Let's see, got an Aurora steamer that I mostly cook rice in, but sometimes
steam veggies. Got a microwave veggie steamer that I really like as it's quick
but does the job. Broccoli takes 5 minutes and is crispy crunchy the way we
like it. Got the oriental steamer basket made of bamboo but seldom use it
unless I've got lots of time. Pretty much you can steam a mixture of veggies
without a problem in any of them. Steamed green beans and small onions are
right good.
