Can you put a cookie sheet in a convection oven?

The answer is yes. Steaming spaghetti is really easy, and the pasta is just as delicious as what it would be if boiled. However, your results will be much better if you use fresh pasta. Fresh pasta is not as hard or dried out as normal pasta, and will not need to absorb as much water.

You can steam a wide variety of foods, including vegetables, chicken, and shellfish. For added flavor, steam food on a bed of herbs, scallions, lemon slices, or greens. Leafy greens — such as spinach or mustard greens — and shellfish, such as mussels and clams, are terrific possibilities for steaming.
