   the best way to steam vegetables is put them in a glass container with a little water in the bottom and cover it with saran wrap or something like that and poke some holes then microwave it for 3-4 minutes, longer if you're doing for more than one person. then you take them out and thats it. people think you need to buy some fancy rice cooker with a tray to steam vegetables which is horse shit from the rice cooker industry who are in bed with big oil/big pharma/geourge bush

   The microwaves are cooking it long before the steam does so it's not truly steamed as a whole.

   I have a colander that sits down in a large pot halfway. I put a little water in the bottom of the pot, put my veggies in the colander, boil it less than 10 mins, and done. Asparagus is good this way too!

   Yep this is what I do. Except I have a steamer for the microwave. I put the vegetables in and add all the seasonings. Put some lime in the water and it gives everything a perfect coating, so fucking good and crisp. Perfect vegetables literally every single time. I don't understand why people boil their broccoli or waste time with stoves. The longer your vegetables are exposed to the water/steam, the less crisp they will be.
   
   I have to say though, rice cookers do a really good job. That's why Asians use them. It turns out more firm than just doing it in a pot since the rice isn't soaking in water. There are some that are basically just like a crockpot for rice though. Those are shit.
