3778.0. "Vegetable Steamer" by MILPND::BENHAM () Tue Apr 06 1993 06:55

    I got a Black & Decker vegetable steamer for Christmas and have
    not used it yet.  Now that I'd like to use it I can't find the
    instructions.  Does anyone have a steamer that can tell me 
    how much water to add and what temperature I should turn this
    up to.
    
    Thanks

    For the steamer I have, I use:
    
    Add as much water as possible without coming up to the food storage
    level.
    
    Since the pot isn't sealed, a la a pressure cooker, I figure it stays
    at 212�F., the temperature at which the water boils.  I therefore
    turn the heat down (gas) so that it's just boiling, not vigorously
    boiling away all the water.

            Does anyone care to share the pros/cons on the brand of
    steamer that they may have. Seems like there are quite a few on the
    market today. And hows the quality of the finish product.
