On a note
It is possible to steam cutlets even if there is no multicooker or double boiler. You can use a special rack with holes for steaming, or you can do without it. To do this, pour a couple of glasses of water into a deep frying pan or a low saucepan, put a metal colander (or grate) on top, make sure that the bottom of the colander does not touch the water, put cutlets on it, and cover with a high lid or metal bowl on top. If a colander or grate is not at hand, the cutlets can be put in a pan with high sides and a thick bottom, add a little water so that it does not completely cover them, cover and cook over the smallest heat.
