Rice Cooker . . . or Food Steamer?
Everyone is more concerned about health these days and that preserving of nutrients in food, particularly vegetables, is key.
The largest plus to using a food steamer rather than a rice cooker is its versatility. The standard food steamer lets you cook a complete meal from, meat to vegetables to rice all at the same time. Most food steamers have tiers so you can cook more than one type of food at the same time, and each with their own compartment and herbs. You can successfully cook meats, rice and vegetables preserving both flavor and nutrients in a food steamer. Using a food steamer has a big advantage in versatility. Food steamers come with timers and you can enjoy your meal all ready to go when you come home from that hard day of work. As you consider whether you need a Rice Cooker or Food Steamer, here are some selections to consider:
