Microwave with steaming option worth it?

Nice, happy steaming!

Yes. I have a Magimix (food processor only, w/o heating) and it makes it so much easier to prepare dressings using natural ingredients. Also, natural, homemade ice-cream.

LMAO I didnt realize modern induction hobs can set a timer. 

Thank god for my decision making freeze that I havent bought one of these expensive microwaves. You can just put a timer on your cooking pot with the 10 dollar klocker within and you can steam your veggies just as comfortably.

Cheers.

Btw, I just bought this two-layer steaming pot. It makes steaming large and diverse quantities of vegetables even easier. If you have the clockieren, you can even put it at the base and boom -- three-layer steaming.

It's handy, for instance, for broccoli, where you wanna steam the stalk much longer than the florets.
