INTRODUCTION

The Cuisinart® Turbo Convection Steamer steams food faster than conventional steamers. The convection fan circulates air for faster and more even steam distribution. Foods cook faster, so flavors are sealed in, which allows the natural flavors to flourish. Steaming food is a healthy way to prepare your favorite meals. Fats, oils, and butter are not necessary for steaming, though small amounts of extra virgin olive oil or flavored oils may be used for added flavor.
