We have used the Oster and Black N Decker steamers and both of them work
fine. On occasion we have had to return a steamer because it did not
reach temperature so maybe you just got a bad steamer. We have also
found that the steamers with a dial are easier to monitor temperature
than the digital ones.

Hi All,

I'm attempting to use a rice steamer for HIER, but am not able to get
the temperature of the retrieval solution above 85 degrees C.  I was not
able to find locally the Black and Decker HS2000 that has been
recommended in literature.  I can't believe that is the only unit that
will work.  Is there something I'm missing here.  I'm no Wolfgang Puck,
but come on it's a rice steamer!

Thanks in advance,
Fred
