Review: This book about STEAMING FOODS is just what I needed! Before I decided to purchase this book, I looked into other STEAMER Kindle books (reading the samples) and none I could find were as helpful as this book. Below I state why I am so happy now that I found this book:

1) There is a section called Vegetable Sides - This is my favorite section in this cookbook because it covers the most popular veggies. The recipes are just superb and I love that it gives the time it takes for each veggie for steaming.

2) Since I am in the process of learning how to use a steamer, this book describes the different types of steamers: Electric, Stove Top Steamers (I have an insert adjustable basket that I use in saucepans), and Bamboo steamers. In this section, each type is covered.

3) Another section that I found so very helpful is the steaming tips section. In this section, she covers how much water to place into the steamer, be sure to defrost meat before steaming; all food should be cut to same size and more.

4) The section that has The Cooking Guide is another favorite of mine because all types of foods are covered and how long to steam them. It even includes how long to steam noodles and rice!

5) RECIPES - The recipes for meats, fish and veggies were some of the best that I have found. My favorite recipes in this book include: Lime and Baby Carrots, Lemon Oil Asparagus, Basil Zucchini, Lime and Coconut Lentils, Cumin and Turmeric Cauliflower, and Crushed Butternut Squash.

6) Another superb recipe is Savory Spiced Steamed Rice. This has vegetable stock, mushrooms, red pepper, onion and tomatoes!

7) The Poultry section is excellent! There is a recipe in there for Lemongrass and Ginger Chicken that I tried and it is very, very good! Since I did not find Lemongrass, I used celery instead and LEMON PEPPER SEASONING. The result was just perfect!

For me, I use a steamer insert (adjustable basket type) in my saucepan. However, lately I prefer to use my new electric Aroma combo 6 cup rice cooker and steamer (I purchased this electric Aroma combo rice cooker/steamer here on Amazon for about 23 dollars and it is a steamer and also a rice cooker. This combo unit is perfect for steaming for one or two and I use it everyday!

If you are thinking of steaming foods, this is the book that I suggest to you. For me, I love this very helpful book!

Thank you for reading this review and I hope that it was helpful to you.

Review: This book is great -- factual, to the point, easy to read / find recipes, and short (not overwhelming).

I've been steaming food for years but never thought to buy an actual steamer. I'm not much of a cook and the idea had never occurred to me. When I ran across a Cuisinart steamer, it seemed like a great idea. So I bought it and two cookbooks to give me some ideas about how to use it -- the Skinny Steamer (with marginal reviews) and Cooking with Steam (said to be the classic, but also with marginal reviews).

Cooking with Steam is more comprehensive in a sort of big cookbook kind of way. For me, a little too comprehensive with a lot of recipes of things that I would never make. It also is not laid out as well and spends a lot of time each recipe talking about various specific steamers (not including the Cuisinart, and information that I'm not interested in anyway).

The Skinny Steamer has shorter easier recipes that are laid out one to a page with clear steps. Recipes that have fancy names that I will never make are presented in a way that make it easy to substitute ingredients.

This book is good for people not trying to make a fancy nine course French meal in a steamer, but who just want to get some ideas about how to use a steamer, and make some healthy easy meals.

Review: I purchased this along with a Puck steamer to help me get some ideas. To my surprise I found many different recipes that look very intriguing that I could try with my new steamer. I did try one or two and they worked out very well. The directions were clear and concise. I highly recommend this particular book if you do have a steamer and want some new ideas on what to do with it. I did not give this five stars because I do not think a cookbook should be given five stars. But this was a very very good book to help you with ideas as to how to add different dishes for a dinner or supper.

Review: I do like it and it's quick & healthy way to cook.
But I think the more I use it the plastic may warp after repeated usage. Could be wrong but typically plastic does warp. Just my thoughts.
