This item has worked very well for our needs make ramen and cooking eggs. Yes we have to order one every 1 year as it is used so much but $ a year to cook all the stuff we need makes it worth i

We have had this unit for exactly 1 year now and we are more than pleased. Not a single issue although we need to replace 2 of our baskets as they are starting to get openings. And that is why I came here as I am looking for replacement baskets. We are a very busy restaurant and these baskets get a great deal of use.

Honestly too small and takes too long. Found it easier to just put a pot on the griddle and boil the water and prep. Also the cleanup it a bit of a hassle compared to the output.

Pasta steamer freed up cooking staff so waitress can actually finish pasta late and sauce it. Has been huge help in our kitchen. The baskets are the only issue we have. It allows for past to get stuck in the actual basket.

We've purchased these numerous times and have to replace them every few months.

I can`t believe that something that is sold as a pasta cooker, equal to boiling water and salt, it actually rusted after 2 month of very light use; to the point of becoming a leaking mess, yes the rust perforated the so called stainless steel and make it impossible to use it.

When it is working, it is nice but like other reviews have said, the item rusts and we have to replace every few months.
