Rosemary: you will LOVE your steamer. My daughter and I especially love to cook broccoli & cauliflower in the steamer. Don't need much at all - I use spray margarine on top for added flavor. I stayed away from the after xmas sales - just dind't need anything - our little house is too full as it is! What is it they say - you spend half your life accumulating things and the other half getting rid of them? Glad to have both our girls here in Columbia so I can give things to them!
