I've been eating a pretty strict vegan diet for the last couple of months.  Well, not totally strict to be honest, since I "cheat" most weekends.  But I pretty much stick to the diet during the week.  Problem is, most of my foods are cooked or boiled, so I wonder if I'm getting max nutrition.  One method I heard of is instead of boiling, rather to steam the veggies lightly for instance with a Tobi Steamer now only $119.98 at GetOrganized.
