Thank you!

I forgot to clarify that I got hold of books from Tefal steamers. This is a Klondike yummy.
If you are interested, I can share the books (in e-mail).

Qween, I'm just now thinking about buying a Tefal steam train to replace the leaky Scarlett. Could you share the recipe books electronically (if you still have them, of course. Thank you.
My soap:

Girls, I will repent right away - I haven't read the whole thread. But still I will ask the question, hoping for your condescension
A friend wants to give a steamer to a lonely elderly relative. I asked for advice, but I'm not in the subject. What are the options? You don't need a lot of bells and whistles, you need to be comfortable to use. It's about Moscow, of course.

I have had Braun FS 20 for a long time, although it is not of a modern design, but very good plastic (not flimsy like modern ones), I use it almost every day.

Definitely Braun FS 20! If you want - you put one tier, you want 2 at once. And the smells in it do not mix when cooking different products.

And I support - Braun FS 20. Easy to use, you can use at least one tier, at least two, easy to clean, no need to pick out of small holes. One filling of water is enough for an hour of operation and then all the water does not boil away, during this hour of continuous operation of the double boiler you do not need to peep and add water. There is a tray where the juice from the prepared food is collected, and in the tank with the heater there is always just clean water, which is also important when servicing - you don't need to wash this whole block with a timer from fat, just drain the broth from the tray and wash it, with fairies, for example.

And I support - Braun FS 20.

Thank you girls! The unambiguous answer is the best one could dream of!

Thank you all very much, read a lot ... went, bought a braun ..
I fed everyone with vegetables and pollock fillets, now I bought a double boiler at Pulkovsky in M-Video, pollock fillets in Ashan ...

and in a dark rice container, soufflés and casseroles are excellent. You can put it right in it or put it in tins!

We have a modest model, it is a small saucepan on the stove Yes, we rarely do anything. Well, steamed beetroot for me is sacred. There were also potatoes, cauliflower and soggy cabbage steaming. Well, thank God that there is a place for this steamer; D But after all, finding a place for kitchen appliances is always a problem

Good day to all! I've been thinking the same thing about a double boiler ... (and the kids are small, the youngest will soon have complementary foods, and it's good for the health of the whole family, and if she also unloads mommy, then there is no price for her!). In general, I traveled through the forums for a long time, studied the reviews and came to the conclusion that how not to "screw up" the device with functionality, how not to decorate the appearance, but there is still no more reliable and better Braun FS 20! Truly a TECHNICAL PERFECT MODEL! But when studying the reviews and places of sale, I discovered one unpleasant thing ... namely, that Braun FS 20 models made in fraternal China appeared on sale (there are complaints about these models - they smell when heated, poor fit of body parts and baskets for cooking and inadequate timer operation), and therefore a warning for future buyers - when ordering or buying, you must definitely be interested in the country of the manufacturer.For myself, I decided on both the store (one of these days I will take this miracle of culinary technology) and with the PV model - definitely Braun FS 20! So I will soon join your ranks))).

Good day, dear forum users and members of the forum! Of course, I decided on a model of a steamer, but a question arose, especially for those who have both a multicooker and a steamer, but the question is, tell me, is it worth buying a steamer if the multicooker has a steaming mode? Or is it still worth it? In general, there is no end to doubts ... Help! Please help me decide ...

I have a double boiler (also Braun FS 20) - it is 99% used for steamed fish, because removing fish from the gum is multi - there is no desire to mess with it.

And so everything in cartoons for a couple is great!
And another difference - a separate steamer most of all fits

I also have Braun FS 20, I use it very often, and when I need to make something only to my beloved - a small portion, it is, of course, easier in a multicooker - I have a small Panasonic. Well, in fact, it's up to you to decide for yourself whether you need a two-tier steamer, an insert in a multicooker is quite suitable for steaming, you won't get anything new in terms of taste by buying a separate steamer.

Yes, I’m sitting reading the forum, the current of doubts is not diminishing ... I have a big family, there’s no escape with the question of the implementation of proper nutrition ... Oh, these torments of choice ...

AEROMASTER, then do not hesitate and take the Braun FS 20, it will be a good choice for a family, and in a multicooker-pressure cooker you will simultaneously cook something else.

Or is it still worth it? In general, there is no end to doubts ... Help! Please help me decide ...

AEROMASTER, if I were you, I would take a double boiler without hesitation, especially for preparing food for a baby. In it, you can cook several dishes at the same time: for example, fish or meat in the first tier + any side dish in the second + casserole in the third, soufflé, omelet and even biscuit.

Soooo, something is starting to take shape ... Thank you, Leska, you prompted me what I probably missed. The cartoon and the Steamer cook in the machine and free up the parents to communicate with the children, whom we, alas, do not devote too much time to (((, but which is not small, unlike a double boiler, you cannot cook several dishes in a cartoon at once, you cannot cook whole beets my son respects her very much, especially grated with sour cream), again, vitamins are preserved, hot sandwiches, stewing, baking, cooking in pots, AG helps with this ... And since AG does not allow steaming, then I think everything is more correct it will be in addition to it to take a steamer! So, in general, then, with the purchase of multi, you can wait for now ... (there will be a surprise for my wife on March 8). My choice appears Braun FS 20

AEROMASTER, when will it be ..... March 8! On Valentine's Day!

AEROMASTER, when will it be ..... March 8! On Valentine's Day!

Everything can be ... (Inada's wife reads the entot forum, so I won't open all the cards ...)

Maybe someone knows if this is normal or not?
The problem is as follows. During cooking, fat, juice, etc. from the food being cooked in the upper containers somehow gets into the compartment with the heating element (apparently the steam condenses). All this sticks to the heater and is rather poorly cleaned afterwards. Is this a defect or should it be?

Well, if your steamer has all the bulkheads, the bottom of the containers-bowls and grates in the holes, then it will be so, the juice in the products does not linger, it needs to drain somewhere. So it flows into the water.

My Brown has its own small base-tray under each bowl, with a hole in the middle for steam, so all the juices drain into these small trays and the water is always clean.



To do it in black, this is a solid pan with a hole in the middle for steam. And all the liquid, juices with fat are collected in it, do not get into the water.

Admin, thank you very much!

Well, to get a pleasant culinary shock - try steamed hodgepodge, or rather, hodgepodge cabbage. 10-15 minutes - and you have a wonderful steamed and not falling apart cabbage in a frying pan, you can't stew it in life.

oh, tell me how to do it, this hodgepodge? I have had a double boiler for three years, but something has not found an approach to it ...

[Admin.]

How good it is that there is someone to ask for advice and get a comprehensive answer to it.
Today I also became the owner of the Braun FS 20 steamer, I have already checked it, there was no smell of plastic even when I turned it on for the first time. After all, I saw her in the store, but I didn't really like the appearance. And five years ago I bought an expensive double boiler, metal bottom, electronic control, cooked very well, but the smell was suffocating. I hoped that the smell would disappear over time, but it did not go away, and when I began to feel unimportant, I decided to throw it away.
Now I am sure that this steamer will benefit my family.
Thank you all very much for your feedback, but the answer was the most convincing. Admin.

[francevna]

francevna, congratulations on your new assistant.

On the face of a terrible - kind inside.

Hope so!

I use my steamer .... I don't even remember how old she is, about a dozen years for sure! I am glad to this day, serves regularly - which is what I wish for you!

[Leska, Admin]

Leska, Admin, Thank you.

and at one time I took a Tefal transparent, three-tiered steamer, - there are no complaints about the work, but the plastic has already burst all over, I'm waiting for free money to buy Brown

I cooked vegetables for the vinaigrette in the Braun FS 20 steamer today. I used to cook it separately in three saucepans, but here are potatoes in the lower pan, beets and carrots in the upper. All cleaned, cooked for 45 minutes. Cooked fish and rice for garnish. The steamer is wonderful and I don't want a multicooker.

Congratulations on your purchase! One does not interfere with the other, over time the question of a multicooker will arise, I guarantee

Try to cut vegetables immediately into pieces of the desired size, rinse quickly from starch, and lay out on trays, you can put beets, carrots, potatoes next to them - everything will cook quickly and will not color each other. But immediately get a cut of vegetables. You can put eggs next to it for salad

Tatyana, I cooked a lot, the trays were full. Potatoes were cut into 2 parts, beets into 4 parts, very large. It's more comfortable for me. I cut it on Nayser Dayser Plus (more precisely, I cut my grandson, who will be 3 years old in May, such an assistant is growing.)
I really wanted a multicooker, but when the whole family gathers, it’s faster to cook on a gas stove, since I use pots with 7 liters. And there life will show.

forgot to report ... I ended up buying Braun FS20, Multigourmet. I am very happy !!! I made fish (salmon fillets), potatoes, vegetables in it, even sterilized baby bottles - everything works out great!
The only thing I DO NOT do is rice, because 1) it takes a long time, 2) it doesn’t turn out very much in consistency, 3) it’s better to have a separate heated rice cooker or just in a saucepan - so much faster ...
I also use it to make vegetables for Olivier and vinaigrette in this way: I chop raw vegetables in a Boshevsky cube (this is 2 minutes), then in a double boiler (30 minutes), then it cools with an open lid (vegetables are wet) - very convenient, you don't bother with cleaning boiled potatoes and carrots and cubes like cubes (and if you first boil or bake, and then chop in a cube, then the potatoes, as a rule, in places turn into porridge, even chilled in the refrigerator) ...
In a word - I recommend brown!

I cooked rice in a double boiler for 35 minutes. I washed the rice, put it in a bowl, filled it with boiling water and covered it with a lid. The steamer did not include. At this time she was engaged in fish. Rice well
swelled and absorbed half of the water, then placed the fish in the lower pan and turned on the timer for 35 minutes. Long-grain rice turned out to be crumbly, boiled.

Want a double boiler? Is it necessary? Here in YouTube I saw enough video, decided -PHILIPS HD 9170/91

and then I went to read you experts and broke off. Probably I don’t want to.
Tell me, do you steam dumplings? vegetables for salads? Can you put white-sided in a double boiler and cook?

[Galinka-Malinka]

Galinka-Malinka, a double boiler is the right thing. Take Brown (they have the same model). It is very simple and convenient.

Steam dumplings, cook vegetables for salads. I did not put Beloboku, but I think it is possible. After all, we cook all sorts of rolls and meat in different bags.

[Qween]

Qween For some reason, it seems to me that no one except me will eat from the steamer, that everything is fresh when spawning with a cuckoo. So I doubt it. But tell me not to put the chicken whole and standing in Brown?

Food from the steamer is generally not bland, and you can cook in the sauce.

No, the whole chicken won't. Maybe put a little chicken.

[Qween]

Qween They write that the more power, the faster it prepares, and in brown there is not a large power of 850 watts.
Don't cook pasta in a double boiler? For a salad - veggie vegetables cut into cubes how long are they cooked? And in general, how often do you use the steamer?

Brown is a very powerful steamer - starts cooking at lightning speed. After switching on, the steam goes almost immediately. At Brown, a special piece is put on the heating element, which quickly and efficiently helps the formation of good, powerful steam.

I cook vegetables in cubes for 15-20 minutes - this is with boiling water. That is, I set the timer for 15 minutes, then looked, and, if necessary, then add another 5 minutes.

I don’t cook pasta. I cook them most often in a cartoon on "Buckwheat".

I use the steamer all the time, it is in a prominent place, not in the closet.

it seems that I have no one but me from the steamer will not be, that everything is fresh on spawning with a cuckoo

For example, you can steam cauliflower and corn once and never again boil them in water. Steamed food has a very rich taste.

When there are multicooker and pressure cooker, and more than one, then you start to cook for a couple already in them, and the double boiler seems to become superfluous.
But I hate the fishy smell, and take it out of the multicooker afterwards, so I keep the steamer only because of the fish, we like steam the most.

When there are multicooker and pressure cooker, and more than one, then you start to cook for a couple already in them, and the double boiler seems to become superfluous.

I have a firm conviction, based on experience, that the "Steaming" mode very quickly kills the pan cover of my beloved Panasonic-18. I don't use it anymore as a double boiler. his saucepan slowly came to its senses, became smooth again and now I am saving it.

But such a model of a double boiler-blender will interest someone?

But such a model of a steamer-blender will interest someone?

Almost a processor

[Qween]

Qween Well, I kind of fish only red and only grilled. In a cartoon I cooked vegetables and chicken for salad. They don't like cauliflower very much, well, if I grill it in batter, then yes. But I don't even know steamed vegetables .... I haven't eaten tasty ones yet. / Damn, well, what to do then. I thought if for salads, dumplings, and white-sides, then you can take it. Probably you need to sleep with the Wishlist until morning, maybe he will switch over, or maybe he will want even more. But did you try to boil cabbage for stuffed cabbage?
