Purchased used in near-new condition. It's quite convenient as a steamer, but I'm selling it because it didn't suit my needs. I steamed herbal balls with it about twice after purchasing. (I was planning to use it in a quiet place, but it has a spring-powered timer, so it makes a spring-winding sound like a toaster, which is why I'm selling it. It's not a problem for use in the kitchen for cooking.) Please understand that this item has been stored at home. Includes instruction manual and recipe book.
