I have had a bamboo steamer-- 2 parts and a lid for years. I bought it in
Hawaii , but I bet you could find one at one of the Asian Stores. It was in
expensive , attractive and is as good as new.

just veggies. I have been getting home so late it is the only way I have time to
cook them. plus I can do allot with them after they are steamed.
though I wish I knew if I could steam eggs in the shell over boiling them for
hard boiled eggs.

Buy a good rice cooker and you'll have a good steamer.
