I bought this vegi steamer on target.com & don't know how to use it.
*See link:http://www.target.com/Welco-Stainless-Vegetable-Cooker-Steamer/dp/B0002P11WY/sr=1-18/qid=1225344450/ref=sr_1_18/601-9802506-9520934?ie=UTF8&index=target&field-browse=1038578&rh=k%3Asteamer&page=1

It doesn't seem like it would work?

It is basically a long vertical pot, with a cage inside that holds the vegetables. Their is a space between the bottom of the pot & the bottom of the cage, there is only about a 1 inch gap.

I want to steam my vegetables, I was thinking the water would boil, steam would rise through my vegi's & steam them up. But with only room to fit 1 inch worth of water, wouldn't it evaporate before it ever steams up my vegetables?
 
This will absolutely work. Just don't put the heat up so high that the water will evaporate. and make sure to pot is covered tightly.
 
Hmmm. Thinking...What about an old fashioned bamboo steamer? Simple and easy to wash, less space.

Sits on top of your sauce pan, remember the adds?
