We steam everything, including the spuds, and have done for years. Though I saw a TV programme the other night (haven't a clue what it was called or the channel as I just caught the last 20 minutes or so round at my daughter's) and there were people on there who were obsessed with not cooking anything at all...ever. They all had those weird smiles on their faces, you know the ones, as if they'd just found religion and couldn't wait to tell everyone. What's all that about? I always thought that we needed to cook most of our foods as we don't have the enzymes required to breakdown the cellulose cell walls of plant stuffs. Sorry, completely off topic, I'll shut up now.
