Can one obtain spare parts for the Tefal Compact Steamer, namely the lid, steam baskets, removable base and juice collector? What are the costs?

Is this appliance safe to use to prepare food for babies? Is it BPA free?

It claims to be bpa fbree, i think it is safe to use for baby because there is no direct food contact. If you prefer the safest option, you may wish to try Miele steamer but it costs about $1500. Food grade multiply stainless steel wok with rack (a wok with lid is deep enough and provides flexibility). There is a brand called Buffalo making these food grade stainless woks. My family has been using it for 20 years and it is still good. It costs about $200.

The recipe book I got with my recent purchase was very brief - only 10 pages in a massive book written in various languages. Is there another, more substantial recipe book available?

I have not been able to confirm if BPA Free - Contacting the Company could answer the question. I have not detected plastic smell at any time. We use it for 36 mins daily for vegetables and pre-soaked rice. I had several brands and they don't last long just a year or less

- None as Good as This one! so my man bought me a second one for my Birthday

and this one with proper care has lasted 19 months so far and still going.

I have already given detailed view of pros and cons in comparison with the others.

Are tefal steamers bpa free?

Hi Crystal, I don't know, I have not seen anything in the manual or on the Box. I would suggest you Google the company and contact them - they can tell you and might think to a) mention it in future manuals b) not use BPAs if customers are concerned. I use it daily and its a great one, the first one lasted for a year, I replaced it with a George Foreman but did not work for me so my man bought me another Vitacuisine and I am as happy as can be :)
