The functionality of the two-in-one steamer-blender

Devices that combine the functionality of both steamers and blenders, are becoming more common every year. Such devices are especially useful and convenient when cooking for children. Their compactness saves space in the kitchen, and the possibilities to classify devices as “2 in 1” are used when there is a desire to abandon a variety of home appliances in favor of one, but at the same time reliable and practical.

Advantages and disadvantages of the device

Not too many people use steam boilers in principle, and although in recent years healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle have become more and more popular among young people, few people think about the possibility of using various home appliances to help with daily cooking.And if they think about it, they acquire autonomous apparatuses for individual culinary processes. It can be just a combine, just a blender, or just a double boiler.

And in fact, there is another, more attractive category of devices that can combine various functions in one system. One of such options is the blender double boiler.

Among advantages The use of blender-steamers can be identified as follows:

1. Convenience and ease of cooking (thanks to the combined functions of the two devices).
2. Compactness.
3. Simple design that allows you to independently disassemble the device in cases of need (for example, for washing).
4. High mixing speed due to high power.
5. Maximum preservation of nutrients and nutrients in products in the cooking process.
6. Steam treatment is effective.

The device is not deprived and deficiencies:

1. It is forbidden to put too hard foods in the bowl, including frozen ones.
2. There are restrictions on the volume of raw materials placed in the tank.
3. To obtain a homogeneous mass, it is necessary to hold the “Shredding” button for a few seconds,then also return it to its original position for a few seconds. This ensures that there is a necessary pause between inclusions.
4. It is necessary to thoroughly dry the components after using the device, since the blades in the absence of proper care begin to rust very quickly.

Cooking process

It is easy and simple to prepare food for the child with the help of a double boiler-blender:

• Cut the peeled and thoroughly washed products into cubes.
• We place them in a special bowl.
• Pour as much liquid into the water tank as necessary.
• Turn on the "Steam" mode and wait for the process to complete.
• We turn the bowl over and with the help of the Blender function we crush the contents.

What to look for when buying

Before you buy the device, pay attention to the points that should be noted:

1. Is important bowl material. Glass is more effective and reliable, but it is easy to break it at the slightest blow. Plastic has no such disadvantages, but over time, poor quality plastic becomes cloudy, and the bowl becomes unusable.
2. Capacity volume for products also matters.If you have one child in your family, and you cook only for him, then in this case a small bowl will suit you. In large families, where the appliance is used not only for baby food, but also for preparing all sorts of tasty and healthy dishes for everyone, the same bowl size will obviously not be enough.
3. Blender power - another significant point. The more powerful the blender, the faster it copes with its duties and the more universal its scope. Low-power devices often cope only with the grinding of vegetables and fruits.
4. Also pay attention to number of nozzles in the set - will you have enough of them to cook everything that you love.

Care device

Descaling is a compulsory and regular procedure that allows you to significantly extend the life of the product and increase its efficiency.

The cleaning process itself looks like this. First you need to make sure that the device is disconnected from the mains. We choose a cleaning method, traditionally one of two is used - citric acid or vinegar. In the first case, it is necessary to dissolve 10 grams of acid powder in a glass of water,in the second - 50 ml of table vinegar in 150 ml of water.

Next, you need to fill the tank for liquid with the prepared mixture and turn on the steam mode for 5-7 minutes then drain the solution from the container and rinse it with running water. After that, re-pour the liquid, but in this case, just water in the amount of 1 cup, and start the operation of the device for 2 full cycles. The product container, of course, must be empty.
