How do you steam with a colander?
Online Answer
1. Fill a metal strainer or colander. Choose a saucepan that's wide enough to hold the metal strainer around the rim, and deep enough that the strainer doesn't touch the bottom. Add about an inch of water to the bottom of the pan, place the strainer over the pan, fill with veggies, and cook.
