What are the advantages of cooking with a steamer pot?

If there is something that cannot be denied, it is that when you talk about steaming you always speak well of it. The motives? Its great advantages over other traditional cooking methods. To give you an idea, here are 5 of the ones we like the most:

• Steam cooking is more respectful with some nutrients such as vitamins, present in food and essential for our body.
• When cooking with the steam of the water and having the pot closed, the juices released by the food contribute to its cooking, improving and enhancing its flavor.
• As steam cooking only uses water, fat is not added during cooking as it does when frying or even on the grill.
• The texture and flavor of food are key to enjoying a good meal. In this regard, steam cooking is the method that most respects the texture of food.
• As the steam pot remains inside the steam from the cooking water, it does not let the heat escape, reducing the cooking time.
