can you steam different foods at the same time or only one type at a time?

I guess depending on the type of food and the amount, you could steal different things at once. The flavors would probably merge though. There aren't any compartments to separate the items.

The booklet comes with a list of different water amounts for each food, but if you didn't mind draining off any excess water at the end, I don't see why you couldn't. I haven't tried it yet myself, but I wouldn't think twice about giving it a go. I am assuming that you'll blend them all together - if you wanted to steam both apples and green beans for different dishes at the same time, that wouldn't really work.

I combine them. For example today my baby got (steamed and pureed together): sweet potatoes+ spinach apples + raspberries carrots+ broccoli+ cream cheeses( not steamed but pureed when veggies were ready)

Yes, it can cook it like you are doing it on a stovetop since it has the brown/sauté mode, or you can steam it.

That depends on a couple of things...how much each member will eat and the type of vegetable you are steaming. Having said that, the steamer will hold an ample amount. We like to steam broccoli, green beans, cauliflower, potatoes, peas and the like. Some obviously take up more room than others. But we always seem to have enough for our meals. Hope this helps. By the way, it's great for eggs. I steam mine rather than boil them. I do a dozen at a time - takes about 17 - 18 minutes depending on how hard you like them.

I have not tried steaming any meat or fish. I use it for my veggies. I also do not use spices but I imagine you can sprinkle on item carefully and if it is not enough, add more when you eat them.

no you can use one at a time. but if you both at the same time it doesn't cut down on the efficient.

The faster speed does puree the food to a smoother texture, while the other leave some chunks in it but it all depends on how long you keep the knob turned. I didnt cut anything if i steamed it first, if i didnt steam then yes i chopped. It will puree ANYTHING

There are 2. I love mine. If you steam something like Chinese buns use parchment paper to prevent sticking and cut slits in it w/a sharp knife. It won't matter if you steam veggies.

It's a Steam Canner, if you use it with can, yes you can steam can your vegetables. It's super easy Steam Canner.

I have never tried, but I would think you could just put the veggies in the top part, water in the bottom part and it should steam them very well. I used mine for meat mostly. I also put a little seasoning in the water.

I haven't tried but based on your ability to set the temperature as low as 150 I can't see why touch couldn't if you're looking to cook whatever it is during the same process. set shorter time at lower temp, no steam and check it after 5 minutes etc. Then reset for normal cooking

Separately no but they show recipes with veggies in rice during cooking. Steaming is so simple you could do that in pot with basket. This rice cooker excels at rice but will steam many ways too just not separately.

I am not sure but I know you can steam Hot Dogs and just about any kind of Sausage.

I think I see where he's coming from - this would allow steaming different foods simultaneously and add to the available space for foods. I'm pretty new at this steaming but I've not herd of any such slotted piece. Chek with a metal worker to fabricate one.

Problem is that sauces or animal fat not real compatible with steaming and can leave gummy residue on some parts which are Spain to cleN- so unless it is very lean as breast white meat w/no skin would not. Potstickers are splendid ( be sure and line bottom of compartment with slits in parchment paper or stick to plastic), and shrimp and fresh veggies and lean fish w/o skin. Good luck!

Don't know never done it. If you are trying to steam vegetables put the water in the bottom and veggies in basket and set appropriate program.

As Nan G stated, I too would not use in direct contact with Foods. However, if you have in mind a Double Boiler type of use, it would definately hold one pot placed inside of another pot, "Off the Bottom", and therefore allow a "steam" type of cooking in the Interior Pot.

Just leave the food in the same time as any other steamerno instructions come with it
