Some steamers have a special spout through which you can add water right in the process - this is very convenient.
Step 3
Then you need to select the foods that you will cook in the steamer. The cooking time for which the timer will be set depends on this. If the food is defrosted, the meat is cooked for an hour, for the fish 30 minutes will be enough. Hard vegetables such as beets are cooked according to size for at least an hour. Frozen vegetables will be enough for half an hour.
