Any veggie in the store, asparagus is great. Look at it while doing the chore. The color of it as it cooks is the best indicator of doneness but I can't be your eyeballs. It is just a diminution of the brightness of the "greenness" of the spears.

I love my steamer
I steam shrimp and lobster tails weekly
shrimp = i de-peel, wash under water, then season it up with some tonys and steam for 10 minutes
I love shrimp this way... you can get your Bubba on and make all sorts of shrimp dishes this way.
I have done chicken once and i over cooked it. I need to give a try again soon. Chicken can be excellent if you dont overcook
all veggies are great in the steamer...

My mom got a steamer for Christmas and uses it constantly. I didn't know putting water and a steamer basket in a pot was so difficult but it has opened up a new world for her.
Squash, zucchini, asparagus, broccoli....you name it.

Ribeye...after you microwave it.
Kidding. Asparagus would be my choice.

Asparagus, and I like steaming broccoli and then spritzing some olive oil on it and putting parmesan cheese on top. Butter works even better.

God's gift to steamers: Fresh corn on the cob.
Let's hope for more rain this season.

nothing is good steamed
everything is better either roasted or grilled

Absolutely agree with this. I'm on a roasted Brussels sprouts kick right now.
ETA: Steaming is fine for a quick utilitarian meal.

Snap beans (green beans for those of you who don't speak country) are surprisingly good.

Homemade dumplings (the asian kind, not the chicken-n kind) are damn good steamed. They're fun to make from scratch, too. Google jaozi for recipes. I like 'em filled with pork, ginger, garlic, and chives.

LOL. It is a matter of the time spent at a stove, and the quantities I have dealt with making things. I know how to take fifty pounds of veal bones and veggies to make demi-glace. There is a reason I don't give recipes on here, they really don't compute in my head it is all in the eyes. A normal serving for dinner at my house was for ten people at the table at the least. I am the go to cook for Thanksgiving at the meal for fifty.
