Microwave steaming

[IncyWincySpider]

I picked up a cheapy microwave steamer last week and we've used it every since then for cooking veg.
I was wondering if things are as good steamed this way as they would be using a traditional steamer or does microwaving somehow destroy more nutrients? Anyone know?

Yes! And even more so I find!

I love using my microwave steamer, especially for cooking rice. It cooks it perfectly! Much better than cooking rice conventially.

I also use it mostly for cooking veg. And pasta.
