Not wanting to fall out over whether to steam but I think our steamer that sits on ad is heated by the hob is a space saver. For three of us, you can get suitable portions of a couple of things in the steaming bit and maybe boil a few spuds in the bottom. It was some Scandinavian brand thing a brother bought for my my mother and is still good at least 20 years on.

We did also get one with its own heater and that for a small kitchen like ours can be a bit of a problem. Cooks things nicely but I feel you might be aware of the "where do I store another gadget", "how do I make space on the worktop", even sometimes "where I can plug it in" issues... I don't think Lakeland (or whoever) knows our own workspace..
