You can walk away.” Buyers also praise the quick heat-up, the preset timer, and the parts that are easy to clean. Several buyers use it regularly, and one says the two supplied stew pots make soup convenient. The transparent water-level markings also make topping up easier, according to a verified buyer.
The Gadgeteer test put the G563 through setup, steaming corn and rice, and cooking marinated pork in the supplied small pots for 15 to 90 minutes. The tester found that it worked as advertised, with simple controls, easy cleaning, and storage for the parts in one unit. The test also found that steaming preserved the food's taste and nutrients better than boiling or sautéing. Its trade-off was a countertop footprint that felt large for the portions produced.
