Black & Decker Handy Steamer & Rice Cooker — 

I went to my friends house for dinner and saw the Black & Decker Handy Steamer & Rice Cooker in use on the kitchen counter.  I don't know what planet I have been living on, but I had never seen an electric steamer until just then!  I always pictured the metal steaming pots you use on the stove.  Anyways, I was totally amazed at what it could do so I went out and bought one that very same weekend.

I don't know what I would do without my Black & Decker Handy Steamer now that I have been using it for so long.  I love that it is easy to use - just add water to the water tray and turn it on!  It is also a very healthy way to cook your vegetables.  It can also be used as a rice cooker, but I am old-fashioned I guess because I like to make my rice on the stove.

The Scoop!

Even if you can't or don't like to cook, you can use this steamer.  Just be careful when removing the lid to the steamer after steaming; I have burned my hands from not removing the lid quickly enough.

It is really good for asparagus. I like to put my asparagus in the steam basket with a clove of slice garlic. It is delicious.

I bet this would be great for fresh asparagus or a head of cauliflower!

It's so easy to use, even people who can't or don't like to cook and do it!

I have an inexpensive Cuisinart and just love it! I don't cook but we eat a lot of grains and this makes cooking them so easy.
