Vegetable Steamer???Tell the appliances you love and why

[Guest guest]

What steamer was recommended? I am getting one as a belated mother's day gift

(yes, my husband asked me as I was hungover at 9 a.m. on Mother's Day what I

wanted as my Mother's Day gift! LOL)

Donna, you missed your vegetable steamer! LOL (I bought mine

If the definition of appliance also includes gadgets, I need to make

another list. :-)

I have two and recommend the Black and Decker rice cooker/vegetable steamer. The

Fuzzylogic ones are also quite nice, but much more expensive.

Most steamers now serve as rice cookers, too. When you select your new

steamer, be sure to get one with a plastic cooking tray. The older ones and

some new ones have an aluminum cooking pot and tray so that tiny amounts of

aluminum are actaully released into the food. We know now how dangerous that

is.

If my hubby owe me a gift, I would get my vegetable steamer on freecycle or a

second hand place and save the owed gift for something else. Thousands of

steamer/rice cookers are bought for and by people who eat frozen vegetables.

The steamers take up space on their shelves for a couple of months and then are

given away. I got one of mine, brand new, still in the box with instructions at

a second hand store for $2.99. The other I got free on freecycle. It did not

have the instructions, but really a vegetable steamer is pretty self explaitory.

Katie,

Thanks. I was wanting a nice Wok and bamboo steamer, and I am sure I will have

to purchase it, as he can be clueless
