A new year and a better way of cooking good healthy food…
The Braun FS5100 food steamer is great for just that, great tasting food and cooked just right, even if you are cooking for just one or an entire family. There’s only a 45 second warm up time so there isn’t a long wait to get it started – Just fill the water tank, add your ingredients and set the timer. It’s then time to sit back, have a coffee (or decant the wine) and simply wait as the timer will automatically switch off when the cooking time has elapsed.
This way of cooking helps keep the flavour in, retains vital nutrients and gives you healthy food you will enjoy completely guilt free! On top of all that, it’s easy to clean and store.
Compact in design, with “baskets” that fit neatly inside each other so you can find the perfect basket to steam everything, from chicken breast to garden asparagus. All the baskets are 100% BPA-free, so you can be assured of the best for your health. Being BPA-free you can even use the steamer to prepare baby food. No more jars of mush!
To check out the credentials, I set about the perfect road test: rice. You can get rice very, very wrong but this got me a perfect bowl of beautifully cooked rice – with little effort exerted!
Once I got started, I was hooked! I wrapped a salmon fillet in paper (you could try banana leaves or wrap chicken in greaseproof paper, with onions, garlic and lemon) and chucked in some herbs and seasonings and got steaming, with some purple sprouting broccoli. It was delicious as all the flavours and juices were kept in.
