Vegetable Steamer
Steaming or boiling veggies is healthier than a lot of other cooking methods. Not only does the simple swap help the produce preserve its natural flavors and colors, but it also keeps the nutrients and some of the antioxidants intact.
Cooking vegetables and other foods in a standalone steamer also helps free up stovetop space, so all the components of your meal can all be ready at the same time.
