First, the water tank is filled with water. After opening the folding steamer, the rectangular container on the back is the water tank. Before steaming food, we need to prepare a water tank: fill the water tank with water, the maximum is not more than? Max. Water level line, and then install the water tank back, and the preparation work is completed.
It is important to note that the water in the water tank is used to steam food directly, so you can try to use better quality water, which can also avoid the formation of scale in the water tank and is not easy to clean.
Second, start steaming vegetables. Put the ingredients to be steamed in the right place according to the instructions, close the cupboard door and start cooking.
Different ingredients have different time control programs, corresponding to different steaming plates. For example, ceramic plates are used to steam fish, while perforated plates are used to steam sweet potatoes. If you use a perforated steamer to steam meat, you need to put it on the upper layer and an empty non-perforated steamer on the lower layer. This can prevent the meat grease from flowing out and dripping into the steamer, which is not easy to clean.
Third, the precautions after steaming After the steamer has been working for a long time, there will be indicator lights and tips to report that the food has been completed. At this time, don't rush to open the steamer to take out the dishes, because at this time, the steam has not dispersed, with a lot of heat, and it is easy to cause burns if you are not careful.
The more correct way is to let it stand for a minute or two before opening the steamer, or you can open a small gap in the steamer first and take out the dishes after the hot air dissipates.
The folding steamer can easily handle all kinds of common steamed vegetables and can also be used as a thawing tool. If the kitchen space is tight, you can fold it up after each use and take it out for use next time, which can effectively save space.
