Veggie steamer ftw! Or a wire rack that fits inside the pot, like one for drying cookies, or if you are all fancy and have a canning pot, there should be a rack that came with it.

Be very careful; it is REALLY hot, and you have to remember to tighten and loosen the ring around the cap at the proper times- loose while it is in the hot water bath, tight while you are agitating it, and don't shake it too hard.
