Steam cooking system
Traditional cooking is becoming increasingly passé. Now, both experts on healthy eating and encourage various shades of gourmets to convert water to steam. Because food is subjected to such heat treatment remains far more vitamins, nutrition, minerals and antioxidants. Those who cook by steaming also ensure that the foods are gaining in aroma and taste, and preparation is very simple.
What to cook together?
This method works for most vegetables, except tomatoes and leafy. Taste deliciously cooked potatoes (including uniforms), carrots, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. Vegetables retain its natural color, they also have a more distinctive taste and smell, so it does not require intense flavor.
You can cook in this way the fruit - apples, pears and plums. The meats that are suitable for fish, seafood and delicate poultry.
Besides, without water we cook rice, various types of cereal, couscous and steamed dumplings traditional.
How to cook?
Best to obtain the special device, or steamer. Equipped with a few "stories" can also prepare more dishes. Steamer cookers are also suitable, most of which are equipped with special inserts. The same is true of the wokami that can be used not only for oriental cooking.
If you do not have these dishes, you can replace them with ordinary pot, to which we put a special metal or bamboo basket.
No matter what we use, we must remember that cooked products do not come into contact with water. Therefore, it should pour just a few inches to the bottom (up to 2-3 fingers). The ingredients are placed in a basket lined with leaves of lettuce or cabbage, so you will not be clung to the vessel.
In order not to rozgotować products must comply with the time of treatment. Fish will be ready after 6-8 minutes after the 1910-1920 meat balls, chicken requires about 40 minutes, the rice - 30
To add a taste of the dish, you can sprinkle it before putting into the pot with herbs or spices, fish is good to sprinkle with lemon juice. Never add salt steamed products - you can just add a little salt on a plate.
Into boiling water, you can also add a bit of white, dry wine, which raises an additional taste.

Steaming
This method of cooking made so famous in the world of the Chinese and Japanese.Americans to reach the relatively recently and met with a natural distrust of our fellow countrymen. Indeed, the Americans like to eat greasy, fried and stew like, and how to cook it in water only and not in some fumes. However, it appears that the Americans were well aware of the advantages of this method. Research shows that about 32% of us is aware of its benefits. The Americans, however, believe that it requires too much time and effort. Where did this idea come from? I do not know. What could be simpler than to throw such a fish on the steaming basket, wait for 8 minutes, then put it on a plate? Lest there be adequate equipment, but he is! And it is in our kitchen! Just after pot, metal filter, heatproof dish, a plate and cover! More advanced supply with a special basket and wok.
The Americans, however, know their - their business. Meanwhile, nutritionists are extremely agree on the desirability of this exotic method. It turns out that the so-prepared meals are of the highest quality in terms of vitamins and minerals. Why? Because steaming significantly limits their degradation! Food is not immersed in water, and therefore there is no leaching of nutrients. Similarly, minerals and vitamins are retained to a much greater extent than during traditional cooking. Nor can we forget that food cooked by steaming does not require the use of fat. In order not to be groundless, I will try to illustrate the advantages of the above example: see research has shown that broccoli cooked by steaming to contain about 50% more vitamins than those cooked conventionally?
Someone will ask, what about taste? Well, all the ingredients of steamed dishes retain their natural aroma and the taste is much more intense than during cooking in water. In addition, the ingredients are resilient, firm, does not absorb too much water and not dry. All this makes it retain its natural color and a great present on the plate. With this method, you will not regret nothing. Even the water that leaked into the vessel can be used to prepare the sauce.
What is steam? Even his own mother in law unless it is a bast! However this way works best for vegetables, delicate white meat, fish and seafood.
How to cook steamed? Most boil in a wok with boiling water poured to a height of 2-3 inches. The ingredients are placed in a special basket, who teaches a leaf of lettuce or cabbage to Announce sticking dishes. Basket cover with lid and insert into the wok. As above mentioned, who does not wok, you may arrange the ingredients on the plate. Then a large pot filled with boiling water to a height of two fingers inserted upside down heat resistant bowl and plate with its constituents. Cover pot and is waiting for results. In China, this method also applies a special insert in the shape of the cross. It usually applies if you want to use the sauce leaking component.
Since we all know, is to join things. To better discern put some sample rules. Enjoy your meal!

Microwave steam cooking
Microwave useful pracusiom busy. Check also for small kitchens, which have no place in oven.
For several years there have been discussions whether or microwave dishes are healthy. Finally, practical considerations prevailed, that is very quick and easy cooking, ensure that the microwave. Such a microwave be useful especially to those who lack the time to cook once a week, and then only if rozmrażają odgrzewają dishes, and all impatient and always busy. Maybe that's why become a popular wedding gift. On the market there are plenty of models. How, then choose the one best suited for us, since the primary function of all microwave is cooking and heating? Here are three steps that will help you choose
Method of control:
mechanical - they have older or cheaper models - the user must set the same power of the device and the time of the oven. These settings, at least initially done by the eye, so sometimes you have to turn the oven a few times before it reaches the proper cooking time and intensity;
electronic (automatic) - typical of more expensive models. It is much more convenient than mechanical, simply select the type of food (eg fish, poultry or vegetables), enter the approximate weight and select an option such as cooking or defrosting. Cookware itself selects the required heating power and time preparing meals;
so. smart - are equipped with the latest generation of devices is not. Same check the weight and volume of food, "guess" of what is done, and set all the parameters, we just have to decide what he wants to do with food: to cook or reheat them.
Check the power and capacity
If the microwave is used exclusively for heating food quickly whether or not to defrost them, just when it has little power (eg 700). However, if you want a lot of it to cook, bake and even grill, for example, in the kitchen oven does not fit, decide on a model of high power (over 1000). It is also important, how many households will benefit from the oven. Large capacity (eg 34 l) useful when preparing food is usually for a few people.
Additional Features
Microwave oven can be equipped with many different features, select those with whom you intend to use:
BBQ - you have to remember that in a low-power ovens grill takes a long time;
thawing - the more expensive models is a special system that prevents heating of the food rozmrażanej;
quick heating - just turn on a button to give gently podgrzało, this feature is useful when very rush and do not have time to figuring out how heavy dish;
steaming - one of the newest ideas cooker manufacturers, the equipment is a special dish that allows such a way as cooking (important for those on a diet);
toast - to prepare a crunchy foods like toast;
hot air - thanks to him bake the dough quickly and evenly.
How to take care of the stove?
Microwave does not require multiple treatments, however, we must remember a few rules of its use:
interior and cover it is best to clean soft cloth with dishwashing liquid;
Do not run empty oven;
vents can not be obscured;
food should cook only in the vessels, which indicated that they could be used for this purpose;
should not be put dishes in the oven:
- Vessels and metal foils (cooker may be damaged);
- Vessels decorated with gold or silver motifs (decorations may be destroyed);
- Containers made of melamine (plastic, which trays are made for example), because they may crack.
What safeguards are microwaves?
Modern stoves are safe. First of all, turn off automatically when the door is opened, even if this occurs during cooking. If the house is a small child, you should choose the model with the door locked, so baby will not open them, and thus does not burn a hot dish. It is possible to lock the keys (keyboard combination), which prevents the inclusion of a child of the oven.

Why steam?
Steaming, adored by thousands of years by the renowned wisdom of the Chinese people care is the best way to preserve the natural taste, color and consistency of products. Most importantly, this technique allows to minimize loss of vitamins and trace elements that the conventional methods of treatment are often dramatically high. We do not even often the case, as a great resource pour into the sink odcedzając vegetables and what really remains for us on a plate, in addition to calories. For example, losses of vitamin C when cooked in water reach 70%, 40% steamed.
Moreover, special overlays for pots We need not have any substance to facilitate the cooking - no oil, lard and butter dishes automatically become lighter and healthier. And if this were not enough, not want to get to the pot and stir or turn - the process is completely automatic!

Overlays must be placed min. 2.5 cm above the water, so that water does not touch the food.
The lid should be well matched, so as not to lose heat in the overlay.
Best to cook only one level, unless we know how to correctly adjust the time to individual components - the higher the less potent pair and slower processing time.
We leave gaps between pieces of food to steam to flow freely.
Vegetables and fruits are trying to cook whole or in parts as much as possible - whether or not any damage to the skin resulting in loss of valuable minerals and vitamins, so it is good to buy high-quality greens.
Spices add marynując best food before cooking (using lemon juice or olive oil) or doprawiając them the boiling water (eg stock cube)
Meat should be lean and this is not the species that require long heat treatment, the type of beef.
Ingredients must be previously frozen defrost.
Of course, a large part of our dinners are cooked by steaming at the beginning seem rather clear and dull in comparison with traditional fritter. This is the first question of taste, which give the fat and salt, and secondly just habit. However, if you truly doprawimy herb dishes, this food will be no less interesting ao sky healthier. After a few weeks we will be unable to imagine the consumption schabowego rozgotowanym mashed potatoes ...
