nancy,

The "blooming" trivet works great.

I've used a pasta pot with insert but it wasn't greatness.

I was on drugs when I bought an electric steamer. It went on to a "better
life through garbage" a week later.

My old Sunday brunch place does a worldwind biz of steamed broccoli and
asparagus. Maybe other dishes too. I've always meant to ask how they do it.

I also was asking for waffles for probably 10 years so I'm kinda/sorta shy
about asking any more questions. <VBG>
