How does the Varoma work?
The Varoma works by generating steam to cook your food. It consists of a steaming tray and a lid that holds in the steam. The Bimby has a built-in heating element that produces the steam. When you set the desired temperature on the Bimby, it heats the water in the mixing bowl, creating steam that is then directed into the Varoma.
What temperature does the Varoma reach?
The Varoma can reach temperatures up to 125°C (257°F). This high level of heat is ideal for steaming various foods, including vegetables, fish, poultry, and even desserts. The steam helps to retain the nutrients and flavors of your ingredients, resulting in healthier and tastier dishes.
It is important to note that the Varoma temperature can be adjusted based on the recipe or the type of food you are cooking. The temperature can be set using the Bimby’s control panel, allowing you to customize the cooking process according to your preferences.
How long does it take for the Varoma to heat up?
The time it takes for the Varoma to reach the desired temperature depends on various factors, including the amount of water used, the starting temperature of the water, and the specific model of the Bimby. In general, it can take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes for the Varoma to heat up and start producing steam.
Are there any tips for using the Varoma?
Yes, here are a few tips to ensure the best results when using the Varoma:
