I also got it at a thrift store and at first did not know what it was. I used it so the turkey breast would not be in contact with the cooking juices. Usually I use it under the six quart stockpot like a trivet. This is a necessity when using a Sun Oven without the leveling tray. You cannot place anything directly on the bottom of the oven or there will be a hotspot and the food would burn. A small trivet, or the steamer insert works perfectly. Yesterday, since I was using the steamer in the pot, I improvised and used the canning jar lids to lift the pot. I think to use the insert as a steaming basket you would put it 'upside down' inside the pot, which is in fact how I used it yesterday.Solar Oven Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222583845217303648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498582857153197704.post-4415463732528337682009-09-28T12:03:47.421-07:002009-09-28T12:03:47.421-07:00How is the steamer insert used?

It wouldn't keep things off the bottom (since it's flat) so if you put water in, then that, the food inside would be in the water. So how do you use it??? I thought it was for blanching, but the holes were so big I couldn't use it for broccoli or beans (the two items I blanch for freezing).<br /><br />And what were the rings for?AnnMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05505967972774910106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498582857153197704.post-2722855245583915082009-09-28T11:12:32.452-07:002009-09-28T11:12:32.452-07:00I'm new to the blog, but wanted you to know I&...I'm new to the blog, but wanted you to know I'm impressed and inspired. I bought a solar oven in March and have not used it as often as I was hoping, but with some encouragement and ideas from your blog I'm going to start using it more often.
