Do people not use pressure cookers anymore? Stuff all the veg in there?
Do you think steamers will go the same way as a pressure cooker, or some other design will emerge? A vacuum steamer? (c)
My automatic egg boiling steamer died, because of the rust on the heater, just add a few drops of measured water, and the machine did the rest, until the timer buzzed. Eggs boiled just as you like them.
20 minutes boiling sounds extreme! For best taste, use mineral water, a touch of rock salt, keep the lid on for the steaming effect, 7 minutes.
