Electric Steamer Recipes?!
Electric Steamer Recipes?
I just bought a nice Sunbeam electric steamer today at Goodwill. The recipe booklet was missing, so I was wondering if anybody had any great recipes for steamed veggies, dumplings, meat dishes, etc.? Thanks!
Answers:
Fill the water reservoir to the line indicated and steam away......I don't cook meat dishes except fish in my steamer......the beef and pork tend to come out kind of "grey" looking, and not really appetizing to the eye......Veggies, on the other hand, come out beautufully......from green beans to zucchini to broccoli......I season them first, turn it on for the time needed to steam the veggie (denser veggies take longer, of course) and dive in!!! In the case of fish, ANY fish that I've used in my steamer comes out great, and the nicest thing about the steamer is that you never have to lift the lid, you can see exactly what's going on in the steamer......I'd also recommend that you go to Sunbeam dot com and request the owner's manual to be downloaded or sent to you......that way you can get "exact" recipes.........Oh, and you'll come to love your steamer......it's great when you need the extra stove space on busy holiday times, it can steam just about anywhere......and they're as useful (IMO) as the almighty crock pot......Good luck, and experiment.....God Bless......and Enjoy!!!
