In today’s busy and hectic lifestyle, one is left with very little time to think about food, let alone cooking it oneself. The world is constantly trying to find quicker, simpler and smarter ways to cook. Add to this, the stress of eating healthy and ensuring the food you and your child eats is nutritious.

Plus, if you want your food to retain its nutrients, then you have to avoid frying and cut down on the oil too. Frustrating, isn’t it?

Not anymore! Try food steamers.

To begin, steaming is an excellent way to cook food without letting go of its nutrient value or flavour. This style of cooking is done by allowing the hot vapour to cook the food in an enclosed space.

Steamers predominantly come in two varieties – electric or stovetop. The electric ones come with stackable and perforated trays for large batches of food. Here, water is added to a chamber and heated until it turns to steam. On the other hand, a stovetop steamer comes with an insert that fits into the top of a saucepan filled with water. Food is placed in the insert that allows the hot steam to surround and gently cook the food.

Take the Hamilton Beach Digital Steamer for example. With a versatile, stackable 2-tier steaming, an automatic warm feature that keeps the food warm once cooked, and a digital touchpad that makes setting the timer easy – it is a good buy!
