2 Healthy steaming
WHAT IS COOKING WITH
STEAM ALL ABOUT?
Slow cooking introduces a new dimension of ideally
cooked food to your kitchen. Due to extended cooking,
the meat is tenderer while still juicy and nutritious. It can
be cooked along with vegetables in the bottom non-
perforated tray covered with a lid.
Steam cooking is fast, simple, and
healthy as it involves only a small amount
of water which boils in contact with hot air
and evaporates into steam, and requires
no extra fat. During the cooking process,
food is not in direct contact with boiling
water and therefore won’t overcook.
Rather, it will retain the precious vitamins,
nutrients, natural colour, softness,
juiciness, and full flavour.
Steam Tower is also an excellent baking accessory. The
bottom tray can easily be used as a convenient baking tray
to make deliciously crunchy dishes. Moreover, the lid can
also be used a shallow baking tray when making a small
amount of food, such as pizza or pastry.
Slow cooking
Baking
In China, the steam cooking method has been around
for thousand years. Traditionally, food – especially
rice – was steamed in simple bamboo steaming
baskets. Today, steam cooking is made easy by
state-of-the-art home appliances. The paramount
advantage of the Steam Tower is that the perforated
trays allow even circulation of the cloud of steam.
This can
turn any standard oven into a steam oven
and allow you to enjoy as you cook healthy meals.
