I got a steamer,its the only kitchen appliance I use every day.I cook everything in my steamer,fish,chicken and vegetables are great done in the steamer,20 minutes or less with the turn of the 'on' button and I have a lovely dinner ready.best of all its one of the healthiest ways to cook,no oil!
MORE INFORMATION:
you can add any herbs or spices or flavorings in the bottom of the steamer,steamed lemon chicken is lovely!
I fell in love w/ veggies that come in steamer bags that you put directly in the microwave. So I was thrilled when these came out. They are so much less expensive than buying brand name veggies in single-use steamer bags. Put in any fresh or frozen veggies, fish or other meat, microwave away!
MORE INFORMATION:
I reuse these Ziploc® bags many times b4 I discard them. They are easy to wash with a dishcloth or dish wand. Cooking times vary from their labeled times according to the microwave's wattage. When you steam fish, you have to throw it away after 1 use!
