Thread: Black & Decker Handy Steamer

Just got my new Black & Decker handy steamer in today, Best $26 bucks I have ever spent! My house water is at 128 degrees because I have small children. I saw a post earlier about hand towel steamers and did some research.

I thought; can this get my towels as hot as 176 degrees? I added water and 4 minutes later I had three extremely hot towels on my face. I thought 176 would be to hot so at 4 minutes it was about 145 ish.

It was very nice to replicate a barber shop shave. Again it was a great investment.

Great idea!! I never thought about it, but yeah again, that's a great idea.

This is the one right?

Buy The Black and Decker 7 Qt. Food Steamer | HS1050

When I was in the Phillipines I was shaved by a gent who used a rice cooker for his steam towels-- it seemed to work well enough. It's hard to tell from the pics, how much counter space would you say that bad boy takes up?

Judging by the pictures I would say it is about the same size as the larger food processors.

I bought it online at target.com, the item# is 11301179 DPCI# 242-12-8801. I used it again today, it is very nice, I feel my beard is that much softer to get a great shave.

And they work great for food too best Vegi and Rice steamer I have found yet

I would hazard a guess that one should not put one's towels in with the veggies and rice. Multi-tasking has its limits.
