EGGS

Fresh eggs (no more than a weekold) are bestas the whites will remain close to the yolk for a more round appearance. Use eggs at room temperature for best results. As eggs age, the whites ‘thin out’. Eggs will no longer be tough because steaming provides a moist and gentle method of cooking.

•Always fill reservoir to at least minimum level before connecting to power supply.

•Use Rice Bowl when cooking scrambled or poached eggs. To prevent sticking, wipe Rice Bowl lightly with cooking oil.

•For fluffier scrambled eggs, add 1 Tbs. water per egg and mix.

•To poach eggs, add 1 Tbs. vinegar to water in base to help egg whites congeal faster.

Designed for home enthusiasts and professional chefs alike, this model allows for an effective way to preserve fruits, vegetables, and even meats, ensuring that flavors and nutrients remain intact.

One of the main features of the Nesco ST-25 is its innovative Converga-Flow technology.

Another key characteristic of the Nesco ST-25 is its temperature control feature. With a thermostat adjustable up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, users can set the ideal drying temperature based on the type of food being processed. This flexibility means that delicate items can be dried without risk of damage, while tougher materials like meats can be processed effectively.

Durability is another highlight of the Nesco ST-25, as it is built with high-quality materials that ensure longevity. The compact design makes it easy to store, while the clear exterior allows users to monitor the drying process without opening the unit, preserving energy and maintaining the ideal environment within.
