For us, summer means lighter meals and spending less time in the kitchen.  And what better choice than the Presto 06003 Cooker & Steamer for making light, healthy meals!  Trust us – once you’ve made dinner with this marvelous cooker, you’ll never look back.

The Presto 06003 Cooker & Steamer is made from heavy cast aluminum which heats evenly and resists warping.  Even better, the deluxe nonstick finish ensures easy cleaning.  And once the heat control is removed, the entire unit is submersible, which will make clean-up even easier.  That should certainly gladden the heart of anyone you assign the task of cleaning the kitchen!  Since this cooker has a capacity of 1.5 gallons, you can fix almost anything in it and you won’t be limited in recipe selection when you’re feeling creative.  This marvel comes with a tempered glass cover and a basket to make the cooking even easier.

As summer approaches, we’re dreaming of our favorite steamed fish recipes.  Decisions, decisions – which do we make first?  Chinese style, perhaps, with just a little ginger and scallion.  Or will we choose Indian style, wrapped in banana leaves and flavored with coconut and green chili?  Why do we obsess so?  Because for us, steamed fish has the most delicate and tender flesh possible.  You can’t get that result with any other method of cooking.

But don’t forget the steamed vegetables that can be made in this!  One of our favorite dishes is a mix of steamed cauliflower, carrots and peas.  Add a little olive oil, fresh herbs and a splash of lemon or lime juice and you have a sensational dish!  Or broccoli, green beans and red pepper, lightly steamed and added to pasta for a quick and deliciously nutritious meal.  Yum!
