Glass Food Steamers

A question came to me this week regarding a glass steamer I had suggested back in 2013.

At the time it was the only glass steamer I could find and it was only available in Canada.

More recently, I could only find one glass option that didn’t have an other materials of concern.

Steaming is my preferred cooking method now for vegetables (along with roasting), but I don’t use a separate steamer. I just put about 1/4 inch of water in the bottom of a skillet and turn the heat on high. When the water is evaporated, the vegetables are perfect.
