Brilio.net - Steaming is one of the cooking techniques that is widely used. Some food ingredients or menus are even tastier when cooked by steaming. This cooking method can make the texture of food ingredients softer quickly. Apart from that, the minimal use of oil means this method is often considered healthier than other cooking techniques.
However, steaming food basically requires a special tool , namely a steamer. This steamer pot or cormorant is designed with a flat filter placed in the middle. So, the water vapor that comes out will cook the food ingredients in the filter.
This steaming method can only be done if there is a special steamer or pan . Therefore, many people find it difficult if they want to steam but don't have a steamer.
But actually, you don't always have to use a steamer or steamer if you want to steam food, you know. There are other tools you can use as an alternative.
An Instagram user @ummubalqishaura once shared a steaming trick in an anti-mainstream way.
Instead of using a steamer or special steaming pan, he instead relies on an ordinary pan. However, there is one additional cutlery that is used so that the steaming process can run as if using a steamer.
Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @ummubalqishaura on Monday (5/2), the cutlery used is a spoon. Yup, this spoon will basically be used as a substitute for a filter. So, later the food ingredients on the plate are placed on top of the stack of spoons that have been arranged.

So, how to use it, just prepare a regular pan. Then arrange five aluminum spoons (heat resistant) upside down and opposite each other. This pile of spoons must be able to produce a round shape, yes.

Next, carefully pour enough water. Make sure the spoon doesn't get scattered because of the water. If so, place a plate on top of the spoon. So, the size of this plate must be smaller than the width of the pan so that there is room to release hot steam which will then cook the food ingredients. In addition, the plate must be heat resistant, such as ceramic.

If so, you can add the food ingredients you want to steam. In the video, Instagram user @ummubalqishaura places vegetables that have been sliced. After that, immediately cover the pan and turn on the stove. That way, the vegetables will cook because of the hot steam produced. Just like the steaming method using a steamer pan or steamer.
