A microwave oven that can heat various ingredients speedily. However, it tends to be difficult to use for cooking such as steaming Chinese steamed buns and warming bread. Moisture may fly too much or become hard, and the taste may be spoiled.
A steamer is a device that can heat while supplementing water, but if it is large, it tends to be difficult to store. Especially when I live alone, I hesitate to buy it. Introducing cooking utensils that respond to such a swaying heart. This is "
Utime 3 Mini Steaming Pot 14cm " (DZ-2004) developed by Kai.
What kind of product?
Kai "Utime 3 Mini Steaming Pot 14cm" is a convenient pot when you want to steam a small amount of ingredients. A set of 3 items, "upper pot", "lower pot", and "lid" with a hole in the bottom.
When using, put water in the lower pot and then set the upper pot. Turn on the heat and bring to a boil, add meat buns and broccoli, and steam for a few minutes to a dozen minutes to complete the cooking. Compared to using a microwave oven, the meat bun is much more moist and fluffy! The evenly cooked broccoli has an exquisite texture and a tightly packed, strong taste.

It is firmly fixed and there is no wobbling
It is also recommended to make "steamed eggs" instead of the standard "boiled eggs" for breakfast. Then, after steaming the eggs, lightly warm the bread with the remaining hot water, and you will have a hot and fluffy menu. It doesn't contain general bread, but it's just the right size for mini bread and bread rolls. If you remove the upper pot and use only the lower pot, it will be useful for warming the retort pouch (about 100g (3.53oz)) and cooking a small amount.

What are the precautions?
It's all stainless steel and has a clean feeling, and the water boils quickly, but be careful that the knob on the lid and the handle of the pot get hot. It is necessary to grab it with a cloth as appropriate, but I tend to forget it and touch it with my bare hands. Also, it is more convenient to see the inside of the pot, so I think it is a good idea to prepare a separate glass lid.
It's a little inconvenient for the lid knob to get hot
And while this is the fate of a small pot, the stove's firepower needs to be modest. Even if the recipe says "15 minutes on high heat", it can only be done on medium heat, so I'm wondering if I should extend the heating time. Even if you fail to cook a little, it is a small amount, so it is a cooking utensil that you want to use comfortably and patiently.
Be careful of the outflow of fire
