Microwave Idli Maker - Makes 12 Idlis (Exclusive from Great Elect)

I am from Northern parts of India where we don’t make idlis and other South Indian dishes at home. But I am a big fan of South Indian delicacies. They are delicious, easily digestible and on top of all, maintain the nutritional value of the food.I have never cooked idlis at home and decided to give this idli maker a try. And I admit that I failed terribly first time but learned a lot from the mistakes and since then, I have never had to go to a restaurant to enjoy the idlis.THE GOOD:1. The quality of the plastic used is very good and it doesn’t smell when you cook the idlis for longer duration in microwave owen.2. Each plate has four slots and there are three plates so you can effectively make 12 idlis in one go.3. The container as well as the plates are easy to clean and assemble.4. There is a small vent at the top to let excess heat escape the container so that one doesn’t get hurt by accumulated steamTHE BAD (not exactly!!):1. Having some way to secure the lid with red bottom container is desirable.2. A handle on the top (or small flaps on the red bottom vessel) would make it easy to remove the whole setup from the microwave easy (specially when its hot after cooking).TIP: Make the batter a little thinner and try making small size idlis. They cook approximately in 7-12 mins depending on the thickness of the batter and the power raying of the microwave oven used.In short, I would say this is the best 20 bucks I have spent in buying any kitchen item !! I CAN SUURE YOU THAT YOU WONT REGRET GETTING THIS IDLI MAKER !!!

This item is very very useful and comes really handy for quick South Indian breakfast.So far I have been using this from the past 2 weeks and so far I have no complaints.Quality:The quality of plastic is good and it is decently sturdy. The Idli trays are strong enough and their character doesn't change even after leaving them for 6 minutes in the microwave.(The last set I had, used to have this problem).Quantity:I wish this set could host up to 4 trays (16 Idlis) so that it would made our life little more easy. But this is not a complain, just a "better-to-have" idea.Size:The Idlis when cooked are small. Each Idli spot holds only 1.5 oz (50 ml) of batter. You can imagine how big the end product could be. :)Cleaning:Very very easy to clean if you let the whole unit soak in water (hot/cold) for 10 minutes. Cleaning the steel unit needs more effort, but that is an entirely a different ball game (with respect to taste) --> :)Bottom Line:I really enjoyed this item and surely recommend buying this.

We used it like once a month and after about 3 years the plastic started breaking and then we threw it out. Usage was pretty simple, and cleaning also not too difficult if you leave it in water for some time. I brought a steel one next time which works amazingly well.P.S.: Price has more than doubled compared to what I paid for and so now it is not worth, better to get a steel one.

makes very tiny idlys. You have to make many of them for a decent breakfast.

This Idly Maker truly lives up to its hype. This little appliance is a game-changer for anyone who loves idlis but doesn't have the time or inclination for traditional steaming methods. The simplicity is remarkable – just pour your batter, microwave, and enjoy perfectly cooked idlis in minutes. No more fiddling with steaming pots or worrying about uneven cooking.The three racks are a fantastic feature, allowing you to make a decent batch in one go, perfect for a small family or a quick weekday breakfast. Cleanup is also a breeze; the racks are easily removable and washable. The build quality feels solid and durable, suggesting this will be a kitchen staple for years to come.While some might argue that microwave idlis don't taste exactly the same as traditionally steamed ones, the difference is negligible, especially considering the convenience factor. For a quick, easy, and reliable way to get delicious idlis on the table, the Tabakh Prime 3-Rack Microwave Idly Maker is unbeatable. It deserves its five-star rating and earns a spot in my highly recommended kitchen gadgets.

I have been using this for many years now. Still works as expected. It would have been useful if provided a tiny brush to clean holes. But I purchased separately

Very flimsy.

I bought this after wanting to purchase an idli maker for a long time. While this is an okay solution, it is plastic. Microwave+plastic = not good! I mean we can't taste it, but I know I am ingesting harmful chemicals. In addition to that, the container gets super hot and the lid is not very secure.So, to sum it up, I will only use this if I absolutely have to. It is an okay solution if you really want idlis, but not a long-term solution.
