Scientists have proven that products that are steamed are much more beneficial for the body than the same products, but cooked in traditional ways. For example, when frying foods in oil, many vitamins are destroyed by the action of hot fat or washed with boiling water when extinguished. Therefore, people constantly eat food without the useful substances that the body so needs, in particular the gastrointestinal tract. Not so long ago, steaming was popular, special household appliances called steamers help in this.
When cooking in a double boiler, that is, with the help of steam, the products retain a much larger amount of substances that our body needs, in addition to harmful substances do not form during the cooking process, as when frying in oil, and the gastrointestinal tract does not suffer from an abundance of harmful substances and the absence of useful.
How does a double boiler work?
The principle of operation of a double boiler is quite simple, but at the same time it is very effective.
In the lower part of the double boiler is a container of water, which when boiling releases steam, which in turn enters the department with products. An important feature is that steam heats all products evenly, which helps to preserve all the substances inside the product itself. Steam is collected on the lid of the double boiler, and then the water flows back into the tank. Something like the movement of water in the atmosphere.
Types of steamers
The essence of the work of all double boiler is absolutely identical, the difference lies only in size, capabilities and, of course, price. Therefore, when choosing a double boiler, pay attention first of all to the size, more precisely to the volume of the food tank. If you have a large family, then naturally you need a double boiler as much as possible. In addition, double boiler have such characteristic as power. The capacity of a double boiler usually varies from half a kilowatt to 2 kilowatts. Also, the double boiler can also be divided by type of control. There are cheaper models with mechanical control and more expensive with electronic control.
Mechanical control means that you can set the temperature or cooking time in manual mode. The electronic control system allows you to select predefined programs that set the optimal time and temperature.
Modern steam cookers have several modes, in particular, steam boost is used to quickly defrost products, which allows you to defrost products in a matter of minutes.
It is worth noting that the double boiler has another parameter that many consultants in stores have not even heard of. This is an adaptation to atmospheric pressure. Be sure to check the technical data sheet of the double boiler before buying. The whole “secret” is that if you live in regions much higher than sea level, for example, in mountainous areas, then you should choose a double boiler that is adapted to the lowest pressure.
