Steam cooking is nothing new. Quite the opposite: the trend has been around for thousands of years in the Asian kitchen. Needless to say, this cooking technique is becoming more and more popular all around the world. And for a very simple reason: steamed food is not only healthy. Steaming is one of the best cooking methods for maximizing taste while retaining the most nutrients. The best part – it is super easy! With Wulcano, the new stainless steel steamer, it gets even better: it is specially made for everyday use and adapts to all of your needs. But how does steam cooking actually work and why is it better with Wulcano? Here are 5 reasons why you should start steaming your food with Wulcano:
Wulcano Benefit No.1:
Steaming only gently touches our food. The food never actually comes into direct contact with the boiling water, but it is the steam, fine droplets of moist hot air, who carries the heat. With the Wulcano stainless steel steamer, a special nozzle effect ensures that the steam reaches every level of the cooker.
Wulcano Benefit No.2:
Steaming improves your digestion. The steam not only carries the heat but also preserves the cellular architecture of cells of the food. Good to know, especially when preparing vegetables. Vitamins, that your body would normally have difficulty absorbing, are easier to digest. Although no oil is required when steam cooking, Wulcano recommends to always prepare the food with high-quality olive oil, in order the vitamins (especially A, E, K and D) to be optimally absorbed.
Wulcano Benefit No.3:
Steaming preserves the vitamins. Water is the enemy when it comes to nutrient losses during cooking. That’s why steaming is one of the best methods to preserve easily damaged nutrients, such as vitamin C. Studies have shown up to twice as many vitamins are retained during steaming.
With the Wulcano stainless steel steamer, you can steam your vegetables, meat and fish on separate levels simultaneously.
Wulcano Benefit No.4:
Steaming is effortless. Since the taste doesn’t get lost in the boiling water, there is no need to additionally season the food. Each level of the Wulcano stainless steel steamer stays intact, meaning the steam seals in the flavor it doesn’t dry out the delicate ingredients. We have tested the special steam nozzle for two years and repeatedly introduced the improvements.
Wulcano Benefit No.5:
Steaming is energy efficient. Credited as being one of the healthiest cooking techniques, the best part is that the process of steaming is super quick. The Wulcano stainless steel steamer goes even one step further. You will only need one hotplate to prepare the complete menu: cook the potatoes or rice in the cooking pot below, meat or fish on the first level and vegetables on the top. Best of all: you can’t actually burn anything.
To sum up: steaming is great, Wulcano is even better. In addition to the stackable, space-saving and strikingly beautiful design, the individual elements of the steamer are also versatile. You can use the cooking pot on its own, the steaming layers as serving plates and the steaming ring for baking. All the more reason to join the Wulcano steaming revolution! Our crowdfunding campaign will launch on the 20th of September at 8 pm internationally on Kickstarter!
