What is the best kind of steamer to buy?

Last week there was a lot of discussion about steamers and one and two level kinds - for veggies and chicken etc. Can someone recommend which they like best. I checked Kohls.com and they only show a Cuisinart. Does Target carry these steamers. in STLReminder: The South Beach Diet is not low-carb. Nor is it low-fat.

Hi ,

I use a steamer similar to this one:

Mine is just a stovetop model and it fits on the small burner of my

stove. It's not fancy, but is easy to clean up. I usually just

do veggies in mine but have cooked meat in it too. I

think I got mine (it was years ago) in a kitchen store in a mall.

Or I might have just picked it up at the grocery store, I don't remember

for sure. It was cheap, under $20.

I use the way old-fashioned one that opens up like petals on a

flower. It has little legs to stand inside a pot, but I prefer to

stick something through the little circular hanger so it hangs at

the top of the pot with the water.

Cost very very little, and works fabulously with veggies.

I have a little basket type steamer which I use for veggies. How does one

steam meat? What seasonings are used? Is the liquid water or broth? Or does

it make a difference? How long does it take to steam cook, say, a chicken

thigh?

This is very intriguing.
