Of all the conventional cooking methods, steaming is one of the most natural and healthful ways to cook the food you eat; it's a simple technique that allows you to experience the unique flavors of the food itself.
When you steam food, you avoid the hidden calories of butter, oil, and other fats, leaving the bright flavors and textures of the food intact. Unlike boiling and simmering, steaming doesn't agitate food, so it's a perfectly gentle way to cook delicate items like seafood and shellfish. And perhaps best of all, steaming keeps all those valuable nutrients inside the food, instead of in the cooking liquid. Steaming is a relatively quick way to cook food, so stay close. Your food is likely done cooking when it's tender, pierced easily with the tip of a sharp knife, or in the case of vegetables, brightly colored and just barely soft.
This book contains 30 of the most delectable recipes to show you how to maximize the use of your steamer. With proper use and with the right choice of ingredients, you can create mouthwatering meals with the steamer for the entire family to savor and truly enjoy.
