I need a good steeamer.
well a ok one then. my aluminum one from my Asian store works fine but it is so
thin it gets all bent up and sticks together. then it is easy to get burned taking the lid off. I have thought of a steamer insert for a pan but since I use the steamer every day I think a separate one is best. I like having two layers for different foods. -- Knight-Toolworks & Custom Planes Custom made wooden planes at reasonable prices See http://www.knight-toolworks.com For prices and ordering instructions. |

As an obvious fan of wood, I think you'd given some thought to bamboo steamers. Between my SS insert, my pressure cooker, and my bamboo stack, I'm a steamin' fool. :) nb |

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. Rosie |

I had thought of bamboo but anymore only Americans use bamboo steamers (G) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...9729 373&rd=1 http://tinyurl.com/592l4 here is the one I have it is only 13.99 for a new one. -- Knight-Toolworks & Custom Planes Custom made wooden planes at reasonable prices See http://www.knight-toolworks.com For prices and ordering instructions. |

Not sure the size of steamer you're looking for. But here's a model
used for steaming oysters, seafood, and all other sorts of food. With it's design it also doubles as a boiler or fryer. Hope this helps! http://www.outdoorculinary.com/table_topper.htm |
>Steve, you've piqued my curiosity. What are you steaming that you use >the thing every day? What's cooking? 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. -- Knight-Toolworks & Custom Planes Custom made wooden planes at reasonable prices See http://www.knight-toolworks.com For prices and ordering instructions. |

>Buy a good rice cooker and you'll have a good steamer. I have a good one but it was before steamers parts were added. I have thought of getting another one but this one has earned it's 100.00 price tag in the 10 or so years of use. I really don't want to spend close to that much again. plus if I am cooking rice then I could not steam the food. -- Knight-Toolworks & Custom Planes Custom made wooden planes at reasonable prices See http://www.knight-toolworks.com For prices and ordering instructions. |

I got a steamer from sears this fall it came with a egg rack, I have no clue where the instruction slash recipe book for it is but... if there is a rack for them ...they will cook. -- Starchless in Manitoba.

It was my fast meal for those days of stress. A can of condensed cream of chicken soup and enough water to make 2 cups. 1 cup of mixed veggies (of choice). 1 cup basmati rice. and 3 or 4 chicken thighs quartered. A pinch of cumin and maybe a mince clove of garlic. Chuck it all in, stir it around a bit, put the lid on and turn on the cooker...around 17 minutes (without supervision) later supper. The veggies will be 'well done' is the only draw back. You could chuck in some frozen peas when the rice has finished cooking. Stirring them in and avoid the 'well done'. -- Starchless in Manitoba.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. yes they seem too.
