Features of the model

1. The Babycook Original Steamer-Blender is designed for steaming food, chopping food, food, and also allows you to defrost and reheat food and food. For this, the device consists of two separate compartments: a steam generator (left) and a bowl with a blender basket (right), which are interconnected by a steam distribution pipe.

2. Fast cooking of vegetables, fruits, meat or fish. The cooking time depends on the density of the product, the degree of its cutting, its quantity, but not more than 20-25 minutes. Steam cooking preserves the vitamins and natural flavor of the food. In this case, the color of the products does not change, and their external deformation does not occur. This is how fruits and vegetables look after steaming for 20 minutes.

3. Grinding using pulsations, you can choose the degree of food processing, the desired consistency of the dish, homogenized puree, grated vegetables, mashed potatoes in pieces, which is achieved by the duration of the pulsations in time. For this there is a bowl with powerful knives, and on the device there is a special "blender" engine (on the right)

4. Removable cooking basket. The compartment of the cooker consists of two bowls: a mesh basket for food, and a large bowl where the condensed liquid flows after steaming, and which then serves for grinding the prepared food.

Thus, it is possible to drain the broth (for example, from meat, fish) remaining after cooking and remove it or pour it into another container. And then bring, with the help of broth, liquid, mashed potatoes to the required consistency. You can also add more hot water to the bowl if you want to make a thinner (potable) soup. Or add milk, cream (including vegetable), butter, spices, salt to steamed vegetables, and then beat the mass with a blender until the desired consistency of mashed potatoes or puree soup, and get a creamy cream soup. Or use this broth in other dishes, for other purposes, for making sauces, for example.

5. Ability to cook frozen vegetables in a double boiler, directly from the freezer, which will greatly reduce the cooking time. Including, when some fruits and vegetables lose their original color and consistency after defrosting, then when steamed, these fruits and vegetables will not lose their original qualities. The cooked food will retain its beautiful and attractive appearance, which is important when eating.

6. Possibility to combine products of various degrees of pre-processing in one mesh bowl. For example, raw potatoes, frozen vegetables, sautéed vegetables (onions, carrots, peppers, tomatoes), minced meat (or meat, fish in pieces, raw, or boiled), and then steam them.

7. Large mixing bowl.The mixing bowl with a blender has a large capacity of 800 ml! This equates to two servings of an adult cooked meal, puree soup. And you can cook any amount of puree in such a bowl, even 100 ml., The blender knives are strong and can handle both small and large amounts of food.

8. Automatic shutdown of the appliance after the cooking cycle and no need to monitor the process, after cooking the steamer will give a signal. The device gives the same signal when switched on, when starting work.

9. Water dispenser. It is designed to measure the amount of water required for cooking and pour it into the tank. For convenience, there are marks on the jug of the device, three positions of the volume of water. The device has a function in which the readiness of products is determined by its density, hardness (for example, meat and vegetables are cooked at different times). And the cooking time is regulated by the amount of water poured into the tank, which is quite enough. The maximum cooking time is about 20-25 minutes for 1-2 servings of food. And also in the instructions for the device there is a "table of correspondence of products and amounts of water / levels". Total levels 3 (reheat 1, cook 2)

And there are also instructions for sterilizing baby bottles and baby food accessories.

11. Locking the device. Since the heating temperature in the steamer reaches 100 * C, a safety system against scalding by steam and hot food is necessary. To do this, the device is equipped with a locking system for all compartments, and a steam generator, and a steamer bowl, and a blender. Locks are installed in the upper part of both covers of the device You should be aware that the device will not work without the installation of blockers. Therefore, you should check the connection system before switching on the device.

Practical use

I will show the practical application of a double boiler-blender by the example of making vegetable soup from frozen vegetables. There are fresh frozen vegetables: green peas, beans, pumpkin, sweet corn, large peaches.Additionally: salt, spices, coconut milk.

Babycook Original Steamer Blender

1. Preparation of the device.
Measure out the required amount of clean water in the bowl of the appliance (from the filter so that no scale builds up on the bottom of the steamer). I pour clean water into a bowl up to the 3 mark, the cooking time is 20 minutes.

Babycook Original Steamer Blender

Open the lid of the steam compartment, pour the measured amount of water into it, close the lid.

Put the food in the bowl, the required amount, a little of everything, cut into small pieces. If the vegetables are small, then you do not need to cut them.

Babycook Original Steamer Blender

Close the food compartment lid until it clicks to lock the steamer. If you do not lock the steam and grocery compartments, the device will not work, it will not turn on.

3. Turning on the device

Connect the device to a mains socket.
There are three positions on the instrument panel for connection to work:
- center - the device is in preparation
- on the left - steam, turning on the appliance and starting cooking
- on the right - blender, mash

Babycook Original Steamer Blender

We select the position of STEAM, turn the knob to the left, the light comes on and the preparation started

Babycook Original Steamer Blender

Now the device will emit a signal (to confirm that it is connected correctly) and will work in automatic mode until the water from the steamer tank has completely boiled away.
And after about 20-25 minutes, a second signal will sound about the end of steam cooking. The device will turn off automatically.

It should be noted that in this appliance, steam cooking takes place "from top to bottom", when a jet of steam penetrates the vegetables from above from the steam generator compartment. And thus, the hot steam passing through the vegetables cooks them, and the rest of the condensate, liquid, along with the juice of the vegetables, collects at the bottom of the large bowl of the double boiler, under the basket-mesh.

4. The work of the blender.

At this point, after the vegetables have been cooked, they can be put on a plate and used for food.

Note that the vegetables have retained much of their vibrant color and texture.
Carefully, using the supplied spatula, take out the net with vegetables and place on a regular plate.

I will turn the vegetables into a puree soup. To do this, I transfer the vegetables to the large bowl of the appliance, which contains the blender knives for wiping food.

When cooking vegetables, all the liquid goes down and collects there. I added the right amount of coconut milk to the liquid.

Babycook Original Steamer Blender

I put the prepared vegetables to the liquid, and the vegetables were lightly salted with aromatic salt with spices.

I cover the blender bowl with a thin lid, which is designed to prevent the mass from splashing out of the blender bowl during blender operation.

This position works in a pulsating mode, it must be supported by hand until the mass inside is completely processed into the desired consistency of puree (thin or crumbs).
I make to the state of "fine fine puree"

Ready-made puree soup can be poured into plates and served, garnished, for example, with white croutons. In the end, I got two servings of a full-fledged delicious vegetable puree soup with coconut milk
