MicroSteamer - Ginger Shallot Snapper with Vegetables and Rice

Tonight I am excited because I just used a BRAND NEW piece of Tupperware, never before released and it has just amazed me!!!!!

Tupperware have just released the MicroSteamer!!!

Tupperware MicroSteamer www.tupperware.com.au

Now a very quick rundown of the product, I'm no longer a demonstrator so can't give you all of the facts but basically it is one of the first microwavable items in the world which contains metal. The base is made out of the same material as the Tupperwave Stack Cooker and that is where you put the water. The you have a deep steaming dish which sits in that, it is metal encased in very special tupperware plastic which stops and microwaves from getting inside. Then it has a shallow steaming dish which sits on top of the deep one and then a special lid on top.

I am pretty sure this is one of the only products out there which allows super fast true steaming in the microwave!

Tonight I tested out the MicroSteamer by making some very yummy ginger shallot steamed fish with steamed vegies and rice. I am proud to say that everything I used was made from Tupperware (yes I am a tuppaholic and own too much tupperware to fit in my cupboards) and goes into the dishwasher for easy cleaning.

Now fish may not be your thing so do not stress, when you get the Tupperware MicroSteamer it comes with a fantastic recipe book... I cannot wait to make some vegetable dumplings!!!

Recipe Book that comes for free when you purchase

I challenge you to all get creative in the kitchen, it is a great way to switch off and a fantastic way to share love with all of those around you.

If you are interested in purchasing any Tupperware products or hosting your own get together to get loads of free stuff, please get in contact with me because I know an amazing demonstrator!!

I highly recommend the Tupperware MicroSteamer but if you don't have one, you could modify the recipe and steam conventionally on the stove or in an electrival rice cooker if it has steaming trays.

Enjoy & I look forward to your feedback!
