I saw a Lekue Steamer in a Kitchen Store today. I had never heard of it before...It is for steaming foods (including meats) in a Microwave. It looked like a great way to cook small amounts of food like meat/fish & veggies together (which is what I mostly eat) quickly...so perfect for VSG people. Anyone here use this? What do you think of it? :-)

Just another unitasker gadget. You can steam your food in a dish with saran wrap over the top with a few holes poked.

You sound like an Alton Brown disciple.

I think it's a great idea but honestly I use a zip lock bag. I put meat in one veggies in another add a little water to each and close the bag (except about an inch, I leave that open to vent). Then I cook. It works great. A Tupperware bowl and lid left slightly open does the same thing. Just don't want you to spend a lot of money on something when you can get the same result for free.

So there is no one here who has actually used this steamer?

I didn't have this exact kind, but I had a similar microwave steamer a while back. I used it a lot for frozen broccoli, and it worked well for reheating leftovers. I tried to cook raw meat in it, and I never did manage to get chicken to cook all the way through, though I did have some luck with frozen fish fillets.
