I don't own a steamer basket. when I want veggies minimally cooked I
stir fry, or I add them to soups/stews at the very end.

It only takes a second to snap a pic, I'll usually snap 2-3, then
later or the next day is when I'll edit and choose one to post....
sometimes none are post worthy then I'll delete. I always keep my
camera nearby for the critters and for when the light is right
outside. I mostly take pics of critters, plants, and weather, very
few of food. Most times I forget to snap a food pic and when I
finally remember it's all eaten, then instead of plated pics I'll snap
a half potful. For me the food pics are for initiating a discussion
on methods, everyone will cook the same food differently. And some
will cook an interesting sounding dish but iunfortunately they ruin it
with lousy photography and awful plating (Sir Ukelele). And I really
don't appreciate it whan someone describes their dinner but then posts
an URL with the recipe and the image... that screams out liar because
most everyone with a cell phone has a camera handy... and modern cell
phones have excellent cameras, and these days ordinary digicams are
dirt cheap, no film or processing needed,
