can I steam shrimp in both bowls at once

U can steam anything in either bowl. Last night I steamed Brussell Sprouts in the bottom and Fennel in the top. Really just a versatile machine that was really worth the price!

I haven't done it, but don't see why you couldn't. I''ve done different vegetables before.Think you would probably enjoy the Oster. I use mine a lot!Hope this helps.

yes，but I suggest you'd better seal the holes on the lid first, using tapes or something else.

I believe the answer is yes. I have not steamed shrimp but I have used this almost daily and filled both bowls with the same ingredients making double portions and each bowl the tenderness and cooking time is the same.

Yes you can steam in both bowls at the same time. I do it all the time especially when I am preparing two different vegetables, so it should work just the same for shrimp.

Hi,Yes, you can do both. Since vegetables only take a few minutes to steam, it is recommended to place the steamer with vegetables into the pot near the end of the rice cooking cycle. If you place the vegetables to steam in the pot for the whole rice cooking cycle, the vegetables will be overcooked. You have to be always careful of the escaping steam when you open the lid.

Yes you sure can, as a matter of fact I use both together. Don't soak the chips just use dry.

Yes this will make more than enough rice for 2 people. Not sure about the food steamer, I would not think you could do them at the same time as it would probably be different settings and times for different types of foods. Otherwise if steaming veggies they would get mushy.

I haven't tried that yet. You might wanna soak the breans first coz they might take too much time to cook.

Sure. We do that all the time. Shrimp in the top and corn, potatoes, onions etc in the bottom for a low country boil. We love it. Also use it as a turkey fryer without baskets.

Turn on the oven to the temp. you're using for your main course. Put a little water in the upper pan, set in the insert (with holes) in the upper pan and set your veggies--or whatever you want to steam--on the insert--makeing sure some water remains while you're steaming. It's a great way to fix an entire meal at the same time, using very little energy.

Yes you can do as described but it isn't really steaming but rather boiling the veggies. The legs on this unit are nubs and not long enough to lift veggies put of water. A steam basket would be more appropriate. There is one made of stainless with 1" legs built to open (blossom like a flower) to fit the vessel being used to cook with. BTW it doesn't take a few inches to steam veggies for most families. The less water used the faster the water will create steam.

The cooking surface is quite adequate. Recently, Super Bowl Sunday we were having a party and I had two very large pots, one 20 quart and one 25 quart on the burners together and nom problem, one was steaming potatoes and corn on the cob, and the other was boiling shrimp. Kay Lowery

I would think it could. I've steamed shrimp in it, but that doesn't take any time at all. I have boiled water, put the colander in full of shrimp and let it boil for about a minute in the steam. Turned off the heat and let sit - the shrimp are gentely steamed and are geat. I don't know if cooking pasta in it would work, but I don't see why not. Good luck.

It doesn`t go in the the other pot but just on the top of it to steam vegetables (it goes in about half a inch)...Maybe you could do steamed rice but i have no idea..?

It does say in the manual (last page I think) that you have to purchase a separate steamer bowl to steal veggies.Page 12 "1. To steam veggies or fish, place 2 to 4 cups of water in VitaClay, then place veggies inside a steam tray or bowl; press "Slow cooking" key, followed by pressing "minute" key for 30 minutes, continue pressing "Hour" key until "0" hour, press "Start/Cancel" key to start steam. "

Absolutely. That is actually the intended use. The steamer insert is for vegetables or fish you might want to steam while cooking rice or another grain below.

I've only cooked pasta in this pot. You can cook them together, but you will have to see if the vegetable texture is what you like. Steaming vegetables is different than cooking them. They are crisper if you steam them.

Separately no but they show recipes with veggies in rice during cooking. Steaming is so simple you could do that in pot with basket. This rice cooker excels at rice but will steam many ways too just not separately.

Yes, you place in another bowl. Deep a bough to bring water level up to half way up this steamer. I used a Pyrex glass bowl with larger diameter and it work perfectly.

Yes I frequently mix fresh/canned veggies with my rice. I've never tried steaming though.
