The most famous dishes in their cuisine are either raw (i.e., sushi) or fried (i.e., tempura or tonkatsu) but steamed dishes also make up a big part of Japanese gastronomical culture, and not just the part that comes from China like gyoza dumplings and nikuman pork buns. The Vitantonio Food Steamer allows you to explore this area of Japanese cooking without bamboo steamers and the fuss that goes with their cleanup. Just pick the steam size that best suits your cooking needs: the single-tiered or double-tiered version.
Both made from saturated polyester resin and silicone rubber, the Vitantonio Food Steamers are incredibly easy to use: just fill the tank with 500 ml (16.9 fl oz) of boiled water and set the timer to your preferred duration (the settings are 10, 15, 20, and 30 minutes). And if you just want to make eggs, these steamers also come with two special settings, one for soft-boiled and one for the poached eggs that you can get in hot springs all over Japan. Healthy, low-calorie cooking is just a few minutes away with these practical steamers!
