    I use this item at least 1-2x a week czcams.com/users/postUgkxQJTPaJo-WI_mBKJOtoUVgCf0fPy2Wh90 Everything except the base is dishwasher safe, which makes for easy clean-up. If it finishes cooking the rice before you're ready to serve it, I recommend tossing in a small amount of water (especially if you're cooking the least amount possible) to prevent the rice at the bottom from drying out. The vegetable steamer feels a bit like a hit or miss with cooking times, and sometimes the color from the vegetables leaks down onto the rice. So, I prefer to steam my vegetables separately. Overall, great item for the cost. I've been using mine for over 8 months and am VERY happy with it!

  • @yellowbird5411
    @yellowbird5411 Před 3 lety +6

    Bought one again two days ago. It was $4. Boiling vegetables leeches the vitamins and minerals, and so I wanted to find a better way. In the past two days since buying it, I am re-appreciating how the flavor is enhanced, how my food isn't soggy, and how easy it is to reheat leftovers. You can put several things in the same basket. For lunch I had rice, a chicken thigh and a sliced carrot put in raw, but it cooked beautifully while the other food heated. The pans are not as dirty, so easier to clean. The basket is very easy to clean too. I am looking for more creative ways to use it now.

    So grateful for this video. I thought that the strainer doesnt have to go inside the pot, rather than stay open to full capacity over the edges of the pot. It kwpt falling in and i was thinkin what a piece of junk but then found this video and lol turns out it has to be this way. Haha. Thank you!!!

    So I've had this flower steamer "thing" in my collection of lids and really didn't know what is was for about 4 years. One day I cleaned out my lid drawer and found it and have been using it to make tea.
    I put my tea bags in it then fold it up in a small pot. Honestly that's what I thought it was made to do, hold the tea bags at the bottom of the pan so it could allow the water to pass through them. Now I know the real reason for it
    Thanks for your video

    Do have to say that salt doesnt make it boil faster, it will actually boil slower! Salt makes it harder for water to leave as vapor so it raises the boiling point of the water, thus making it boil slower.
    It will taste way better tho! 🤤
