Steam fruits or vegetables that need to be peeled before canning, such as peaches, tomatoes, or beets. They can be peeled much easier if you steam them for a few minutes first.
Steam meats, fish, and poultry. Steamed meats are very tender. A rich broth will collect in the juice kettle that can be used for gravies and soups. Pot roasts, corned beef and other meats that are normally braised can be steamed. You can also steam chicken and other fowl with beautiful results. Add carrots, potatoes, broccoli, or cauliflower to the food basket ½ hour before meat is done. Do not salt the meat while it is steaming.
