Frugal Friday Tips!

It's Frugal Friday!
If you would like some frugal tips click on the icon above. It will take you to a website dedicated to Frugal Tips. From time to time I will post some tips of my own.
Here's my Frugal Friday Tip!
Here's a way to save water, dirty pans and maybe even some time while cooking.
If you plan to have rice and a steamed vegetable in the same meal, use a pan that a steamer can fit on top of. (my Revereware steamer is made to fit on top of a sauce pan with a regular pot lid). Start your rice water and throw in the rice when the water starts to boil. Put your frozen or fresh vegetable in the steamer with a lid on it and put the steamer on top of the rice pan. Set your timer. You have your rice and vegetable all cooked at the same time and saved yourself some water. What's more, you are using only one burner for two entres cutting down on the amount of electricity you have to use.
