You don’t want the water to go up over the food, since it will boil your meal instead of steaming it. If the water comes up over the trivet, scoop a bit of it out to lower the level down below the top of the trivet. Root vegetables take longer to steam than green veggies. Similarly, seafood also steams pretty quickly. For instance, you might put potatoes on the bottom, carrots in the middle, and broccoli on top....

American Kennel Club’s (AKC) chief veterinary officer, Dr. Jerry Klein, says that dogs gain weight the same way as their owners—by excessive eating and exercising too little. “Usually this can be contributed to being fed too many treats, table scraps, and too much food overall, and little exercise,” he tells Newsweek. “Obesity is the most common preventable disease in dogs. “About 25 percent of the canine population is obese, with nearly half of dogs ages 5 to 11 years old being over their ideal weight....
