How do you steam?

In: Cooking Tips and Tricks [Edit categories]

Answer:

There are many ways to steam food. Sometimes it matters what you are steaming as to how you steam it. There are various vegetable steamers on the market that also can be used for things like rice steaming. You can use a metal collender to steam things like vegies and tomallies. The basic idea is to hold food over boiling water and allow the steam from it to cook it. There are also Chineez steamer baskets on the market that stack on top of each other so you can steam various combinations of food together with the same heat source.
