I am considering buying an Electric Vegetable steamer. I was wondering if any of you had and what you thought about them. What features should I look for?

Everything I have read says they are the best way to fix veggies!

George,


Sorry, I can't give you any advice on a veggie steamer.

I've always wanted one of those, but never purchased one.

I use one of those metal gadgets that expand to the size of your pot. I think I only paid around $3 for it. It works awesome. I always use it. Doesn't take up much room.

I don't have an electric veggie steamer (I just use the stove-top, basket in the pot method) so I can't comment on that.

I have a Hamilton Beach electric steamer that is as old as the hills but absolutely love it when making a big meal. I basically nuke if there is just me! I have been looking for an updated version, I guess because I have had it so many yrs, I am used to using it! I need to actually venture out in regards to roasting veggies................ I have so many different gadgets that it is scary. LOL

Hi sb,


I use the little el-cheapo steamer basket that others described.
