Hi Skinnies,
Sarah here, would you believe I had never ?steamed? anything until I got a Thermomix!!  And now it is one of my favourite methods to cooking vegetables, proteins and even desserts.
We often see comments and questions saying that people have never used their steaming trays/ varoma, or asking how they can use their whole machine more.
Using the steaming trays is a great way to use all of your machine, avoid using your stove top or microwave, to bulk out any meal with extra veg to serve more people and a great way to have a complete meal, cooked all at the same time!  Steaming your food locks in the vitamins and minerals making our meals more nutritious and healthy.
A few tips for Steaming success: –

You do need to have the temp high enough, the time long enough and enough liquid ingredient in the bowl to generate enough steam to cook food in the steaming trays. Following recipes is a good way to get to know what your machine needs, so is consulting your user manuals and cookbooks.
When placing food in the steaming trays you need to ensure that steam can still flow through.If they are too crowded, you will end up with uneven cooking.  Turning or rearranging food halfway is sometimes required as well.

Below is a list of my favourite Skinnymixer recipes using the steaming trays.
Enjoy, Sarah xx
