steaming tips
• Pre-cooked pasta is easily reconstituted, and gives
you a hot product without the wetness of the normal
“dip” method.
• Experiment with your products and different steam-
ing times–a little more or less steam could change
the appearance/flavor.
• if you serve melted cheese on sandwiches, steam
is the perfect way to melt cheese.
• a steamed bun (which takes about 10-1 seconds)
says “Hot sandwich” to your customer.
• Vegetables, rice and bread products can be recon-
stituted by steaming before serving which reduces
waste.
• Dinner rolls, muffins, even tortillas can be heated
completely and held without drying out the product.
• use a low plate or pan when steaming to allow full
steam penetration and shorter cooking times.
• condensation inside the steamer is normal, but
excess moisture indicates too much water is being
used.
• Heat meat and bread products apart from each
other, then combine in a sandwich. this will keep
the meat juices from soaking the bread.
• finish off a special meal with a steamed hand
towel–hot without excess moisture.
