What exactly can you cook in a steamer?!


Question: What exactly can you cook in a steamer!?
I bought a steamer but it hasn't come with very good instructions on what you can and can't cook, it shows a picture of a whole chicken cooking but no times or methods!. I just thought steamers were for vegetables, can anyone give advice!?
Thanks in advance :PWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Steam is amazing stuff - just let some sneak out of a pot and burn you! It cooks really quick!.

You'll just have to experiment with foods and time - You'll want to cook cut up chicken for over 30 minutes - they can carry salmonella - and you want to kill those sorts of bugs and cook the meat very well!.

You can put in some potatoes, green peppers, cut up chicken and make a whole nice meal all at once!. If you're going to be eating fish - fish will probably take much less time to cook than the chicken!. 8 minutes is my guess!.

Can't tell you how long to cook a potato - 20 to 25 minutes probably!.

And you can name your steamer Stanley!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

you can also cook rice, dumplings, seafood (crabs, lobsters)!.!. a lot of things actually!
Items that you steam should be naturally tender and of a size and shape that will allow them to cook in a short amount of time!.

when cooking vegetables or fruit, its best to remove tough skin so that the cooking time is not slowed down!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

most fresh meat without a bone in it, not mince for obvious reasons!.
vegetables, rice, pasta, fish!.
for healthy chips, cut fresh potatoes into chips, steam them until just going soft them finish in the oven to crisp the outside, yummy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you can do potatoes!. i love potatoes!. you can do fish as well, but i just use it for vegetables and also because i don't like fish!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I cook most of my food in a steamer!. It will cook a breast in about 35/40 minutes, fish in 8-15 mins, veg, rice and it is also handy for re-heating food!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can cook just about anything in a steamer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
