Cooking Tools

Some things you get and never think about just last forever. My Mom had a ceramic box on the hallway table that we all placed our keys in the minute we walked through the door. She got it at the wedding from some Aunt I never met. It was nicely made. After years it was chipped but we always knew where the keys were.

So it is with the micro-steamer.


The absolutely retro Tupperware micro-steamer.

The bottom bowl takes a cup of water, the middle fresh veg. The middle bowl is basically a colander. I use this at least twice each week without a sign of wear. It turns out perfectly steamed veggies from the microwave every, single time.



It may not be the most artful presentation but it is as dependable as a best friend.



Steamed broccoli or asparagus, spinach or any vegetable and I've even cooked chicken and halibut in this. In fact it's perfect for poaching seafood.
