Cooking With Steam Control Makes Cooking As Easy As 1, 2, 3, ...
- Start cooking on medium heat
- Listen for the whistle
- Close the valve and turn the heat down to low or simmer to finish cooking.
Basic Rules Are Simple
- Always use the right pan from your stainless steel waterless cookware set..
Select the pan the food will most nearly fill, as air pockets created by "too large for the food quantity" pans will destroy the vitamins, dry your foods and possibly burn.
- Rinse prepared fruits and vegetables
Rinsing in cold water and then draining is important for 2 reasons: removing harmful chemicals and allowing enough water to cling to the food combine with natural juices and cook the food in its own steam. This is waterless, nutritional cooking. Until you get used to this new method, you may want to add several tablespoons of water.
- Control the heat
Always control the heat throughout the cooking process. If you have heat that is too high, it evaporates the steam and your food burns. With stainless steel waterless cookware, the control is never on higher than MEDIUM heat.
- Get a vapor seal
Start the cooking process on medium heat until the steam control valve whistles in the open position. Then turn the heat down to low or simmer and close the valve. After you do this the lid will form an air-tight heat seal.
Watery type food such as apples and cabbage take about three minutes. More solid food such as potatoes and carrots take about five minutes for the lid to seal after turning the heat to low and closing the steam control valve.
- Don"t peek!
Resist that urge to peek! When the cover is removed during the cooking period, heat and steam are allowed to escape. This lengthens the cooking time and dries out the food.
How to determine Correct Cooking Temperatures
Waterless cooking is a low-temperature method which can be used on any type of stove. Because the degree of heat on different stoveswill vary, it may be necessary for you to experiment. Remember, waterless cooking requires lower heat than ordinary cooking methods.
MEDIUM-HIGH HEAT for heating waterless cookware to brown or sear roast, for steaming dried foods over water, for pan broiling thick steaks and chops.
MEDIUM HEAT for pan broiling thin steaks and chops, for starting fresh fruits and vegetables until steam valve whistles.
LOW (SIMMER) HEAT for cooking roasts after browning, for cooking fruit and vegetables after clising stem valve.
