Lipstick Lifestyle

It used to be that when we heard the word “steam” a vision of Dr. Mark Sloan (a.k.a. “McSteamy”), from Grey’s Anatomy, would permeate our mind. You have to admit he is pretty darn delicious. But, he isn’t as delicious as the meal we made in our Breville Health Smart Food Steamer last night - scallops, asparagus and wild rice - all cooked to perfection.

Breville’s three stackable steamer baskets provide maximum cooking versatility, letting you prepare an entire meal at once, without losing any of the vitamins or nutrients from the food. Did you know that boiling your vegetables reduces their vitamin C content by 70 per cent but steaming them reduces it by only 40 per cent.

In addition to being an asset to our healthy lifestyle, we love its sleek stainless steel design and appreciate the easy to read LCD screen. To top it off, the warming function is just what we need. It automatically activates after steaming is complete and keeps food at the correct temperature for up to one hour.

Now our word association is with tasty food rather than “tasty” actors.
