What other vegetables can I prepare in the asparagus steamer?
Many vegetables such as corn are also ideal for cooking in the asparagus
steamer. Just fill the bottom of the pot with approximately 1 inch of water
(make sure the vegetables aren't sitting in water), bring to a rapid boil then
insert basket filled with corn. Cover and steam for 10 minutes or until corn is
tender crisp.
MULTIPOT BASICS:
Your new multipot certainly lives up to its name. The multiple inserts convert
the multipot into a pasta pot with a built in strainer, a vegetable steamer with
tray, or simply as a large stockpot. Soups, stews, fresh vegetables and pasta
are all prepared with ease in this versatile and essential piece of cookware.
Tip: Using Both the Steamer and Pasta Basket Inserts in the
Multipot at once
There are many ways to cook an entire meal all at once in your Multipot. For
instance, try steaming fresh clams, mussels, crab or lobster in the lower
insert while at the same time steaming fresh vegetables in the top insert.

Garlic Crab Legs & Steamed Corn
3 1/2 pounds Alaskan king crab legs with shell
6 ears fresh corn
1 1/2 cups butter
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning TM, or to taste
Directions:
Bring a large amount of water to boil inside the Multipot. Place crab legs in
the large steamer basket and add to the boiling water. At the same time,
add the corn to the vegetable insert. Place inside the Multipot and cover
with lid. Boil the crab legs until they are opaque and flaky. The crab may
finish cooking before the corn, check the corn and crab every 5 minutes to
see if they are finished cooking. When finished cooking, drain well.
In a large saucepan, melt butter or margarine, garlic, red pepper, and Old
Bay™ seasoning. Stir in the crab and corn, and saute them for 5 to 10
minutes.
