The Steamer is excellent for porridge. You can mix it up and jump in the shower – 7 minutes without the need to stir and it wont boil over!

Ingredients:

1/3 cup Wholegrain Rolled Oats (not quick Oats)
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
Pinch sea salt
2/3 cup water or half water/half milk to your preference

Method:

Mix all together in your serving bowl. Place on wire rack on Steamer only 100% 7 minutes.
Bowl will be hot at the end of the cooking time. But no saucepan to wash!
Add 1tsp of LSA mix, milk and your favourite fruit – Delicious and warm!

I served with Stewed Apples but also great with Winter Fruit Salad

Steam oven rice

My Combi Steamer has now made my old Rice Cooker obsolete!

Perfect Steamed White Rice OR Perfect Steamed Brown Rice

1 cup white or brown rice, washed well
1 1/2 cups water (Brown Rice needs slightly less water, say 1¼ cups)
I like a pinch of salt

100% Steam 17 min OR 15 min if adding items (see below) Brown Rice cook for 40 minutes.

Remember the general guide for increasing the quantity is ‘quantity of rice to liquid plus 1/2 cup extra liquid for white rice and 1/4 cup extra liquid for brown rice.’
I opened the door and added fresh Char siu Pork for another 2 min. Sometimes I also add my vegetables then too. Two min is all you need for these additions. Delicious served with Hoi sin and Chilli sauce 😉

Stewed Apples

Here I have used my Combi Steamer just as a Steamer for Stewed Apples.

6 Granny Smith Apples
2 tbsp sugar or honey
1tsp Cinnamon

100% Steam 6 min

No water was added but you can see that the apples are moist and have been cooked in their own juice. Delicious with my porridge that i will cook in the steamer for breakfast.
