The three-part universal steamer is a versatile alternative to a conventional steamer and is perfect for cooking potatoes, vegetables, pasta, fish, and meat. Steaming is a particularly gentle cooking method that preserves vitamins and nutrients. The hot steam prevents leaching and drying of the ingredients, preserving their natural flavors and requiring less fat, salt, and spices. The universal steamer is also ideal for defrosting and reheating food. With a diameter of 22 cm, it can hold about 2 kg of potatoes placed in the perforated top. Water for cooking is filled into the lower part of the steamer, and the pot with potatoes is placed on top and covered with the lid. After boiling, the heat is reduced. Thanks to the sight glass lid, you can observe the cooking food and adjust the heat accordingly. In addition to potatoes and vegetables, dumplings, chicken filets, and fish can be tenderly steamed in the universal steamer. Frozen foods can also be thawed easily. The top insert is ideal for washing potatoes and can also be used as a vegetable sieve, while the lower pot also serves as a cooking pot without an insert. During the cooking process, always keep the lid of the steamer closed so that the steam does not escape but condenses on the lid. Before opening the lid, wait a moment until the water has stopped boiling to avoid burns from steam. Use pot holders at all times.
