I love my Orka for quickly steaming "person-sized" portions of vegetables. Just a few tablespoons of water and 30-45 seconds on high gives me a generous cup of tender-crisp veggies very quickly. It also nicely steams a single ear of corn. I've had mine for about two years and it is one of the most consistently-used items in my kitchen. That's a lot coming from someone who is a bit of a kitchen equipment snob. (The second most-used item in the kitchen is a Le Crueset Dutch Oven.)

This product is hardly what I consider a STEAMER. It is a rubber casserole dish and a rubber lid. There is nothing to even suspend the food above the pooled liquid.

Have several Okra products. Love them all!! This definetly a single serving steamer. But works great for broccoli, brussel sprouts, etc. Steams w/out water or oil, but still moist and good!

I was very disapointed in this purchase...not only was the color all wrong (it is shown as BRIGHT lime green and it was a very dull, ugly army green) But it is too small for anything!! I will be lucky to get 4 or 5 asparagus in there....

I few months ago I started using the Ziploc Zip and Steam bags. They worked great to quickly steam veggies, but I hated how you just throw them away after a use. (I even re-used the bags sometimes, but you could only do once or twice before they were too dirty or warped). I stumbled upon this product and am so glad I did. It's a permanent version of the zip'n'steam bags. It seems even more powerful though. So far I've done frozen asparagus and 2 minutes wasn't quite enough, but three was a little much. I would do 2 and a half for frozen asparagus next time. Same with frozen green beans. So far, I've only done frozen veggies as that's what I've had on hand, and while it works well, you get a pool of water in the product. No big deal, I just pour that away.
I think it will work even better with fresh veggies, I imagine with those there is no pool of water.
As for another review saying the red item didn't look as pretty as in the pic....It's a steamer that you use in a microwave, not a piece of decor. It looks like what you'd expect it to lock like...red rubbery thing. It's functional, not gorgeous. I love that its dishwasher safe!!!
It is a bit smaller than I expected, though I though I will just purchase a larger one and then have options. This oval red one makes 1-2 servings of veggies. Half a bag of frozen veggies max. Good for a single person, not so good for families or couples who eat big portions of veggies (and if you're trying to lose weight, you want to eat big portions of steamed veggies and less of your other items, so you'll be better off with the larger size.)
The chart that comes with it with cooking times and recipes is very cool and helpful, but has a limited list of veggies, so you'll have to do some guesstimating. I realize this chart is more of a perk, so I won't fault the product for not listing all veggies. In the future, the company might want to expand that chart.
