Steamed food retains the natural taste of food without losing vitamins and microelements.
Meat, fish and vegetables do not lose moisture and turn out juicy.
Steamed food is lower in calories and more healthy, as it is cooked without oil.
How to steam food without a steamer
You can use a pan and foil.
It's simple: Fill a medium saucepan with water and place three golf ball-sized balls of aluminum foil in the bottom.
Place a heatproof plate on top of the foil balls. Then cover the pan with a lid and bring the water to a boil.
Place the vegetables on a plate, cover and steam until crisp.
Carefully remove the vegetables from the plate and set aside.
This method is very simple. As a result, the vegetables turn out crispy.
You can also use a microwave oven.
Place vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl with a tablespoon of water. Then cover with plastic wrap and cook until crisp, checking frequently. This method will only take you 2-5 minutes.
Vegetables cooked in the microwave may appear slightly shriveled.
However, they cook much faster than vegetables cooked in the pan.
