Steaming Tips

•Pre-cooked pasta is easily reconstituted, and gives you a hot product without the wetness of the normal “dip” method.

•Experiment with your products and different steam- ing times–a little more or less steam could change the appearance/flavor.

•If you serve melted cheese on sandwiches, steam is the perfect way to melt cheese.

•A steamed bun (which takes about 10-15 seconds) says “Hot Sandwich” to your customer.

•Vegetables, rice and bread products can be recon- stituted by steaming before serving which reduces waste.

•Dinner rolls, muffins, even tortillas can be heated completely and held without drying out the product.

•Use a low plate or pan when steaming to allow full steam penetration and shorter cooking times.

•Condensation inside the steamer is normal, but excess moisture indicates too much water is being used.

•Heat meat and bread products apart from each other, then combine in a sandwich. This will keep the meat juices from soaking the bread.

•Finish off a special meal with a steamed hand towel–hot without excess moisture.
