• There are electronic vegetable steamers that rely on an electronic hot plate to boil water to create steam. These appliances have built in timers that can tell you when food is cooked. This type is perfect when you don’t want to spend time monitoring steaming food. You can do other things in the kitchen as the food is being steamed like making side dishes, setting the table and entertaining guests.
