How to steam things in a ceramic steamer?
A ceramic steamer is a kitchen utensil used for steaming food, usually made of ceramic material. It is designed to retain the moisture and original flavor of food, so the nutrients and aroma of the ingredients are preserved while cooking. The following is a method of using a ceramic steamer to steam things, including the following steps:
- Prepare ingredients: First, prepare the food that needs to be steamed, such as rice, steamed buns or other ingredients.
- Prepare the steamer: Clean the ceramic steamer to make sure there is no leftover food or dirt.
- Add water: Add an appropriate amount of water to the steamer or electric pot, making sure there is enough but not overflowing.
- Place the food: Place the prepared food into the steamer basket, making sure there is enough space between the food for even distribution of steam.
- To heat: Heat a steamer or electric pan, or directly on a gas stove if using a gas stove.
