The water in your dish is normal. Indeed, the Steam'up steam goes directly into your container in order to cook your food.
The advantage of this cooking juice is that it is full of the flavours and vitamins of your ingredients. You can:
- either make a sauce with it, for example by adding cream.
- or keep it for later by keeping it cool and use it as a broth for cooking other stuff, thus there is no waste.

- reduce this sauce by putting your container (e. g. a pan) over high heat, so that the water will evaporate.
- use the steam basket included with the Steam'up: your ingredients will be slightly lifted and will not come into contact with this water at the bottom of your container.
