Steamer is famous for lack of need to use oil. Athletes are aware how it is useful to reduce body fat quota. Did you see how thin the layer of fat on her stomach was growing for the night after a hearty dinner without a double boiler. Said true when the weight loss process is in full swing. If the fat has burned, the body just got used to the new metabolism, a good dinner is not so bad. At the beginning of the course the loss of calories is better to cook in a double boiler. Athletes will be told how difficult to sustain a diet, especially vegetarian. Life will seem a paradise if to master a number of cooking techniques. By the way, steamer, made with his own improvised, even help cook porridge.
homemade steamer
Apparatus kitchen steamer
Copy steamer device will not work. Get ready to follow the device manually pinpoint the time on the alarm clock. Under the steamer should not be taken multivarku that comes with the net in the set, or separately for the net pots. Steamer is similar to the internal structure of household inhaler for the treatment of rhinitis.
Is the device: in the heating coil based give a small capacity accommodating medicinal solution. Top dressing something like a bell, which put her head face down, select the desired heating mode, the treatment begins. The medicine enters the nasal passages, sinuses, even the lungs. Hot steam favorable effect on the organism, promoting rapid healing.
Similarly keen on cooking steamer:
- At the base of the steam generator device. Traditionally - closed spiral under the water tank. Added protection against overheating of the steamer.
- Above the generator is worth a spacious glass dome. In a double boiler solid, without a single hole. The dome of a special form, slightly tapering towards the top, so that the steam flows down the walls. Then the spiral again uses the condensate is collected in the capacity of the generator.
multi-level steamer
- Under the dome of a double boiler set stack of two, three or more rows of grids, where products are placed.
- In the middle like the mouth of a volcano are holes in tiers to a couple of easier to climb up.
Steamer operates regimes. The temperature is difficult to sustain in the course of cooking duration is mainly. The logic of the double boiler electronics with their own hands to realize the hard focus on other details:
- implementation of the steam generator;
- steamers dome construction;
- lattices tier.
To make your own double boiler, you will need to solve complex tasks. Let's start ...
The design of the steamer
Over a double boiler heater heater will fit better to buy an electric kettle heating element or an inhaler. The diameter of the grid will not appear too small. Steam escapes from the center, and the size (diameter) of the grids take online store a template ready the factory steamers.
Construction of a double boiler
In order to properly withstand the power modes and a double boiler, it is permissible to calculate and perform the Sisyphean task yourself, we suggest to take a ready-made figures.
The foregoing also applies to the height of the dome of the steamer. Through the walls of the dome will constantly keep leakage heat. In a double boiler is directly proportional to two factors:
- Temperature difference between the container and the cooking room.
- Square dome steamer.
Of course, the role played by the material, try to copy the factory model. It remains to decide where to get the heater to the steamer. Electric inhaler and are not unique and exclusive providers relevant components, but devices are easy to use. Typical thermal fuse household appliances activated at 135 degrees Celsius, it is suitable for the steamers. Locate the device in the absence. Things like that are equipped with electric motors, transformers - to borrow a makeshift double boiler parts of old appliances. At the bottom of the kettle thermal fuse inside the iron, in the heater housing. release temperature is indicated on the element. Choose 135 degrees Celsius: if the water boils away, there will be switched off.
Of course, the heater may get their own, be sure not to take more powerful heating elements 1,5 kW. Even with excess of 2 kW.
The power of the heating element depends on the total volume of the cooking. Recall that the heat loss is directly proportional to the area of the hood. By the way, anyone can implement a system thermostat, so as to minimize the risk of breakdown of thermal fuse. The complexity here to set the temperature. We believe, will fit the bimetallic plate kettle (located under the button). for the temperature to adjust. To make the necessary, positioning the sensor in different locations of the bottom. If the fusing temperature is too low, beneath the bimetallic plate is a thin layer of dielectric. When exactly the opposite case, try to place directly on the PETN, in the hot place.
Skill and patience of any thermostat iron, electric oil heater adapted, for their own needs. Comes the turn of the test generator. We perform correctly: simply turn on the device. Should operate until the water is gone, then shuts down for several minutes. If there is a remote thermometer allows you to work above 100 degrees Celsius, use. Response temperature fuse is known from descriptions (item-housing). We can not allow the cup has warmed so much. For the rest, be patient. As an insulator, use only non-flammable materials: scraps termotkani (found in electric kettles or irons), tubing (heat-resistant), and so on.
Metal grid
We believe that the grid will gather each. Buy at the hardware store steel. Wherein the metal (alloy) choose food. Just ask the steel grade (if the seller does not know, do not take the grid), then check the quality of Yandex. It is better to buy three aluminum lattice for the steamer in the store, cut out each core, then put on top of each other. Do not worry, if the diameter is beyond the edge of the steam generator. The dome will do a little wider for dripping condensate, pick up the bowl size. In the middle put the plate, which will strengthen the steam generator, as if on an island. Water certainly does not reach the electrical parts. Make sure that the capacity of the inner bowl was certainly less than the outside.
It is more difficult to get cover. Plastic is no good. Simply borrow aerogrill bowl (in time) placed upside down and cover designed that condensate can drain into the basin. Option demonstrates the benefits of:
- Thermal insulation is excellent.
- Bowl easily withstand temperature.
- Capacity does not take up too much storage space.
- By magnifying the bowl buy ring equivalent increase in the volume of 1.5 - 2 times.
Instead bowl aerogrill possible to put a clear pot. The operating principle of a double boiler will not change. Opaque utensils suitable worse, because they do not see the result of cooking. If the capacity to remove accumulated steam evaporate, the temperature drops, it is not always helpful for preparing meals.
Safety in the design of steamer
The vapor settles everywhere, penetrate into the slots, forming bridges for conduction of electric current. Grounded device housing. For example, when using the heating element is soldered to a terminal of the tubular heater jacket. Grounding is vital because the water in the appliance and aluminum. Current moves in different ways, not the fact that the phase of fall in the overall lead. The potential victim waits, for example, on the grid of the second tier. Man has a capacitance because its a probability of 100%. Worse, if the second hand to touch the batteries, sinks, gas pipes. Such an outcome in the house do not need.
Grounding may (but need not) short-circuited to the common wire, but in this case it is impossible to use automatic differential protection - that measures the difference between the input and output current. If a leak appears, the balance will not be broken. The whole house will have to wait until the plug will burn. Do not want to be self-made pressure cooker has become a source of danger for the readers.
