steamers

[festiveface]

anyone got one of those steamer baskets that you put over your pan from lakeland?

are they any good?

do you mean the foldaway steamer basket? two of my friends had that and liked it .. i couldn't be bothered ..

You can get them in Tesco and Asda for a fraction of the lakeland price. They are good.

Just buy a bamboo one for peanuts in an Asian shop.
I've had mine for about 15 years.

so i just stick it over a pan of boiling water and bung some veggies in it then?
how long does it take?

sorry rubbish cook alert!

Depends on what you're cooking!
I'd say about 5-10 mins with broccoli and firmer stuff.
Experiment a little!
I steam fish in mine too then dress with soy/rice wine/sesame oil and eat with greens and browned rice.

But moondog you are so healthy... What are you having with your pancakes?

I have a huge electric one that my Mum bought me when I said I wanted a little one to go on my pan. Might ditch it and get a little one that I might actually use instead.

sugar and lemon,like evryone else

greensleaves. We had a selection of lemon, sugar, syrup, jam and peanut butter available. DD aged 1 who had already had a cooked lunch and tea at nursery (including pancakes for dessert after lunch) ate 3.

Festiveface I think those steamers look great. Although I have definitely also seen them in Asda. Are you getting one?

We have a three tiered electric steamer. Actually, we use it so much that this is our third one in five years.

We just got the third one, and really, I wanted a hob-top stainless steel one, but couldn't find one with three layers. The electric one is fiddly to clean and store, but I think three tiers makes the difference (Chicken or fish in one section, vegetables with different densities in different baskets.

I'm going to get dh to take me to an asda for one when we get our new car. unfortunatly he has smashed the other one up last night

the car, not the steamer lol
