I’m in love with my Orka Steamer!

Okay, so I was fortunate enough to be given an Orka Gourmet 27-Ounce Round Steamer, Raspberry. I love veggies, but sometimes cooking them is such a pain. With the steamer I can steam my food in the MICROWAVE (I know, I know…but when you have alot going on, sometimes the ease outweighs the negatives) and have dinner in under 10 minutes (usually). Steaming is super-healthy, and allows veggies to keep their nutrients, unlike baking, broiling or stir-frying, where you lose alot of nutrients in the cooking process. I also love that steaming aligns itself so seamlessly with vegan life. I can toss some veggies, rice and seitan or tofu in my steamer, add some sauce and toss the whole thing in the microwave (this is actually my plan for dinner tonight!)…in about 5-7 minutes (depending on what I’m cooking), I have a complete dinner that I can transfer to my plate and devour! How awesome is that?! I also absolutely adore the fact that the Orka Gourmet 27-Ounce Round Steamer, Raspberry is oven and dishwasher safe! It comes in a variety of colors, styles and sizes, so it would work if you have a large family or if you’re only cooking for 1 or 2 (kinda like me!). If you don’t have one, GET ONE!! You will love it, and it will help you reduce your fat intake, too (you don’t need to add fat when you’re steaming! How awesome!!)!
