Title: I dont use my varoma very much
Post by: Halex on June 12, 2012, 09:24:11 am

Can I make a white sauce & steam cauliflower in the varoma at the same time? Sorry clueless

I always do it separately.

No Hally, the sauce is cooked at 90^o and steaming is at varoma temp.

Have a look at some of the recipes in all-in-one meals Hally.

You need the varoma temperature to steam things.

Don't you even use the varoma to steam your vegies Hally?

I always steam my vegies before roasting them. Also, when cooking rice or potato in the basket, I have vegies in the Varoma.

We have steamed veggies most nights with the varoma and steaming basket. Its so easy.
And having 2 bowls I usually prepare all the veggies in the bowl, Varoma and steaming basket while the mains are cooking in the TM (depending what we are having of cause)
I love steamed veggies :)

I've used mine twice this week which is a bit of a record for me. Very proud of myself!

Good for the weight loss challenge Mandi ;)

I want to start using our Varoma more for steaming chicken and seafood, but I have just mastered how to steam them perfectly in our new oven and I don't want to risk trying them in the Varoma and overcooking them. That would just ruin a lovely piece of fish or chicken.

It would be fair to say that a chicken is exactly what I am :-))
