Vegetable Steamer

A vegetable steamer is an electric appliance that uses a double boiler system to heat water and steam food. Typically, vegetable steamers have reservoirs with marks for measuring proper water levels and timers for perfect steaming.

Vegetable steamers cook vegetables in a way that retains flavor and nutrients. Boiled vegetables can get overcooked and sapped of all vital nutrients. Flavor can be lost in the water as a result of boiling. Vegetable steamers retain nutrients and allow flavor to be sealed into the food. Another benefit of vegetable steamers is the portability of the unit. As they are used on tabletops or counters, they take up little room and offer extra space on stove burners for other foods.
