Flavourful and rich in vitamins - cooking with the steam cooker
More and more people are prioritising a healthy lifestyle and diet. One method of preparing food particularly gently is steam cooking. A steam cooker is easy to integrate into your kitchen design and completes the look of your kitchen.
Cooking has a long tradition
Cooking food is nothing new: this method of preparing food was already being used in the Chinese tradition over 2000 years ago. No wonder, because steaming offers several advantages.
Advantages of a steam cooker
With a steam cooker, you can not only prepare meals quickly, but also cook in a health-conscious way. With steam cooking, the heat is distributed evenly and the steam envelops the ingredients. This means they are cooked slowly and gently. This preparation preserves the vitamins and minerals in the food. Not only that, but the food also tastes better: vegetables stay crispy and meat is nice and juicy. You can even put frozen food in the steamer.
How steam cooking works
To cook with steam, the ingredients are placed in an attachment. This is inserted into the appliance. There is a bowl of water under the steamer basket, which is brought to the boil at 100 degrees Celsius. During the steaming process, the steam rises and starts to cook the ingredients. With the help of a menu, you can set exactly which steam cooking programme you want to select.
