USING A STEAMER BASKET IS EASY

Steaming has many benefits. You’ll avoid carcinogens that are often generated when frying and grilling, and you don’t have to use any fats or oils for cooking. When steamed, food retains nutrients that can easily dissolve into the water when boiled. Cooking with steam is also fast, saving time and energy.

If you’re not yet familiar with using a steamer basket, see how easy it is.

1. Bring water to a boil in a pot or frying pan.
2. Place a sheet of parchment paper with holes in it onto the bottom of the steamer basket and load the food to be cooked into the basket. Place the lid onto the basket.
3. Place the steamer basket into the water. The water level should be so low that it does not touch the food in the steamer basket. Steam the food on the boiling water in accordance with your recipe. Keep an eye on things to make sure that the water does not evaporate completely.
