Steam cooking is a healthy and gentle way to prepare food, where the food is cooked with steam in a closed container. A pressure cooker offers the perfect solution for this, as it traps the steam inside the pot, thus enabling an optimal cooking method.
Here's how it works
The Vitavit® Premium features a pressureless steam cooking setting. Using an insert, you can also gently steam food in the pressure cooker. The steam escapes through the steaming crown, and the cooking time is the same as with conventional cooking. You can find the cooking time guide here.
1. Preservation of nutrients
Gentle cooking preserves vitamins and minerals.
2. Easy handling
The pot is easy to use and the steam regulator allows for precise control of the cooking time.
3. Diverse uses
Steam cooking is suitable for meat, fish, vegetables and even desserts.
1. Fill with water
Fill the pot with a minimum amount of water (see the "Min" mark).
Set cooking level 3.
Set the cooking crown to "steam cooking" and heat the pot for the regular duration.
4. No evaporation necessary
Since no pressure is built up with this method, the cooking crown does not lift and the pot can be opened at any time without prior steam release.
Tip
Remove the hot insert from the pot using a fork after the cooking time has elapsed.
