Being a mum of two children under three I am always on the look out for ways of saving time in the kitchen. With the odd exception I always make all my meals from scratch and the majority of my meals are made in my slow cooker. However, if I haven’t found inspiration of what to cook and haven’t been prepared enough to set my slow cooker up, I often find myself wondering what I am going to cook and how I will find the time while looking after the boys!!
I was offered the opportunity recently to test out some Tupperware with a difference! Sistema KLIP IT Microwave is a range of containers that contain steamers making it easy – and fast! – to make healthy and nutritious steamed meals for your family.
And because these products have the klip it seals you know that they are durable and safe to handle.
So here is a quick Mummy Mishaps guide as to how to steam vegetables and some salmon.
Add a little amount of water to the bottom of the medium microwave steamer, beneath the colander being careful to ensure that the food will be sitting in the water. Then place your vegetables into the colander tray and cook for as long as needed. In the case of my baby vegetables 3 1/2 minutes
Seal the tub by pressing down the klip it tabs and open the air vent on the lid.
Then cook in the microwave for the designated time (my baby vegetables took 4 minutes and my salmon 8-9 minutes in my medium microwave plate)
and dinner is served
Another great feature about these tubs its that they are suitable for home freezing and can be placed straight into the microwaves and reheated in the tub itself!! Brilliant!
This video shows you everything you need to know about these fantastic time saving steamers
I was also sent a soup mug
Which can be used to heat drinks like soup, hot milk or noodles in the microwave which you can then use at home or take with you on the go due to its lid and large handle.
These items have proven to be a very handy addition to my kitchen and because they are microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe and stackable they are also a welcome addition!! Easy to store and I love the red colour!

In real life my hubby but in my fantasy life it has to David Baddiel
My hubby but I have a secret desire for Robbie Williams lol
Of course my husband but also gary barlow!
I love steamed veggies and sometimes it’s such a pain to get my steamer out of the cupboard so this is genius indeed! I want, I need!
Ohhh Gabriel Macht-he’s my flavour of the month this month!
Great idea, love it! Still a Tom Cruise fan me!
Thats a tough one – so many men! I think it would have to be Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimor at the same time! @esthermate
Ooh, plenty to choose from, but I’ll go for Colin Firth!
My love of my life my husband
It would have to be my postie…..shhhhh!
I’m going to assume you mean an unobtainable person? Then in that case I’m going to be sad and say Gavin Henson. I’ve got a little thing for him since seeing him on that Northern Exposure climbing/hiking programme last year.
Ooh I think it would have to be Gino D’acampo. He’s pretty tasty and he could rustle me up a lovely meal in that microwave steamer!
Other than my other half I would say Ashley Banjo 🙂
So many fantasy men to choose from … Hugh Jackman in his Wolverine costume (blades withdrawn!)
Other than myhusband I would have to say Gerrard Butler!!
Johnny Depp – just gets better looking the older he gets!!
I would like to get steamy with Blaine from Glee – he could sing songs to me all day with his melodic voice!
These look amazing. I think I would get steamy with Daniel Craig so he could leave me shaken not stirred 😉
ooohhhh Noel Edmonds have liked him since multi coloured swap shop days
My hubby.
What a question? Hubby or a celeb eh? Better say hubby.
Better say my husband, but George Clooney would certainly steam up my glasses too!
Would love to get steamy with Robbie Williams. But don’t think it will ever happen. So I will have to make steam with my hubby instead
hmmmmm quite fancy getting steamy with McSteamy from grey’s anatomy 🙂
The wonderful man in my life whom I don’t see enough off @MummyFever
OOOOH! I’d love to get steamy with my hubby! Is that boring? Oh well it is true! xxx
i’d like to get steamy with will.i.am just cos hes so cool he doesnt look like he COULD get steamy (i’d like to try) @mummylion
