Frozen products can be prepared gently in the steam cooker. Thanks to this method of preparation, a particularly large number of valuable vitamins and minerals are retained in frozen foods. In addition to gentle preparation, steaming frozen products is very quick and easy.

Cook frozen products gently using steam

Not only fresh food, such as meat, fish, and vegetables, can be prepared with a steam cooker particularly gently, but also frozen products can be cooked with the steam cooker.

When preparing frozen products in the steam cooker, however, it should be noted that the products should not be defrosted beforehand, but should be used directly in the frozen state.

The frozen food (vegetables, fruit, meat) can be put directly into the steamer and thawed gently at approx. 50-60 degrees. How long it takes to defrost depends, of course, on the food in question.

After thawing, you should take the food out of the steam oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Only then can you start the actual cooking process.

Info: Even frozen milk products or pastries can be thawed and processed again quickly.

Special features when steaming frozen products

If frozen products are placed in the steamer, care should be taken to reduce the amount of water added. This is because water has bound to ice in frozen products. If the food thaws through the steaming process, it releases the water again. This automatically increases the amount of water required for steam cooking.

The advantages of frozen food

Frozen foods such as vegetables, fish, and meat are mostly high-quality foods. This is because they are processed in a very fresh state and are immediately frozen. As a result, many valuable ingredients, such as vitamins and minerals, are retained in the food.

Frozen products are often even more nutritious than fresh foods, especially if fresh foods have been stored for a long time. Because of the storage time, many valuable ingredients are lost.
