I can't tell from pictures or description...does the food sit in the water or is there a separate basket that allows the food to sit above the water?

here you don't really need to put water, at least not a lot. I never do, anyway. the top seals pretty well so that humidity is kept inside and that cooks your food.

There is no separate basket....the food sits in the water...but honestly, many foods (veggies) will steam very well with just a tiny bit of water....- a few tablespoonsHope this helps... It works great. keeps the moisture in the food.

It's not a steamer in the conventional sense. 2 pcs (lid & bowl) made of silicone. Water only used for rice, quinoa, grits & etc where the seed or grain requires water to cook -- mixed as you would in a saucepan. Veggies (broccoli, corn, carrots) require no water. Oil/butter if u like. Comes with cookbook to lead u through. Mastrad has a website that has recipes & techniques, but amazon.com had better prices. We love ours.

There are no slots for food and water. It is a cage designed just for travel. However, you could put stand-alone dishes at the bottom of the cage for a short period. Again, this cage is for short-term use only. DO NOT use it as a long-term container for any bird. It's simply too small for that.

It is two separate pieces. Haven't even used sand in it yet. We just put water in both sides. Figured the kids would get it all mixed together anyway.

It doesn't. It's for dry food only. I use different dishes for the wet food.

No, it doesn't have a separate section for the water bladder. The only opening is the roll top, so the straw has nowhere to come out while keeping the bag water tight.

The basket does not sit directly on the bottom, but it's not too far from it either. We've used it for frying a turkey, but we're looking forward to using it for crab/shrimp boils this summer. I would say you could steam in it, too, if you wanted to, but you'd have to refill with water fairly often I think.

You just lay the basket into the fryer there is no down position just in the fryer. It does have a drain position you hook the basket to.

It just sits on top. No real seal. I don't store food in it, so I'm not sure if food would stay fresh.

Thank you for your message to Hammacher Schlemmer. No, the basket does not allow for some water to remain. Please contact me if you require additional assistance. Thank you.

Ha, the Mrs. asked me the exact same thing when she saw me setting this up. There is a tiny, little slotted plastic grill that fits into notches at the out flow spout. It allows the water to trickle out but the fry remain in the plastic box. The trickle is so light that the fry do not get stuck to the grill. However, if you put anything in with the fry (I put in a tiny plant they could hide in) that may block the out flow. So I check it each day and so far all is fine.

There are holes for each leg to fit in so there legs hang down in the water. My grandson loves his and you can leave the top off for a while and then put it back on so they don't get to much sun. The sides of the top are clear and it makes it so they can still see everything and everyone. He loves it and we are very happy with it.

The basket was included. I use it to hold a container of water and their dog treats. Very handy.

The food bowl is optional and removable. The water "bowl" is permanently attached.

You take the entire top plastic off to access the food. It only has two different heights as well.

HelloI put a glass on the edge of the tank and then put the feeder on the glass, I note that the output of the meal is over water, but away from the bubbles, not to moisten the food.Regards

that's a slight issue, depending on your tank configuration. The unit should be slightly above water so that there is no way for the fry to escape from above, better, for other fish or aquatic animals to not get in from above, sometimes the lid even floats away. I use Hikari baby guppy food, really nice and the fry love it. Just a little goes a LONG ways. I have since stopped using this product and bought a small Aquaeon 2 gallon tank to transfer all the frys so that there is no possible other aquatic animals that eat your fry and also a LOT easier to feed

No other parts required. At the base of the float is a rubber (or similar softer material) ball that seats against the water inlet hole. When the float drops down, the ball tilts away from the hole and the water comes out of the space seen underneath the base of the float.
