For many of us, the turn of the New Year means trying to shed the physical evidence of holiday season overindulgence. Steamers allow you to create healthy meals using one device – which means no more standing over an overcrowded hob.

They are also more energy efficient that using the hob, grill or oven, while steaming keeps more of the vitamins and nutrients in food than other cooking methods, including boiling, where nutrients leach away into the water.

Electric steaming means you don’t lose many nutrients, so it’s a far healthier option. For more information on features to look out for please visit our Russell Hobbs buying guide to steamers
