There are a few threads on this topic but I haven't seen much feedback from someone who actually uses a collapsible steamer for a false bottom. I'm using converted kegs for my eHERMS setup. I'm looking for a cheaper alternative to buying a false bottom. The steamer seems like a good idea (cheap, removable, holes already drilled). Can anyone who uses or has used one of these comment on the effectiveness in a mash tun? Any problems with stuck mashes?

I have used a steamer basket in my cooler mash tun for over a year and have never had a stuck mash. I started using it just because we had it in the kitchen. Never felt the need to upgrade. I am surprised how well it has worked.
