How to use a saucepan for a cooker?
The saucepan-steamer has a basic container in which water is poured. On top of it are installed one or several tiers of containers with nets in the bottom, on which the products are laid out. When the water boils, the steam rises and, passing through the holes, heats the food. It is very convenient to monitor the preparation of food through a lid made of heat-resistant glass.
A saucepan - a steamer - how to choose?
When buying a cooking pot for a cooker, you should choose models made from food grade stainless steel. If you plan a purchase in order to prepare children's meals, you can stay on a two-tier model of a steamer. And for cooking a family of three or more people is better to buy a three- or even a five-tiered pan.
When choosing a gas saucepan-steamer, pay attention to the tightness of all tiers. If the containers are inserted into each other without gaps, the steam losses during cooking will be minimal, and therefore, the quality of cooking will be high.
