An Introduction to Steam Cooking
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Sunbeam VitaSteam electronic food steamer. You will now be able to enjoy the benefits and convenience of steam cooking.
Steaming is one of the healthiest cooking methods available, as it requires no fats or oils. Steaming ensures that fruit and vegetables retain vitamins and minerals required for a balanced diet. Meats such as chicken can be gently steamed to retain their flavour and tenderness, while the fats drain away.
Steaming is also gentle, as the food never comes in contact with the cooking liquid, ensuring that it retains its shape, colour and texture.
