Advantages: Food tastes better, and more healthy

Disadvantages: more food, more cooking time needed

This electric food steamer has 3 food baskets, a lid and a rice bowl. The three food baskets have enough room to cook for a family of four. It has a 1 hour timer, which bleeps when finished. The food cooked in a steamer is more healthy and tastes better than boiled food.Vegetables are left green and crisp, and fish can be flaked easily. Only fresh cold water should be used, and no seasonings can be used in the steamer and should be added to the cooked food after cooking. More time has to be added to cooking times if you fill the baskets,but once steaming has started you can carry on doing other things and not worry about it untill the timer sounds. You have to take care checking food as steam can easily burn. I have no plans to go back to pots and pans and a crowded cooker, the steamer is quite compact and can sit in a corner out of the way. It can be cleaned in a dish washer so you don't have do do the washing up either.
