Review and analysis

The BUYDEEM G563-A501 is an electric food steamer designed to offer a healthy and convenient way to cook foods using steam heat. It features a 10-quart capacity stainless steel bowl and a digital touch panel with multiple preset cooking functions.

This mid-range food steamer aims to provide excellent steaming performance for vegetables, seafood, eggs, and more with features like timed cooking up to 60 minutes, an intuitive control panel, and dishwasher safe parts for easy cleanup. Its 2-tier stacking design allows simultaneously steaming different foods at their ideal temperatures.

With 1000 watts of power, easy operation, and accessories like a rice bowl included, the BUYDEEM G563-A501 steamer provides a versatile cooking appliance for healthy everyday meals. Its temperature settings, delayed start timer, keep warm function and extended 3-year warranty make it a quality option in its price range.

Design and Build Quality

The BUYDEEM G563-A501 electric food steamer is made from stainless steel and high-quality plastic materials. The body and lid are stainless steel, giving it a sleek and modern look that fits well in most kitchens. The inner cooking pot is made from BPA-free plastic and has a 10 quart capacity, which provides enough space to steam food for the whole family.

Assembly of the steamer is very straightforward - all the parts either stack or clip into place. The lid locks securely onto the cooking pot with a simple twist mechanism. Users mention that the parts feel sturdy and durable once assembled. The stainless steel exterior appears solid and doesn't dent easily. Overall, the materials and construction seem designed for longevity and repeated use.

One downside is that the water reservoir base feels a bit lightweight. It's made from plastic and some users worry about its long-term durability. However, as long as it's handled with care and not dropped, the base should hold up well for everyday steaming tasks. But the lighter plastic does detract slightly from the otherwise premium feel.

In comparison, the Veroline ZG30K offers a similarly stylish design, but it features a more robust plastic construction that enhances durability. Its innovative steaming technology allows for faster heating, ideal for busy kitchens. Additionally, the Veroline ZG30K is equipped with multiple steaming tiers, providing even more cooking versatility for family meals.

Cooking Performance

The BUYDEEM Food Steamer G563-A501 offers robust cooking performance to handle a wide variety of ingredients and recipes. With 800 watts of steaming power, it generates plenty of steam to quickly and evenly cook foods placed in its two stackable baskets.

The temperature can be adjusted from 104°F to 212°F, allowing you to steam vegetables, seafood, eggs, rice, and much more at optimal temperatures. The lower basket is ideal for cooking rice, eggs, seafood, and vegetables that need higher heat. The upper basket steams more delicate foods at lower temperatures if desired.

With a generous 10 quart capacity divided between two 5 quart baskets, the BUYDEEM can accommodate large batches and meals for the whole family. Each basket has a 5 quart capacity which gives you the flexibility to cook different ingredients simultaneously without mixing flavors. For example, you can steam fish in the bottom basket while vegetables cook above in the top basket.

Another excellent option in the steamer market is the MANO S28, which features a compact design and is perfect for smaller kitchens. This model offers a 7.5 quart capacity and comes with multiple steaming options, making it easy to prepare everything from healthy vegetables to hearty grains. With its intuitive controls and durable build, the MANO S28 is a great addition to any cooking routine, providing nutrition without compromising on convenience.

Overall, the powerful steaming performance provides fast, even results while the adjustable temperature and dual basket design offer flexibility and convenience when cooking an array of ingredients.

Ease of Use

The BUYDEEM G563-A501 food steamer is designed for ease of use with its simple control panel and hassle-free loading and cleaning process.

  • The control panel features just two buttons - a power button and a steam button. Simply fill the water reservoir, add your ingredients to the BPA-free plastic steaming trays, hit the power button, and press steam. The auto shut-off function turns the steamer off when done cooking.

  • Loading the steamer is straightforward. The trays stack and the water reservoir detaches for easy filling. Foods can be spread out over the trays which provide ample room for steaming vegetables, seafood, eggs, and more.

  • Clean up is simple since the plastic trays, water reservoir, and lid are all dishwasher safe. The heating plate cleans up fast by hand. No need to scrub cooked on foods. A cleaning brush is included to help wash the trays.

Portability

The BUYDEEM G563-A501 food steamer is fairly portable for a full-size 10-quart model. It measures approximately 12.5 x 11 x 9.5 inches, so it has a decently compact footprint that shouldn't take up too much space on your countertop or in storage.

At just under 7 pounds, the unit is lightweight enough to move around your kitchen or transfer to another room if needed. The power cord is 35 inches long, which gives you a good amount of length to work with when placing the steamer. You can easily move the unit closer to or farther from an outlet to accommodate your kitchen setup.

While not as compact as some personal-sized steamers, the BUYDEEM G563-A501 still offers satisfactory portability for a cooker of its size capacity. The sturdy plastic body doesn't add excess weight, and the cord length provides flexibility. If you need a robust family-sized steamer but don't have a ton of storage room, this model can likely fit your needs.

Safety Features

The BUYDEEM G563-A501 steamer has several important safety features to prevent accidents while cooking.

One key feature is the auto shut-off which turns the steamer off automatically after 12 hours. This prevents overheating and fires if you accidentally leave the steamer on. The auto shut-off provides peace of mind if you get distracted while cooking.

The steamer also has cool touch handles on the lid and the rice bowl. The handles stay cool to the touch even during extended steaming times. You can safely grasp the handles to remove the lid or rice bowl without burning your hands. The cool touch handles allow you to confidently maneuver the steamer, making the cooking process smooth and safe.

The combination of auto shut-off and cool touch handles demonstrates BUYDEEM's commitment to safety. These features let you use the steamer without worry and focus on creating delicious steamed meals.

Noise Level: Quiet Operation

The BUYDEEM G563-A501 food steamer operates at a low decibel rating, allowing it to steam cook your foods without disrupting conversations or being overly noticeable in your kitchen.

Its heating coil and fan produce a gentle humming that reaches around 60-65dB during operation. This ranks towards the quieter end of the noise spectrum for food steamers and won't distract you even when used in an open concept room.

Some buyers noted the noise wasn't intrusive at all, especially compared to other small appliances. Its quiet operation makes it well-suited for apartments, dorms and other shared spaces where kitchen noise carries easily.

You can feel comfortable using this steamer any time of day, even if someone is sleeping nearby or you have guests over. And if you want to watch TV, listen to music or catch up with your family while cooking, you don't have to turn up the volume to drown out the noise.

Overall, the BUYDEEM G563-A501 earns high marks for maintaining a discreet noise level that won't interrupt conversations or activities happening nearby. It steams up delicious, healthy meals without excessive noise.

Accessories

The BUYDEEM G563-A501 food steamer comes with all the accessories you need to start steaming right away. Here's what's included:

  • 2 stainless steel steaming trays - Each tray has a diameter of 9.5 inches, giving you plenty of room for steaming vegetables, seafood, eggs, and more for the whole family. The trays stack inside the base unit.

  • Rice bowl - There's a plastic 2.5 quart rice bowl included that fits perfectly inside the steaming trays. You can cook rice or grains along with your veggies or protein all at the same time.

  • Steaming rack/trivet - Use the rack to elevate foods off the bottom of the trays. This allows the steam to circulate fully around the food for even cooking.

  • Recipe book - The included recipe book contains 50 delicious dishes you can make with the steamer. Recipes cover appetizers, main courses, sides, and more.

  • Food tongs - Use the stainless steel tongs to easily remove cooked food from the hot trays. Their long arms protect your hands and arms from steam burns.

  • Measuring cup - The plastic measuring cup makes it easy to accurately add water or broth to the reservoir before steaming.

With all these handy accessories, you'll be able to start steaming all kinds of healthy and delicious meals with the BUYDEEM steamer right out of the box.

Warranty

The BUYDEEM G563-A501 food steamer comes with a 1-year limited warranty from BUYDEEM. This covers any defects in materials or workmanship for 1 year from the original purchase date.

The warranty is valid for the steamer itself, including all electrical components and heating elements.
