In becoming a recent vegetarian, I found that I am obsessed with steaming.

Steaming veggies is my new favorite hobby! Not only does it keep most of the veggie's nutritional value, but it looks pretty too. (:

I usually like to steam peppers, onions, broccoli, asparagus, and string beans. I'm currently using a stainless steel steamer, but am looking into a bamboo steamer.

What do you steam? xD

Did you make that? It looks gorgeous. eek

I'd love to have a bamboo steamer. I currently don't have any form of steaming utensil. I either cook in a pan or boil. I really should invest in one.

steaming rocks. I also use a stainless steel steamer basket- it works fine for me ^_^

I've never thought of steaming onions though eek Broccoli and green beans are the usual suspects for me.

I also love steamed red potatoes (cut into chucks about 1" per side). About half an hour in a plain steamer, but I use a pressure cooker and they're done about 10 minutes after it attains full pressure. I usually add salt and olive oil when they come out, but yesterday I tried them with a topping of plain whole yogurt eek and it was really yummy. To me at least. Maybe I'm weird.

I have a pressure cooker but not a steamer, per say.

My steaming consists of buying veg in a bag, sticking it in the microwave XD
