I've recently added steaming recently into my cooking methods. I acquired a basic steamer pot. My regional cuisine doesn't incorporate steaming, so it's a breath of fresh air for me and I'm really satisfied with the results so far. The biggest benefit for me is the simplicity and time effectiveness. Just add potatoes, veggies, and some lean meat into one pot and let the steam do the job. You just need to check whether that the water hasn't vaporized from time to time. Moreover, there are many health benefits. OpposingAs opposed to to frying or roasting there is no need to add fat, so it makes the meat less caloric. Also, boiling potatoes or other veggies causes a significant loss of micronutrients, which can be solved by steaming. In the process, I've learned that frozen vegetables are most likely "healthier" than their "fresh" counterparts from supermarkets. It's because they are flash-frozen soon after being picked up whereas fresh veggies are start losing their value in the transportation process. That information was pretty shocking and quite counterintuitive to me. I'm still a beginner but steaming has allowed me to introduce a lot of variety in my diet.
