VEGETABLE AND OTHER TYPES OF STEAMERS

VEGETABLE AND OTHER TYPES OF STEAMERS


One of the most effective and healthy ways to prepare food is through steaming it. When most people think of steaming food the first thought that comes to mind are vegetables, but steaming is not limited to this. Nearly any food can be prepared using the steaming method.  If you already cook using this method, nothing more need to be said. If you are new and are looking for other ways for food preparation, then this website is for you.

There are several types of steamers available on the market today, let’s take a look at a few. I don’t know about you, but asparagus was one of the most difficult foods for me to prepare. It was either over cooked (yuck) or under cooked. I could never get it right. Thank goodness for the invention of an Asparagus steamer.  If you want perfectly steamed asparagus try one of the following Norpro, All-clad and RSVP, each of these come with very high ratings and are at very reasonable prices.

 How about rice? Steaming is also one of the best ways for preparing rice. In my opinion the best rice steamers include the Supentown sc-889, the Better Chef and the Rival RC101 rice cookers. These models vary in functions, but each can prepare up to at least 10 cups of rice and range from 50 to 80 dollars in cost. Each comes with at least 1 year manufacturer’s warranty.

For all of you hot dog lovers, there are several hot dog steamers available at very low prices. There is the unique Maverick HC-01 hot dog steamer, this steamer is actually shaped like a dog and can prepare 6 hot dogs in 9 minutes. If you are a bit of an entrepreneur then the Classic Steamro Jr. top loading steamer bun warmer combo or an APW Wycott hot dog steamer is perfect for your needs. The Classic Steamro is capable of steaming 130 hot dogs while the APW Wycott allows for 150 hot dogs and over 60 buns.

For parents a handy steamer to have is a milk steamer and frother.  A stove top milk steamer makes it relatively quick and easy to warm milk for a crying child. When those late nights turn into weeks, then a frothxpress becomes an essential first part of your day. With a frothxpress waking up in the morning is a little bit easier knowing a quick cup of cappuccino is only minutes away.

Regardless if you are steaming tamales or using your wood stove top steamer to humidify your home, having the right steamer is a must.
