Rating of the best double boilers up to 5000 rubles in 2022 (TOP 6)

In this rating, I have collected the 6 best double boilers up to 5000 rubles in 2022. If you are a fan of delicious and healthy food, then double boilers are what you need. Almost all multicookers, blenders for baby food have the ability to cook food for a couple, but there is nothing better than a narrowly focused device. The steamer has a large capacity, in almost all models it is possible to cook food on several floors, while preparing diverse products for consumption. The review considers the most successful models of 2022, selected based on consumer reviews and expert recommendations.

Home Element HE-FS1500

The price is 1000 rubles. It has the lowest power of all models in the review — 400 watts. Tanks of 2.5 liters are installed in two levels, the volume of the water bowl is 500 ml. Containers with comfortable handles. Simple mechanical control system.

Advantages:

1. Low price.
2. High build quality.
3. Reliable mechanical control system.
4. Compact size, takes up little space.
5. Comfortable handles on containers.

Flaws:

1. Takes a long time to heat up the water.
2. There are no indicators and no automatic shutdown when the water runs out. The control system consists of a timer for setting the cooking time.

Steamer for 1-2 people, cooking for more people is not very convenient due to the small size of the bowls. If high cooking speed is a priority, but the purchase budget is limited, it is better to take the Polaris PFS 0213 — its power is slightly higher, it is discussed below.

Polaris PFS 0213

The price is 2500 rubles. The model is small, the total volume of two bowls is 5.5 liters. The bowls fold into one another for compact storage. The control system is as simple as in the previous one — one mechanical timer with a setting of up to one hour. But the power is higher — 650 watts. There is a “quick steam” function that delivers a powerful stream of steam after 40 seconds. At the end of the work, an audible signal sounds. You can add water during cooking.

Advantages:

1. Compact, takes up little storage space.
2. Rapid heating of water. Fast steam function.
3. Recipe book included, instructions for cooking.

5. Sound notification at the end of cooking.
6. Simple mechanical control system.
7. Recesses for boiling eggs.
8. Shutdown at a lack of water.
9. Available in white and blue to choose from.

Flaws:

1. When filling the tank to the maximum, the water boils away and flows out. A good technique for cooking a small amount of food.

Great power without relying on the small size of the tank, which is why water gets out. Fast cooking, steaming in 40 seconds, but with large portions will create inconvenience. In addition to a larger capacity — 800 ml versus 500, similar to the Home Element HE-FS1500 model.

ENDEVER Vita 170/171

The price is 2900 rubles. High power — 1000 watts. 1 hour timer with auto shut off. Overheating protection with double level. The design has three tiers at once. Along with high power, this speeds up cooking and allows you to prepare a family meal in one go. The total volume of the trays is 11 liters, each is equipped with comfortable handles. Automatically turns off in the absence of water, the liquid level shows the indicator. It is allowed to add water to the operating unit.

Advantages:

1. The choice of design is in white, green, gray.
2. High power.
3. Three tiers.
4. Holes for eggs.
5. Illuminated water level indicator and timer.
6. Hole for adding water at the time of use.
7. Sturdy, durable plastic.
8. Double protection against overheating.

Flaws:

1. There are no pull handles on the condensate collection tray. You need to wait for the temperature in the liquid to drop in order to conveniently remove the container.

Models 170 and 171 are identical in technical characteristics, differ only in price. The cost of 171 is higher, it is green. If the color of the body is not important, you can choose a cheaper model 170 in gray design. The double boiler is large, against the background of the two considered earlier, the most powerful and roomy, the price is slightly higher.

Tefal VC 1301 Minicompact

The price is 3200 rubles. The manufacturer positions the model as ultra-compact, with an aqua timer — when the water level drops, it turns off by itself. Each dish has its own portion of water; when cooking, you need to pour the right amount of liquid recommended by the manufacturer for the volume and type of product. Three tiers for cooking different types of food. The lid of the steamer can be used as a tray.

Advantages:

1. Rice bowl included.
2. Compact storage.
3. Odorless plastic.
4. Volume container for collecting water.
5. Beeps after cooking.
6. Shutdown at the end of water.
7. Fast heating.
8. Simple, functional and reliable control system.
9. Water level indication.
10. The lid can be used as a tray.

Flaws:

1. There is no shutdown timer.
2. Capacities are not interchangeable, this minus follows from compact storage.
3. A piercing, unpleasant signal about the end of cooking.

Compact, powerful steamer is a good helper for a family of 2-3 people. The absence of a timer makes cooking somewhat more difficult, but reduces the price of the model. A well-known manufacturer whose equipment is worth spending money on. But if the presence of a timer is important, evaluate the following model — Tefal VC 1006 Ultra Compact.

Tefal VC 1006 Ultra Compact

The price is 5000 rubles. Equipped with a 1 hour timer. You can add water when using. Three-tiered bowls with removable grids, egg trays and a rice bowl are a complete set that justifies the price. The dimensions are compact, like the previous model, the bowls fold into one another, but this also makes them not replaceable. A significant advantage over all models in the ranking is the stainless steel case.

Advantages:

1. Compact storage.
2. Timer with shutdown.
3. Topping up water when using.
4. Steam does not break through the lid during operation.
5. Rich equipment.
6. Reliable and simple mechanical control.
7. Body made of steel.

Flaws:

1. Inconvenient grate design, it is difficult to wash food residues.

The cost is higher than the previous model presented in the TOP, but it justifies itself — the equipment is larger, the power is also higher — 950 W versus 650, there is a mechanical shutdown timer for 60 minutes, a metal case. If all these nuances are important, it is worth overpaying.

Braun FS 3000

The price is 5500 rubles. Fast steam generation — starts to soar after 45 seconds. Each container comes with its own tray. You can cook diverse products — the smells will not mix. Comes with a rice bowl. Tanks can be stored compactly, but you can replace one with another. The case has a compartment for the cord, which also facilitates storage.

Advantages:

1. Rice cup.
2. Individual condensate collection tray for each tank.
3. Fast steam function.
4. Heats up water quickly and starts steaming.
5. Interchangeable bowls, space-saving storage: the bowls stack one inside the other.
6. High quality plastic and assembly.
7. Simple, reliable control mechanism.

Flaws:

1. High price with modest functionality.

A reliable manufacturer, the overpayment for the brand justifies itself with a long time of use, according to customer reviews, the steamer will last up to 10 years without breakdowns. But if the budget does not include such an amount for the purchase of a simple kitchen appliance, you can choose from the first models considered in the review with a low price. It has good functionality and power, a large volume of containers and their interchangeability. This steamer is the best product for the home from the TOP.
