Black & Decker Handy Steamer® and Rice Cooker-lowest price ...
We prefer brown rice to white, but since it takes so long to cook the traditional way and leaves a sticky mess in the pot, I use the steamer to cook the maximum amount the cooker will hold. I use it almost daily and couldn’t live without it. I use it to steam veggies, cook brown rice (comes out perfectly. I am even making my infant daughters baby food with it. So far, I have not screwed up anything in the steamer (which I apparently do when cooking quite often). We received the larger steamer as a gift many years ago, and used it until we burned out the heating element. But I always felt that it was too large for just the 2 of us. I couldn’t find one locally in any store to replace it, but I found one on Amazon. But as long as I can get a replacement on-line, I won’t worry about ever being without my steamer. Also a quick note, the screw that comes with the knob is too long so make sure and get a shorter one while at the hardware store. The eggs are perfectly cooked, peel easier than traditional boiled ones, and never have that green ring around the yolk. I love this steamer. Best of all, you set the timer and walk away and 35 minutes later the eggs are perfectly hard-cooked. The only complaint I have is that there is not an easier way to remove the lid to get the food. If there is still steam in there, you have to be VERY careful when removing the lid so as not to burn yourself. It is true the design is poor so the steam can burn your hands when you remove the lid. ) and even hard-cook eggs. I went to the hardware store and bought a white plastic cabinet knob for $1. ) and then I portion individual meal servings into storage containers and freeze them for later meals.
