dwyerkim says "use it all the time" about Pampered Chef Small Micro-Cooker

The pampered chef micro-cookers are awesome! I have all 3 of them and use them all the time, but probably use the small one the most. It is great for heating up canned soup or other convenience foods. Two to three minutes in the microwave and a can of soup is heated through. Having dedicated microwave cookware means you're not constantly hunting for the right size dish, or heating food up on a plate you intend to eat off of--which can lead to a very hot dish to handle and a spattered microwave to clean up. The pampered chef microcookers are also dishwasher safe and easy to clean. I have had mine for at least a couple of years and they have held up fine. The large one is good for steaming vegetables, and the rice cooker does a good job with rice but I personally found it took a little trial and error to get the timing and the liquid quantity down. The small microcooker is great, I dont' know what I'd do with out it!

DizzyKiz says "Can't live without this little beauty" about Pampered Chef Small Micro-Cooker

The Pampered Chef Micro Cooker is simply amazing. I purchased my first micro cooker about 8 years ago as my first purchase from Pampered Chef. As soon as I got this little cooker home and put it to use, I was hooked, how did I ever live without it?

The Micro cooker is very versatile and is able to cook so many different kinds of foods. I typically use it for heating canned soup, steaming fresh/frozen/canned vegetables, cooking a batch of oatmeal, or re-heating dinner leftovers.

I love the easy attach lid that comes with the cooker. It keeps your food from splattering, perfect for melting butter, warming red sauce, etc. I also appreciate that the lid is ventilated and can double as a strainer.

I own the small micro cooker as well as the large and love them both. I am so deveoted to them that I also have purchased them for my mother, mother-in-law, sisters, and many a wedding shower. The recipients have all expressed to me how much they love and use their cookers.

kimnme says "Most used item in my kitchen!" about Pampered Chef Small Micro-Cooker

kimnme — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:23:00 GMT

This is by far the most used product in my home. I use it to steam my fresh and frozen veggies and fruits every night. I have also used it to make homemade hot chocolate. It is so simple to use that I frequently assign my daughter the veggies for dinner. Simply put in your ingredients, add a little water and microwave. When done, use the built in strainer to drain out the water, twist off that top and you have veggies for dinner. I discovered that it can be used to make the best and simplist cinnamon apples. Because it is used in the microwave it cuts down on kitchen heating, which during the hot summer months is great! Would recommend this product to any friend.

kcp2273 says "Pampered Chef Small Micro-Cooker Pot; LOVE It!!!" about Pampered Chef Small Micro-Cooker

kcp2273 — Wed, 13 May 2009 16:02:06 GMT

I love the small micro-cooker from Pampered Chef because I use it for everything; it is very versatile and extremely useful.

It's great for warming milk for hot chocolate, water for tea, melting butter and chocolate, heating cans of soup or vegetables, making rice, boiling hot dogs, boiling potatoes, which is faster than baking them, and just as good. It also makes it much easier to peel the skins off if you need to use the potatoes for a salad or other dish like mashed potatoes. Boiling frozen or fresh vegetables. You can do just about anything with this pot that you can do on a stove, but with less mess, less time, and a smaller, lid-covered container.

Not only does the lid prevent splatters, but it is also handy for draining the liquids off the food as it has bigger strainer holes on one side, and smaller on the other, so you always have options to suit your needs. Also, the pot with attaching lid is very convenient for storing in the fridge, reheating, and using it to...

cammie1 says "The Pampered Chef Small Micro-Cooker exceeded my expectations." about Pampered Chef Small Micro-Cooker

cammie1 — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 02:56:15 GMT

I purchased the Pampered Chef Small Micro-Cooker from a co-worker having a Pampered Chef Party mainly for the price. After all, it was only a gesture of being cordial. To my surprise, the Pampered Chef Small Micro-Cooker exceeded my expectations. With my lifestyle changes of becoming more healthy, it truly has become a valuable part of my kitchen/cooking routine. I found myself not only steaming vegatables with it in the microwave with a little bit of water in the bottom but, I also found myself using it for alot of prep work. For example, Sunday we like to have brunch. A mainstay at brunch is Homefries with onions and garlic. It is so much easier and healthier to slice up my potatoes and onions, put them into the Pampered Chef Micro-Cooker with a little bit of water and pop it into the microwave. That one little step cuts down on not only time but calories. The contents then is transfered to a pan for browning with olive oil. It is also very easy to clean. Nothing...

PigsinZen says "Perfect size for one person portions " about Pampered Chef Small Micro-Cooker

PigsinZen — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 19:05:56 GMT

I too was invited to a party and felt I had to purchase something, glad I did.

I bought this pot many years ago and it is still used all the time in my kitchen. Before I got married I was doing weight watchers and this allowed me to make the perfect size portions of veggies and rice. It is so easy to use and dishwasher safe, which to me makes all the difference in the world. Also love that the pot does not get hot! Since this pot worked out so well and I now have one more to cook for, my husband I purchased the larger one. We eat stir fry quite often and I can make 2 servings of rice in about 7 minutes, so much easier than cooking it on the stove. If you are health conscious or on a diet this is definitely the product for you. Frozen veggies go from the freezer to the microwave and are ready in no time. Just top with Mrs. Dash and side dish is done.

OrangeCat says "This is great for cooking vegetables." about Pampered Chef Small Micro-Cooker

OrangeCat — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 01:22:09 GMT

I have found that my Pampered Chef Small-Micro cooker is very handy for cooking vegetables. This a small saucepan made of plastic, so good for the microwave but not the stove. It had a lid that attaches which has holes in it for draining. This way, you can steam vegetables to perfection in the micriwave and drain the excess water out by simply holding the pan over the sink and flipping it over. It was under ten dollars and is easy to clean. I find that i do not use it as often as I expected, though, because there are so many frozen, microwave-ready vegetables on the market.

I have had the small Pampered Chef micro cooker for a few years now. I love it! I use it as often as I can. It is wonderful for warming up corn, with the small holes on top for draining, and also great for things like chili that would stain other types of bowls. This pot is so easy to clean, it wipes right off, no problems! You can also just grab it out, with no worries about pot holders or dish towels, because it doesn't get hot to the touch!!There is also a bigger size, and that is next on my list to get! I am not sure how much these micro cookers are up to in price now, but they are totally worth it!

hgronski — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:34:08 GMT

This is the way to go if you ar looking for a quick and easy way to cook your produce. I really like using the micro steam. It is quick, easy and keeps the nutrients in the veggies by steaming them. I love using it. My 3 year old daughter thinks it's great being able to help mommy in the kitchen. We use it to cook all of our veggies to keep them healthier than they are by cooking them on the stove top. Our veggies seem to cook even faster in the Micro cookware. I have the small and large Micro cooker and I love using both. ...
