Some of the food that can be done in an electric crockpot:
1, steamed vegetables: put food in the ceramic liner of the electric crockpot can be placed in the ceramic liner without water, and there must be water in the pot outside the liner.

Previously, people usually use a steamer, steaming aroma, when you smell the food flavor, it means that the aroma of the food with the steam are emitted, lost. However, the effect of steaming vegetables with water stew is different, the food is placed in the inner liner covered with a ceramic lid, equivalent to sealing the food in the inner liner. As the temperature rises, the aroma emitted by the food can only circulate in the inner liner, continuously fumigating the food, the aroma will not spill outward, and because of the ceramic cover, the water vapor in the pot outside the inner liner can not enter the food, keeping the food in the liner dry. The reason why the aroma is so fragrant is because it contains the nutrients of the food and so on. It is because the waterproof stew pot can retain the flavor of the food, so it can retain the nutrition of the food, so that there is no loss of nutrients. This is the reason why many people use water-proof crock pots to cook expensive tonic foods. So with the water stew cooking, steaming vegetables, stew, not only can preserve the food nutrition, but also very convenient.
