A growing number of people are trying to lead a healthy lifestyle. Proper nutrition is an integral part of it, and the way of cooking is important. A double boiler is an indispensable assistant in the kitchen for connoisseurs of tasty and healthy food.
The double boiler works on a very simple principle. Previously, it was replaced by a pot of water in which a colander was placed, and food was put into it. It turned out that the products, not in contact with the pan and with water, were steamed. Modern steamers have replaced all these bulky appliances, and now it’s not difficult to steam something.
Cooking in a double boiler has many advantages over conventional frying or cooking. Steamed foods retain the largest amount of vitamins and minerals, and the food is tastier and more succulent.
Typically, a double boiler consists of several steam baskets, which allows you to cook two or three dishes at the same time. Cooking in a double boiler does not require special culinary skills. Cooking in it, you do not need to worry that the food will burn and that the products will need to be constantly stirred. The main thing is to pack the products, fill in the required amount of water, turn on the timer, and then you can calmly go about your business. When the dish is ready, the steam cooker will turn itself off, notifying you of this with a sound signal.
If the family has a small child, then the double boiler will become for you simply an indispensable assistant. She will cook vegetables, steam cutlets, fish and meat for the baby. Steamed food is just perfect for crumbs.
When choosing a double boiler, pay attention to the power of the appliance - it is important if there are a lot of people in the family and you plan to steam often. It is better to choose a "helper" with several transparent baskets - so you can cook several dishes at the same time, observing the process along the way, although the baskets fog up a bit during cooking. The height of the pan where the condensate drains should be at least 2-3 cm. The function of automatically switching off the double boiler if all the water boils is very convenient.
Use such a convenient household appliance as a double boiler and cook healthy, tasty and healthy food for your family.
