Taro is usually steamed 15 minutes or so. Specifically, it is necessary to distinguish between slicing and steaming equipment:

1, taro slices on the steamer, usually steamed 15 minutes. Because taro itself has a high density, it is best to slice and steam when steaming, and the heated area of slicing and steaming is larger, so steaming can be done in 15 minutes.

2, taro on the whole steamer, generally need to steam for 20 minutes fully cooked. Because the whole taro is heated slowly without cutting, it takes more time for the inside of taro to steam into the temperature, so the whole steaming will take longer;

3. Steaming in a rice cooker or pressure cooker takes only 10 minutes to cook. Because the pressure of the rice cooker or pressure cooker itself is high, and the heating itself is stronger when the cooker is steamed, it is not easy to leak, so the time spent steaming taro will be greatly shortened. Generally, the cooker can be steamed in cold water for 10 minutes.

Is it better to steam taro in cold water or hot water?

Steamed taro is generally recommended to be steamed in hot water, and cold water is not recommended. The reasons are as follows:

1, steamed taro in hot water is more fragrant. Many people think that steamed taro can be steamed in cold water more quickly, so it should be steamed in cold water. In fact, steamed taro in cold water is not as delicious as steamed taro in hot water because the heating time is too long.

2. Steamed taro in hot water is softer. Because taro itself is very dry, with less water, and there is no water vapor when steamed in cold water, some water will volatilize during the steaming process, which makes taro dry and hard to bite, and its taste is not as soft and delicious as hot water steaming.

How delicious is taro steamed for a few minutes?

On the premise of steamed taro, the faster it is steamed, the more delicious it is, because it can retain more fragrance and lose less water. Therefore, it is best to steam it with pressure cooker or rice cooker first, and the time should not be too long, otherwise it is not as good as the steamer.

Tips for cooking "steamed taro";

(1) When steaming taro, it is recommended to peel and cut into pieces before steaming, instead of steaming the whole taro, because the outer skin of taro itself has many gaps, even if it is cleaned, it is easy to leave bacteria or soil, and it is difficult to steam it thoroughly if it is unsanitary to eat.

(2) Steamed taro should be eaten while it is hot, otherwise it will be dry and hard after it is cold, and it tastes terrible.

(3) Although taro is delicious, it has no special taste. It is suggested that students dip steamed taro in white sugar to eat it together, so it tastes best.
