There’s not a minute to lose! With steam, cooking and preparation times shrink. Cooking time: Between steam and traditional cooking, cooking time is up to 3 times faster. For example, it takes ten minutes to cook potatoes in a pressure cooker as opposed to half an hour by other cooking methods. Preparation time: With the different levels of the steamer, it’s possible to cook several dishes at the same time. Meat and vegetables, a main dish and a dessert… all combinations are possible, as steam does not convey odours. There is no risk of a sickening mixture of smells. And once the ingredients are in the steamer, there’s no need to watch over things as the appliance starts and stops all by itself at the end of cooking.
