Cuisinart STM-1000XA Cookfresh Digital Glass Steamer Instructions

COOKFRESH™ DIGITAL GLASS STEAMER

The CookFresh™ Digital Glass Steamer is an indispensable tool for day-

to-day healthier cooking – enjoy the benefits of steam cooking by retaining more of your food’s natural vitamins, minerals and enzymes simply and effectively with this steamer.

By cooking your favourite fresh produce with steam you lock in their flavours and nutrients with hot vapour trapped in an enclosed area surrounding the food. Opposed to simmering in water and the nutrients leaching out, or baking and roasting with extra oil, butter and fat

adding to your calorie intake. Steaming assists in softening the fibres

of vegetables and fruits, making them more easily digestible, so your body can absorb all that healthy goodness better. This also means your fish, vegetables, or fruits will be juicy and tender and not soggy (as long as you don’t overdo it!).

With the CookFresh™ Digital Glass Steamer it has a powerful steam system that delivers full steam from the top down ensuring rapid heating resulting in no preheating. The 5-litre glass cooking dish is large enough for family-size portions of a whole fish and vegetables, and better yet, it can be served in the dish, straight to the table. Healthy cooking will always be trending and this glass steamer from Cuisinart will make it your go-to for quick and easy but also delicious and nutritious meals.
