does the steamer basket have a handle so you can easily lift it out when hot?

YES!!! It has a thin white handle on the "inside" of the basket. May I say I love my steamer!!! Baked white potatoes are sooooo delicious, soft and moist. All the veggies and potatoes cook in half the regular time. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have.

The basket has a handle. However, I don't recommend using this to cook spaghetti. It's the only reason I bought mine and I wanted to send it back. Amazon was nice enough to give me a refund and told me not to worry about sending it back. I now use the basket for straining cooked hamburger, and I use the actual pot to catch the grease. That's about all it's good for, when it comes to trying to microwave spaghetti.

The one I purchased does not have a handle. It is small enough for me to pick up easily.

Yes it does. It would be nice if the handle was a different material so it wouldn't. Usually I just take it off really fast or use a hot pad.

Yes it does. One thing to note, it is heavy and the handle is smooth so it is a little hard to hold.

Yes. Those long skinny metal legs can be touched by fingers and not too hot. And on the top, you can grab that handle and carry/move the entire unit with out a glove.

Yes, there is. The bottom portion of the unit slides out to reveal a handle inside the bucket. The handle is easy to use but you just have to be steady when you lift the water-filled bucket. Water has a tendency to spill a bit if you don't remove the lower portion with care.

It does not have a handle. It is fairley heavy and I don't move it around much. I can pick it up if I want too without any problem.

Yes, the handle has a button on the top that allows you to fold the handle in. This really makes it safe while cooking so it does not get bumped.

No, it doesn't. It comes with a kind of hook to pull out hot trays/racks. Also, it's large enough so you can reach to slide stuff off the tray without burning your hand on the sides. Even my husband, who has large hands doesn't hand a problem.

Yes. It is in the top of the bucket. It flips up for lifting . However, as it suggests in the manual, I lift it out using 1 hand for the handle and the other to support the bottom of the bucket for stability. It's very easy to lift in and out of the unit.

Yes and no - There is a hook at the front of the basket directly across from the handle which allows the basket to be raised up. However, when using this feature since there is no hook on the handles side, the basket is slanted. In the raised position, the bottom of the basket is only 3" or less from the bottom of the pan on the hook side which may not be above the surface of the oil. The bottom of the basket on the side near the handle is less than 2" above the bottom of the pan. I have never used this pan to fry in so don't know how well it would drain. I bought it since I wanted a large saucepan but was disappointed that the lid had a cut out for the basket handle. It was not noticeable to me in the picture since I wasn't expecting that. In the above picture, the dark area right next to the pan handle is the cut out.

Yes, and I love this steamer. Better built than any other steamer I have owned. Constant steam, no more pumping the handle to get steam.

No. As the unit opens out for the basket, the handle comes up. Lowering the handle smoothly closes the basket and it's flat for storage or travel.

No, the handle is never hot. There are two steam escape holes on the lid. These should be positioned to allow the steam to escape to the side. The handle is also made from a plastic that does not appear to conduct heat.

Yes there's a steam basket. I wouldn't recommend this rice cooker if you make quick meals often. It takes an hour to cook! My old rice cooker took 15 minutes.

According to the manufacturer, it does. However, when I purchased this tote from Amazon, it did not. I had to contact Barker to get the handle.

No handle. It is very heavy for me but my husband can handle it ok. Hope this helps.
