tried it – was awesome!:D
Hi there…well im now learning how to cook and i would like to try this home made creme caramel instead of the all done moirs creme caramel lol
sorry to ask that,but what do you mean by put in a hot steamer? is it boiling water or something like that ?
Thank you for your comprehension to a beginner..well i would rather admit it a null beginner. thx.
Hi, Cherry! When you want to steam food, you have to let the water boil in the steamer first, and put the food to be steamed in the “hot” steamer. If you put the food directly in the steamer, without waiting for the steamer to get “hot”(i.e let the water boil first), then it will take a long time for your food to cook. You can compare to an oven. You have to pre-heat the oven before baking. Similarly, you have to wait for the steamer to get “hot” before steaming. I hope it helps
Oh yeah thank you so much
its now very clear, stupid me
