At full speed
Way to heart of the man, it is as though banal did not sound, lays through its stomach. The way of the woman to a beautiful figure, as a rule, is thorny and that passes either through diets, or through an exercise room, and, both, and another is almost always painful!
Where to find that "golden mean" which will give flavouring pleasure to the beloved, and the loving lady will leave symmetry and the full absence of a remorse caused rather high-calorie вкусностями which have been eaten during a joint supper? The majority of products, actually not too high-calorie, become those because them either fry, or extinguish, adding thus fat or oil, probably, sour cream. Or, here still a lack of traditional cooking: water in which always all cook, takes away all vitamins and minerals which can make even more beautifully a skin, hair and other components both female, and man's, beauty! And if all time to prepare on pair in a usual pan it, at least, is not too tasty...
All these reflexions also have led me to double boiler purchase – a modern combination on a theme «is tasty, it is useful and is inexpensive». This subject of house utensils will help to cook useful and vitamin-rich food of the house, moreover and without the superfluous efforts connected so that «has not burnt, has not escaped, that has not stuck» and more many with "not".
In general, the double boiler is very multipurpose, it can be used and for defrosting of products, and for a fast warming up of meal and if you have already learnt happiness of motherhood and at present stay in the status of young mummy the double boiler in your case can be used and for a warming up of small bottles too. I was involved, for example, with one more feature of this deserved working woman of kitchen work: after processing by steam products practically do not lose natural colour and the form therefore remain bright and appetizing. Besides, the meal turns out really tasty.
However in the Chelyabinsk shops, I if it is fair, have become puzzled of that variety that was offered: Scarlett, Tefal, Braun, Binatone... And thus a difference in the prices at times essential enough. It would not be desirable to pay superfluous, but also on my kitchen it nothing the poor-quality technics.
The very first, on what would be desirable to pay attention is a capacity of a double boiler. The more your family, the, accordingly, should be and capacity of this universal "pan" more. Double boilers usually happen to one, two or three baskets for cooking. If you like to indulge the with several dishes during a family meal or anticipate next populous «a stomach holiday» is better to buy a double boiler with three baskets. Baskets can be the different form and, that is extraordinary convenient at storage, to be put each other by "nested doll".
At the further survey it is necessary to pay attention to the pallet. Better if them will be a little, especially, if you do not want, that prepared in the first, bottom bowl have become impregnated with juice of products from the bowls which are above. If you have become interested in a double boiler with one pallet, and mixture of tastes and aromas is undesirable, the products which are above, it is possible to shift in a so-called bowl for the rice, calculated on small groats, i.e. not containing apertures.
To conversation on the pallet: it is desirable, that it had handles that you have not burnt the! Such criterion as a transparency of a steam basket, personally for me it is not too essential: in the course of glass cooking strongly mist over also probability of that it will be possible to observe of that as as there prepares, it appears лищь illusion.
Here on what it is necessary to look, so it on what height the pallet. If it too «small growth» it will add to you of efforts – it is necessary to merge some times accumulated condensate, differently water can follow.
Following advantage of a double boiler – electronic type of management. With such management there is a possibility to "order" ready food by certain time as there is a function of a delay of preparation of meal. It is convenient, when you leave the house for some time, and would like, that the meal has started to prepare directly ahead of your arrival. But, despite all visible advantages of double boilers with electronic control, the mechanical control where is easier so more functionally. The device operating time is established not by means of the panel and repeated manipulations with buttons, and by means of the standard timer setting quantity of minutes, that on time is more advantageous. Literally one movement!
Still us the aperture for долива waters in a food preparation time interests. After all, that the double boiler normally worked, the heating element should be shipped in water a minimum on half. If waters becomes too little, the device will automatically be switched off. Not essentially, of course, but very conveniently, when there is an external indicator of a water level.
Well, and at last, volume of steam baskets. At different models of double boilers it, as a rule, fluctuates from 1,5 to 3,5 litres, volume of a bowl for rice – from 0,7 to 2 litres. Basically, practically all modern double boilers are capacious enough, but pay attention to volume of a bowl for rice, it can appear too small for your big and amicable family.
The Chelyabinsk shops have almost pleased with the prices for household appliances, for example, a double boiler of Russian origin «Ирит-5020», bought in shop "АВИС", will manage to lovers of healthy food in 706 roubles. Less democratic prices shops "M.Video" and «ЛОГО» have caused a stir. For example, double boiler BORK FS ECP 98100 BK costs 4290 roubles, and double boiler Braun FS 20 – 1790 roubles. However, and there there were inexpensive models: Moulinex MV 100030 (990 roubles) and Novex NS-7002 (too 990 roubles). The home appliances shop «УралДом» also is quite democratic, for example, double boiler Binatone FS-202 900Вт will cost 1017 roubles.
So the prices at us in a city quiet enough, and for pleasure of a healthy food it is not necessary to pay expensively at all.
