creamy soups that could burn, stick, and turn into a super mess & headache to clean afterwards. Maybe broth based soups? Just keep in mind this puppy is only 1 quart so it's pretty tiny. If you're making soup for 1 person it's probably perfect but you've got limited space. Last thing, be careful the handles get super hot. Use with care and don't burn yourself! I hope this helps a little with your purchase InvisibleCloak -Best, Katherina

the base is a hard plastic.....the bowl is aluminum, I think...(some light metal) ...the steam is generated there. you don't get close enough to really see it......

yes, you get a mixing bowl, beater, whip and dough hook. I also purchased a second bowl that comes in very handy.

All the attachments are in the kit. And everything for ravioli is included as well. I did font it helpful to buy a pasta hanger to hang the freshly made spaghetti. But you can also spead it out on parchment paper if you make a lot.

Sorry it took a while to answer but everything was in German so I had to make conversions which are approximate. The set includes the following: 6 quart pot with lid 4 quart skillet with lid 3 quart pot with lid which also is a double boiler bottom. So there is a double boiler top and a steamer top for the 3 quart pot. 1 quart pan with a single handle with lid 1 quart pan with double handle This set of pots and pans is very heavy(7 layer construction) and I am very pleased with my set. I hope this helps Mrs Yoder. There where two or three miscellaneous items also included

I purchased the steamer for hot dogs mostly. The book states vegetables also and I would think they would be great also. It's just a little large to just do vegetables for me.

The manual I got with mine did not mention steaming rice. But there were other foods on there like meats, potatoes etc

I think I see where he's coming from - this would allow steaming different foods simultaneously and add to the available space for foods. I'm pretty new at this steaming but I've not herd of any such slotted piece. Chek with a metal worker to fabricate one.
