Hamilton Beach Digital Steamer

I have been wanting a steamer for quite some time now. Steaming food does not require the use of any added butter or oils so this makes steamed food a little more healthy for you. Plus, it is so easy to do. 


I purchased the steamer above a few months ago and am now reporting back to let everyone know what I thought about it. After many uses I have decided that I LOVE this steamer. It is so easy to use. You just add water and set the timer. When it is finished it let's you know with a few beeps and there you go! Perfectly steamed vegetables every time. It comes with a time chart so you always know how long to steam things for.

It has two tiers so you can do multiple items at once. You can even steam eggs! There are little indentations where the eggs fit perfectly. You can steam up to 16 eggs, hard or soft boiled, and peeling them is easy. Well most of the time. I have had some eggs peel just perfectly and I've had others that took a little more time and patience. You can also stand up whole ears of corn in these holes and steam it as well. I haven't done this yet, but will this summer once the price of corn drops.

The product even states that you can steam fish and other meats. I have yet to try this, but am looking forward to it.

I have cooked the following in my steamer so far:
  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Hard Boiled Eggs
  • Soft Boiled Eggs
I look forward to steaming:
  • Fish
  • Chicken
  • Asparagus
  • Corn on the Cob
The price of this steamer is only $34 on Amazon. I believe it is worth every penny. If you decide you would like to add this steamer to your kitchen, please purchase it through the link above. It helps support this blog and my family. Thank you!

What have you steamed today? Let me know in the comments below.
