Steamer

Went over to a friends this weekend past and she had a steamer to steam
veggies and I didn't take a close look at what it's brand etc was - Any
of you use a veggie steamer (electric) and if so do you love it and what
brand? Was it expensive and wheres the best place to get one?

I've got one. Its a blackanddecker - I believe. My mom got it for
me about 6 yrs ago for a gift. She bought herself one, loved it so
much she bought a second one to take with her to work, and a 3rd for a
gift for me.

I use mine occasionally. The issue I have is its basket is large and
bulky for cleaning. (I HATE DOING DISHES).

I don't have an electric model but I do have one for the microwave and like
it.

We also use a microwave one. We really like it; it's how we usually
fix our veggies.

Have you tried steaming fish in yours? Mine has directions for preparing
fish this way but I've never tried it.

No, but that's an interesting thought. We'll have to do that!

Thanks,

Go to Wal-Mart, Target, etc and look for this little fold up basket
with three little half inch legs or the bottom. Pull the sides until
it is the size of any of your pots, (the width is adjustable) place it
in the pot, pour water under the leg height. Put vegetables in the
basket put on lid, turn on heat.. wha la... steamed anything.

I have had one of these little $4.95 plus tax gadgets for years.
I saw one yesterday on the rack. (they still make them)

I have a Calphalon stainless steel universal one that oddly enough doesn't
fit my Calphalon pots. Once I bought a 2 quart Mirro saucepan from
Wal-Mart, I was off and running. I steam everything now. (I used to nuke
all veggies)

they are cheap and sold at walmart. They must all be good. We use ours
and it is good. Try this. Take stir fry frozen vegetable mix and steam
it. Then mash it and add a little butter as you are mashing. Really
nice food.

If you mash your veggies you miss all the calories burned from chewing! ;-)

(I'm SO grateful that I learned to like veggies when my mom was on weight
watchers - I've never had butter on them)
