I bought this after a fellow dorm student showed me how to use his steamer of another brand. I chose this one because of the design and the removable top shelf that allows you to cook larger items. I can get 2 chicken breast (boneless skinless) chicken breast for $3.00, a bag of baby carrots for $1.25 and a small bag of small red potatoes for $1.50.
I put the chicken in a bag or container and pour in my spices (I use Mrs. Dash because it's salt free and so flavorful) and mix it up until the chicken is coated. I let the chicken sit sometimes to soak up the spices better (usually overnight) but spicing before steaming is still great. I will put one breast in the middle of the bottom tier, surround it with carrots. I put the other breast on the top tier, surround it with red potatoes cut into quarters (leaving them whole works, but i like them cut to add seasoning) and in 25 minutes me and another person are having an awesome healthy meal.
Steaming is more effective at retaining the vitamins in your fruits and vegetables. I am telling you straight up, if you want to lose weight, buy this steamer, and try my recipe above. its a salt free dish that has so much natural flavorful hearty goodness that will not leave you hungry trust me.ive lost 30 lbs since august 2010 (its almost Halloween 2010) and most of my dinners have been similar to the above recipe, no salt, no butter or margarine, just natural spices and foods cooked using a natural, nutrient retention process.
