Enjoy it in good health. :D

It provides good health since it is our main vegetable steamer. As well as being good looking!

Nice beastie. I must confess years ago I bought an electric steamer from Oster and despite the fact that people often buy kitchen gadgets that end up collecting dust something I've beeen guilty of...this is one dedicated gadget that I've gotten years of use out of...precisely for the same reason...to steam veggies.

Seriously this thing f*ckin' rocks. It fires up instantly, so it steams food really quickly and reliably.

Really nice!! I'd like one of those.

I see they steam lobsters in it too. I love to eat lobster but I can't cook them. Makes me feel bad.

Yeah it cooks a host of stuff. I'm lazy. I use it mostly for veggies, but I have used it successfully for fish 'n crab legs.

Yeah I'm sure but I don't like to use the microwave too much for cooking. I use it sparingly.

EDIT: Moreover, if you were steaming fish or shellfish I doubt you'd wanna use a microwave for that. :sweat:

Nice. :applaud:

So let me ask a stupid question. Is it insanely crowded at Mitsuwa as a consequence?
