Steamer
What is a steamer?
A steamer attaches to the top of your saucepan and allows you to steam food using boiling water. Steaming is a healthy way to prep food as it doesn’t require any oil. Steaming is also quick, so the food retains more vitamins and minerals unlike some other cooking methods.
Most steamers will fit a range of saucepans. Check the size of your pots before you buy a steamer to make sure it’ll fit with your cookware. Steamers also tend to have two handles, making it easier to carry them. You can leave the boiling water to cool before washing up, which reduces the risk of injury.
It is useful if you find it difficult to stand for a long time or, have fatigue, pain, or arm weakness. It's also ideal if you have a hand tremor, a weak grip, limited dexterity, or you are one-handed.
