Steaming Foods

Steaming Foods

Has anyone used a dedicated food steamer? I've used those metal baskets you put in pans as well as a steamer attachment on a rice cooker, with less than optimal results.

I just ordered this on Amazon, hoping it'll be a good choice for mainly veggies and fish (they say you can steam chicken too).

Any useful tips or recipes or what has worked and not worked with using this kind of device? I imagine I'll be using this mainly for sweet potatoes, fish/chicken, brocolette and butternut squash.

Since I am a major proponent of high fat diets, I only use steamers to cook vegetables, but I can easily use a pot, with a strainer and lid instead of a steamer so I rarely go through the hassle of pulling it out of the cupboard and washing it. I also have a bamboo steamer that I used for Asian dumplings, but I haven't used it in a couple of years.

Going to garage sales and thrift stores, I find steamers, juicers, convection ovens, and other types of specialty culinary equipment all the time for pennies on the dollar.

Yeah, I plan to get more fats through MCT oil/bulletproof coffee I drink in the morning. I do like vegetable side dishes and have mainly been roasting them. Would like to try steamed chicken breasts to put into salads and wraps. I used to work at Sbarro's in the mall food court in high school, and we had an industrial steamer that made a lot of the dishes (lasagne, even the frozen chicken parmesan).

I use a basket in a pot and lid all the time for veggies.
