A steamer is the device used to cook boiled food like rice and noodles. In other words, a steamer is an appliance which cooks through steam. Though it is a device which cooks by steam, it should not be confused with cooker. Steamers are better than cooker in a number of ways. Though the variety of foods which can be prepared using a steamer are less than a cooker, still the method and the safety measurements make a steamer safe for use even for 10-15 year old.
The method is easy. The food is best cooked with boiled water. The boiled water in the steamer produces steam which carries the heat into the rice or any other food poured in the steamer. This steam boils the food making it delicious to savor. The steamers have a lid through which extra steam passes out, making enough space for the food to be cooked in an appropriate manner.

Cooking food through steam is a good thing - it is more healthy and nutritious as few minerals and vitamins are wasted in such a manner. The most important vitamin that is Vitamin C and mineral Folic Acid which is otherwise wasted away is easily retained when the food is cooked through steam.
Whereas most of the Western and European food is prepared by boiling them, in India the food is more fried and is spicy. By this method, most essential vitamins are lost in the process of cooking. To avoid loosing minerals and vitamins in this manner, one can first boil the food and then fry it later on. The taste would remain intact by this method also.
Steamers in the market come in different sizes ranging from 1litre to 5 liters. Some of the top Indian Companies produce them like Philips, LG, Inalsa and BAJAJ are the major producers and distributors of Steamers. Ranging between Rs 1000/- to Rs5000/-, these are easily available in the market.

Cuisinart DLC-1BCH Mini-Prep Processor, Black Chrome Overview
Cuisinart continues to outshine the competition! The lustrous finish of the new Black Chrome Series is reminiscent of rich, dark, liquid silver. It's unique, elegant, and perfect way to dress up even the most sophisticated kitchens.Cuisinart DLC-1BCH Mini-Prep Processor, Black Chrome Specifications
The Cuisinart Mini-Prep food processor stands 8 inches tall and just over 4 inches wide, but don't let the size fool you. The base houses a motor so powerful that you need to stabilize it with one hand when using the high setting to whip up a strawberry-banana smoothie for one in less than a minute. The clear plastic prep bowl locks into place with a simple twist, while the blades can be set sharp side up for chopping onions or grating Parmesan cheese, or turned blunt side up for making walnut pesto or whipping up chocolate frosting. The set includes a spatula and a cleaning brush to remove coffee grounds. For best results, cut ingredients into small, even pieces--about 1/2-inch square or so works well. In general, use the sharp-edge approach for low speed and the blunt side of the blades for high speed. If you need to run the motor for longer than one minute, pause and begin again. The bowl, cover, and blade assembly can all be run through the dishwasher, but watch your fingers when dissembling the machine, as the blades are extremely sharp. --Irene Svete
