Why steam differs from boiling
When you boil vegetables, part of the water-soluble vitamins passes into the water — and you throw the water away. With steam, the food never touches the water and keeps more of its nutrients, its colour and its texture.
The second practical point: no oil is needed and nothing sticks. There is no pan to scrub afterwards.
And the third: you cook several things at once on different levels, without the flavours mixing. Fish on top, vegetables below, rice in the dedicated bowl.
Where it performs best
Fish. It is arguably the best cooking method for fish — it stays moist and does not fall apart.
Vegetables. Broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and green beans keep colour and texture instead of turning to mush.
Baby food. It is why many parents buy a steamer: fat-free cooking and easy pureeing afterwards.
Diet and training. Chicken, rice and vegetables for a whole week, with no oil and no supervision.
What to watch
Limescale. A steamer boils water, so it scales like a kettle. Periodic descaling with vinegar maintains performance.
Time. Steam is slower than a frying pan. That is not a drawback if you know it — simply plan accordingly.
Storage. The baskets usually nest inside one another, so the appliance packs down far smaller than it looks in use.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it healthier than boiling?
- Yes, because water-soluble vitamins are not lost into the water. The food also keeps its colour and texture.
- Can I cook several things together?
- Yes, on different levels, without the flavours mixing.
- Does it need oil?
- None at all. And nothing sticks, so cleaning is minimal.
- Does it scale up?
- Yes, like a kettle. Periodic descaling with vinegar maintains performance.
If you cook fish, vegetables or baby food, steam gives a result a frying pan cannot. See the air fryers for the other oil-free method.
