Kitchen appliances come in all shapes and sizes, from the boxy and square to the rounded and organic. Though they are all made to attract the eye of the consumer, sometimes form is dictated by function. When it comes to food steamers, there is a reason for their vertical orientation. However, just because heat rises doesn't mean they have to stop at one level. In fact, taking advantage of the nature of steam allows them to reach for the sky.

The Ewave 3-Tier Digital Food Steamer (model number EWFSSD3) is a towering kitchen appliance that maximizes usable space. As water is heated in the base of the unit, the resulting steam rises up, cooking each level simultaneously. For efficiency on the smaller end of the scale, not all three trays must be used at one time. Need just one serving of broccoli? Go for it.

With seven settings and a 60-minute timer, the 800-watt steamer offers a convenient way to steam a variety of foods. Cooking with steam is an easy way to eat healthy, and having an easy-to-use appliance at the ready just makes it easier. All of the parts (excluding the control panel base) are dishwasher-safe, ensuring that with a minimum of effort you will be able to take healthy eating to a new level.
