Steamed root crops?

I set 4 potatoes, a Golden Globe Turnip and a Detroit Dark Red beet from our 'root cellar' in the steamer basket to show how they fit for this photo. Since I was not actually going to cook them, they are not washed. The basket is about 8.25 inches in diameter. The two 'bails' or handles fold down while cooking, but should be easy to raise with a fork so you can lift the basket from the pressure cooker.
