...investing in a steamer. The Hinari two-tier steam supreme has two very generous compartments which easily hold enough veg to feed a family of four and can also be used independantly. It also comes with a rice steaming dish which easily inserts into any of the compartments. It's not just useful for steaming veg and rice, it can also be used for steaming meat, poultry or fish and one of the compartments is moulded at the bottom to easily hold eggs. ...

Easy to use timer control which 'Pings' when food is ready. The downside of the steamer is the cleaning after use, but I find getting someone else to do the dishes conquers this problem. ...

Advantages: can cook a whole meal in it, and it's healthy
Disadvantages: can't think of any

This is one of those items that I thought I'd get, it would be a bit of a fad, and would end up stuck in the cupboard. I was wrong though! Maybe I'm naive, but it's surprising how much you can actually cook using this, it's not just for steaming your veg at all. I have also steamed fish, rice, even a whole chicken, and my mum has made a chocolate cake (which was delicious, and because it came from a steamer, you could kid yourself it was healthy!). ...
...but it's actually easier than you'd think, because you can use one, two or all three of the bowls, you can cook a whole meal in it, so there is actually less washing up. Also, the middle bits come away, so you can put a whole chicken in, and this also makes it easier to clean (the bowls go in the dishwasher too). You can't 'over-do' veg in a steamer either, which is handy if the phone rings etc, and of course steaming keeps in all the goodness which ... Read review

Advantages: Healthy way to eat, uses minimal power.
Disadvantages: Not good capacity

My experience with this product was fantastic, not only is it compact enough to fit almost anywhere in your kitchen it also has health benefits. Its much healthier to steam vegetables because you get more of the goodness and you can also steam fish. The price for what you are getting is extremely good value for what it gives. Its perfect when you want to have a healthy meal with your family and relatives and even your friends and after the meal you ... Read review

Advantages: steams veggies, healthy, very cheap. Easy to refill with water mid use.
Disadvantages: longer cook times than guidelines, beware of heat at end of cooking

...through Argos & found the Cookworks 3 bowl steamer in silver at only £12.99. Nowhere on this is a model number, not even on the instructions, but thats the title of the product. The picture at the bottom represents my model. It has 3 big bowls & a unit at the bottom with the controls to generate the steam from water you put in the trough at the bottom. It has a maximum & minimum water guage, which is very usefull as you can see if the waters getting ...
...system where the bottom containing the element, water & controls, has 2 handle looking sides, in them is a hole. You can tip extra water into this hole instead of dismantling all the levels whilst cooking. Which is very handy as Im sure you would burn yourself if you had to fill it mid flow. You have on the bottom control unit a timer switch. It is very primative, it is a turn switch that ticks away till it gets to 0, then a bell goes off, like ... Read review
