You can totally steam food without a steamer — it’s super easy! 🌟 Here’s how:

🍲 DIY Steaming Methods:

1. Colander or sieve in a pot:

   • Place a metal colander or a fine-mesh sieve over a pot with a couple inches of boiling water.

   • Make sure the water doesn’t touch the food!

   • Cover with a lid (even if it doesn’t fit perfectly).

2. Plate and foil balls:

   • Put three small balls of aluminum foil at the bottom of a deep pan.

   • Set a heatproof plate on top of the foil.

   • Add your food to the plate, pour water into the bottom (below the plate), and cover with a lid.

3. Microwave steaming:

   • Place food in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water.

   • Cover with a microwave-safe lid or plate (leave a little gap for steam to escape) and microwave until tender.

4. Bamboo basket over a wok or pot:

   • If you have a bamboo steamer, you can place it over a pot or wok with simmering water.
