Rice bowl

The presence in the delivery set of a special bowl designed for cooking porridges from cereals that need to be filled with water, in particular rice and buckwheat. The bottom of the rice bowl has no openings, which allows you to pour the right amount of water into it. Heating occurs due to the steam produced by the steamer.

Power

The maximum power consumed by the steamer during the cooking process; in many modes, the actual power consumption may be lower, but you should focus on the maximum power. The more powerful the device, the more intense heating it provides, the faster the water in it will heat up to the desired temperature and the more powerful the release of steam, which is useful for large volumes of cooking. On the other hand, high power usually affects the cost, and power consumption increases accordingly.

Functions

Fast heating. Allows you to start cooking almost immediately, without wasting time on waiting and preparing.

Thermostat. Many dishes require cooking at a stable temperature, in strict accordance with the instructions of the recipe. The presence of a thermostat allows you to maintain a constant temperature in the steam baskets or change it at a given time in accordance with the cooking program in some steamers.

Autocooking. Allows you to cook according to the programs built into the steamer. At the same time, the duration of operation, temperature conditions (including temperature changes at different stages) and other parameters are controlled by the steamer, and you do not have to monitor the parameters and change them manually.

Auto-off timer. A special device that turns off the steamer after a predetermined time. The presence of a timer will allow you not to worry about the quality of cooking and eliminates the need to monitor the time: the steamer will turn itself off at the right time.

Delay start timer. A timer that allows you to turn on the steamer not immediately, but after a certain specified time. This provides additional convenience: for example, you can load the device in the evening and set the start time for the morning — in this way, the porri...dge will be ready for breakfast, and you will not have to get up earlier to “load” the steamer.

— Water level indicator. It allows you to constantly monitor the water level in the steamer and as a result, ensure that the necessary cooking conditions are correctly observed. Many steamers provide for adding water if it is not enough.

— Possibility of adding water. The lack of water during cooking can lead to disastrous consequences - in particular, the dish will be cooked in a completely different way than the owner of the steamer expected. The possibility of adding water allows you to correct the mistake in a timely manner.
