Steamer - Recipe Ideas

[thetapeworm]

I went to a little Chinese street food stall last week and bought some really tasty (electrically rather than bamboo) steamed dumplings... then a few days later I bought the same steamer on impulse.

I didn't need a steamer, my wife has told me for years we don't need a steamer. She's right.

Now I have one.



Apart from cooking frozen Chinese delights and maybe some basics I'm not sure what to use it for in order to justify it, do any of you have one in regular service and what are your go-to recipes or items that benefit from being steamed?

Are there any good cook books / websites I should look for?

In hindsight I probably should have gone with the deep fat fryer she said I couldn't buy instead

Thanks everyone, some great suggestions here.
