How do you use a food steamer for vegetables..... ?

Steamers are brill. Been using mine for years. Chop veg up as if you're going to boil and then put in steamer for similar length of time. Eg. Chop up a carrot, put in steamer for 20 mins. Done! Rice can be done in a plastic pot inside steamer too. Put rice in pot of some sort, add water to rice to cover it, turn on steamer for 40 mins, perfect rice!
