About Wolfgang Puck

Austrian-born Wolfgang Puck began his formal training at age 14, inspired by his mother, Maria, a hotel chef. Encouraged by a friend, Wolfgang left Europe in 1973 at the age of 24, having already learned his craft as a classically trained French chef in the master kitchens of three-star French restaurants. After a stint at the restaurant La Tour in Indianapolis, Puck made the move to Los Angeles in 1975, and became both chef and part owner of Ma Maison, which quickly became a magnet for the rich and famous - with Puck as the starring attraction. Fame and acclaim quickly followed with his unique combination of dynamic personality and a culinary brilliance that bridged tradition and invention.

Wolfgang has changed the way North Americans cook and eat by mixing formal French techniques and Asian- and California-influenced esthetics with the highest quality ingredients. Over a span of twenty years, he has founded a virtual empire of dining establishments, including 12 fine dining restaurants, and the newer Wolfgang Puck Bistro, Express and Cafe locations across the United States, into Canada and Japan. He has authored six popular cookbooks, and his weekly syndicated newspaper column, “Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen,” appears in more than 30 newspapers throughout the United States and Canada, with a combined circulation of more than 5.3 million.

Wolfgang Puck Worldwide, Inc. (WPW), a privately held corporation, includes a rapidly growing international franchise of the fast-casual Wolfgang Puck Express restaurants, consumer products, book publishing, television, radio and internet programming, and other licensing and merchandising projects.

Unfortunately I haven't tried this yet, but according to the 5 star ratings, I will be joining them. It's wonderful to have a steamer like this for healthy living. Once I've tried it, I will rate it.

Forget take out, get this steamer!

By VeggieGirl

from Welland, Ontario

I love this steamer, use it at least 4 times a week, it is fast and healthy.... was surprised at how tender chicken is even from frozen, and it steams veggies to perfection. Looking forward to experimenting with some new recipes. Prepared dinner for my Mom the other night and she too commented on how good the quality of the food was, so guess who's getting a steamer for a Christmas present. It is large, but great for the single person or family, definately worth a buy in my opinion :)

great concept, fine-tune execution

By MG

from Toronto

Bronze Reviewer

the unit is too tall for under my cupboards or counter and the timer is unforgiving - you can't stop it other than unplugging it, and once it has started you can't adjust the time to go less...so if you make a mistake by turning the dial to steam for too much time you have a problem...you have to take the product out and let it steam with nothing. it does work very quickly and does a good job.

One of the best things I ever bought.

By Leslie

from Brampton, Ontario

Silver Reviewer

Everyone tells you how good it is to cook in and that is true, but one of the best ways to use it is to heat up leftovers. When you use the steamer instead of a microwave the food comes out the same as when it was first cooked. You would think that you had just cooked the veggies, potatoes and meat. I also like to use it for family gatherings. No need to clutter the stove with 3 pots just use the steamer and leave the stove and the heat it produces behind. It is by far one of the best appliances I have bought. Easy to use, food tastes great and clean up is a breeze, not to mention it looks good sitting on the counter.

It's my best friend

By Veron

from Montreal

Silver Reviewer

-This is my third and last review about this steamer. I cannot be thankful enough to Walfgang for inventing it and SCH for making it popular. This steamer has helped me enormously to change the way I prepare may food for good and has shorten my cooking time (for 1-2 persons) in many cases for up to 12 min making the cooking process so much more enjoyable.
-Eg. Small white potatos cut in half, sweet pepper cut in 4, tomatos and apples cut in 8, mushrooms - all these delicious products for just 12min. And if potato is not ready, add more min or finish on the frying pan.
-The main idea is to spread the vegies in 1 layer, keep the cooking time short (12 min is my favorate) and water level higher (30min is my favorate), place all trays in order to cut steaming out, move the small table with your steamer away from the wall while cooking.
-This steamer is also the best to desinfect or finish washing the vegies from pesticides and so on. Eg. Cellery is hard to wash enough, but the juice is very healthy. After washing stems with water, steam them for 30sec, but no more than 1min, so they wont be too soft for juicer.
-After saying all the thanks, I also would like to mention that its regular price on SCH goes a bit over the roof. My concern is its fragile plastic parts. I've recently found 2 small cracks on the cover edge. It's not something to worry immediately, howevere...
-Should you lower the steamer's regular price or make its showstoppers more often, this steamer's popularity would hit the seiling for many years to come.

The best product by Wolgang - I love it!

By CAROL

from SCARBOROUGH

Bronze Reviewer

This steamer is one of my favourite kitchen appliances. I steam all of my vegetables which is done in little time, and it's perfect. This is one appliance I will never put away and it saves on electricity. I don't think I can thank Wolfgang enough with manufacturing a steamer of this concept. Kudos to you! Ladies, if you are ambivalent about buying one - don't be especially if you are health conscious.

It's addictive!

By Veron

from Montreal

Silver Reviewer

This is my second review. I enjoy using this steamer every day, and I would feel without it like without hands.
Here are some useful tips I would like to share:
1) in order to minimize the quantity of steam coming out, I install all 3 baskets with its trays even if I need only one of them for cooking. Trays serve as bariers to transform steam into the water.
2) since I use this steamer, my Hydro bill came smaller. To cut on electricity even more, I set timer for 2 min less. When the timer stops, steam will still coming out and continue cooking. Eg. Poached large eggs take me about 6 min on the lower tray. I Set timer for 4 min and get them out 2 min later. Anyway, when the timer stops, the steamer is too hot to touch.
3) Chicken thighs and breasts in 15 min on the low tray. When I cook chicken, I make 1 big cross cut on top of the thighs or breasts (upto the middle) and add spices inside. It allows the steam enter the center faster, and this way I don't lose all juses. After the timer stops in 15 min, do not open the the cover for at least 5 more min. I find that the results are equally good when chicken is not completly defrosted.
4) I am not sure about cooking rice in this steamer. I tried it and found the rice too watery. I still like to cook my cerials in a small casserol low and slow.
5) To prolongate the life of the steamer use filtered or boiled water. I don't boil water for this purpose and do not add hot water neither, but, when I have some cold boiled water left in the kettle, instead of throwing it away I fill the steamer.
Bon apetit!

Second Review-still love this

By Spitfire

from Hamilton

Top 10 Reviewer

Bought this as a showstopper & as well I bought another for a gift.
Have not had the chance to gift it but won't hesitate to do so.
I am fortunate to have a good supply of organic veggies delivered at my door gratis.
The steamer has been wonderful in processing some of these lovely fresh veggies.
One of the things that I find difficult is the timer which is not accurate; nor does the amount of water correspond to the recommended requirements.
It takes a bit of fine tuning to estimate what timing is required for the specific product.
It still amazes me how fast the steaming is and I think that this machine could be improved considerably.
The unit is very easy to clean and stacks well. I have limited space for storage and as I noted earlier am running out of space because I love Wolfgangs products.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC

By JANET

from NORTH VANCOUVER

I love the product. I haven't used a pot since it arrived. I cook poached eggs, boiled eggs to perfection. Vegetables are great and all types of potatoes are perfectly cooked. It is wonderful to be able to cook without added fat. Love it, love it, love it.
