is coming from, so I use a stainless pot with little holes at the bottom which sits on a saucepan.

Never understood the prejudices against microwaves for cooking vegetables as all experimental data supports it being good.
If you do want to try actual steaming, try using a decent sized saucepan and a stainless steel seive or colander to hold the veg, with a lid to reduce steam loss.
This keeps the veg separated from the water & you can just remove the seive when your veg is done & serve (or to cool it quickly under a tap if you are blanching).
Cheaper than buying a dedicated steamer, or a good way to see if you will actually need/use one.

Good quality new potatoes are surprisingly excellent when microwaved, keeping a really nice texture, as well as all their flavour.
Otherwise a seive.
Don't have a microwave but they're fine.
usually only about £20 or so, last a couple of years then just get another
I cook almost everything in them, chicken turkey salmon from raw from frozen, rice, veggies whatever
if you like veggies super soft just top the water up and give a little longer, I couldn't live without my steamer, but I could easily live with that and no other cooking method
We have aluminum ones that sit on top of a saucepan, probably 40+ years old. One is ex military stamped

Good for doing two Christmas puds on one ring.
Thought to myself; "that's not gonna get many subscriptions"
