When you come into the division of kitchen appliances - makes you dizzy, want all at once. But how can you buy thing not knowing what we should focus upon purchase of some things. Today Women's Magazine will tell you how to choose the steamer.
Steamer - a new fashion trend on the part of cooking. With its help you can not only quickly and hassle-free lunch, but will save in the products valuable substances. However steamers have a fairly simple design, so paying attention to some details, you will easily be able to choose a quality and long-running device.
Baskets
Typically, the basket is 2 or 3, so think about how many people you will be cooking and, therefore, select the amount of steamers. You will notice the identical form of baskets or not. And in two versions has its pros and cons. If the baskets are the same size they can be easily interchanged if necessary (suddenly one dish was prepared, and the other still neogotiate). And baskets of different sizes is more convenient to store, putting one inside the other.
Pallets
In addition to the baskets in pressure cookers there and pallets. Note whether they have handles that will help you not to burn yourself when draining hot water from the unit. Not bad if you have each basket your pallet that will help prevent falling condensate and juice from one product to the other.
On what to pay attention
It is desirable, of course, that the baskets were made of glass and not plastic. But on the other hand modern technology still is not designed for use for centuries, so a budget option with plastic is also not bad.
The power of the most modern pressure cookers varies from 600 to 2000 watts. This parameter is not crucial for the speed of cooking, but still it is advisable to buy the device with greater capacity.
And the presence of aquatimer interesting detail of the kind of "usula and tabula". If you don't have time to wait, when the water boils - aquatimer will do everything for you automatically.
Rapid heating allows you to start cooking immediately, without wasting time waiting and preparation.
Not too much in the steamer will be the thermostat, through which you can prepare meals, compulsory condition for which there is a clear temperature throughout cooking.
Most pressure cookers, presents currently on the market have a mechanical type of control. This means that the operation of the device is set with round-switch-timer, which you just need to turn on the appropriate number of divisions. The main advantage of the mechanical type of control is that to turn on the steamer and set the desired cooking time is very quick, just one movement.
Somewhat less sold double boiler with electronic control type. Such models have a keypad and a small display, which displays the selected modes. Devices with electronic control system more functional. For example, you can set a delay cooking time (delay time) for up to 12 hours, and then your steamer will start to cook immediately, but after a certain time. This is useful if you are going out for a few hours and want the food began to prepare immediately and directly before your return. In addition, such models usually have the function of keeping warm (keep warm), i.e., after the cooking time has expired, they are not disabled at all, but pass into the heating mode, allowing the food remains warm.
It should, however, be borne in mind that along with the many benefits of pressure cookers with electronic control type has a disadvantage: to enable them, require more time and attention because you should not just turn the handle and press several times on different buttons, making sure that displays the indicator. If you are going to use the steamer often, as a function of delay time cooking and keeping warm, you do not really need, better to buy a model with a mechanical timer.
