Lazy mum must have number 1 - Steamer

Can't remember what prompted me to buy a steamer some years ago.
It was to me the trademark of the pasar malam sweet corn seller, but now it is the indispensable item in my kitchen.

I have yet to try steaming vegetable successfully, but most simple (yet delicious!) chicken and fish dishes can be done inside within half an hour while you go round the house doing chore or out of the house running errand.

There are many brands in the market, but from my survey, they all serve the same purpose - STEAM!

Deng xiaoping said "黑猫白猫,只要能抓老鼠的就是好猫。“ The Lazy Mum says: "Tecno (cheapo!) or Tefal  (the rich cousin), 只要能steam, 就是好steamer."

There is no guarantee that a 'branded' one can steam better. They all do one thing - provide heat to convert liquid water to steam so the steam can cook the food. (This is the science teacher's interpretation of how the steamer work. Expect more of this to come because the Lazy Mum is also a science teacher.)
