How do you use a steamer basket?
It is quite simple to use a steamer basket for the preparing of dishes. All you have to do is put water in a pan to the kook and place the ingredients in the steamer basket on top.

This allows enough steam to build up and your piece of fish or chicken will become nice and tender. Vegetables will also cook nicely and retain all their vitamins!
Tip: Use baking paper to prevent your ingredients from sticking to the basket. Banana leaf is also a good option. You can make nice packets from this and it is very healthy!
