It's less what it includes than what it lacks that makes this Norpro vegetable steamer a cut above your average steamer insert. Without a bothersome center post, there is plenty of unobstructed room to steam entire heads of broccoli or cauliflower or full-length cobs of corn--and finished vegetables are easier to remove with a spoon or a spatula as denser veggies keep steaming. No need to slice carrots or pole beans beforehand--just plop them whole into the basket, which expands from 7 to 10 inches, depending on the size of the pot you set it in. The three-pronged base provides stability equal to models with center posts, but instead of one central handle there are two ring-style side handles. This is another improvement, as you don't need to reach into the middle of the steaming-hot food to remove the basket, and using the side handles supports the basket's shape rather than allowing its "petals" to pop open flat upon lifting.

Review
America's inland seas called the Great Lakes have been plied by all manner of vessels, but none more iconic that the huge steam powered freighters. Once numbered in the hundreds and the subject of both folklore and song, they have dwindled down to a last remaining twenty by the end of the 2008 shipping season. Ranging from the St. Mary's Challenger build in 1906 and representing more than one hundred years of service, to the Canadian Leader, built in 1967, these great nautical vessels are beginning to pass from the scene. That's why Twilight Of The Great Lakes Steamer; is a compendium of black-and-white photos and descriptive histories in terms of their previous and current operations of this class of ship is so impressive and appreciated.
