Norpro Deluxe 3-Piece Bamboo Steamer Set

Norpro Deluxe 3-Piece Bamboo Steamer Set Review



Norpro Deluxe 3-Piece Bamboo Steamer Set Feature

  • Each tier measures 2.75 inches/7cm height and 10.5 inches/26.5cm diameter
  • Works best in a wok, frying pan or stockpot
  • Add herbs to the water and the food will soak up the aromas of the herbs, enhancing the flavors of your meal
  • Soak the bamboo steamer in cold water for a few hours before using
  • To clean bamboo steamer, rinse with water and dry thoroughly. Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil to keep bamboo from drying out
Norpro's three-piece bamboo steamer set could steam a whole meal. At 10 inches in diameter and 6-1/4 inches high, it is large enough for eight pork buns (there's a recipe on the box) on one level and a mound of broccoli, carrots, and snap peas on the other. Just put the steamer in a wok or frying pan that has a little water in it. Then arrange the food in the steamer, cover, and heat the water.

Steaming is a remarkable healthy cooking style--it uses no oil, retains more vitamins and nutrients than other cooking methods, and helps seal in moisture. The lowest tier of the steamer will cook foods more quickly, so use it for larger items. Wash the steamer by hand, and give it a thin coat of vegetable oil after washing to keep the bamboo from drying out. --A.J. Rathbun Steaming enhances natural flavors while retaining valuable vitamins and nutrients. Steamed foods are self basting, so moisture is retained. A clean, quick and economical method of cooking. The lowest tier for meat or fish; side dishes and vegetables in the upper tier.

Schmitt 20L Gairtopf German Fermenting Crock Pot - ME3220 Feature

  • Fermenting Crock Pot 20.0L - Full 20 Lter Fermenting Capacity
  • German quality stoneware made using liquid slurry poured clay - Sturdier and Lighter
  • Ceramic Clay fired at 1200°C with a lead free glaze.
  • Ceramic weight stones eliminates mold
  • Includes Crock, Lid, Pressing Stones, Instructions
Fermenting Crock Pots Make natural nutrition-packed sauerkraut and pickled vegetables with this stoneware crock pot from Germany! Through the years, sauerkraut has been recognized as one of the healthiest foods, and was even used on sailing ships to protect sailors from scurvy. In just 4-8 weeks you can have delicious sauerkraut from all typed of vegetables like cabbages, pumpkins, cucumbers, carrots, beans, beets, celery, onions and peppers. Recently in the news, sauerkraut and pickled vegetables fermented the natural way with lactic acid fermentation are being credited with correcting bodily imbalances of intestinal flora, leading to problems including acid reflux for which doctors often prescribe harsh antibiotics. Natural lactic acid fermentation is one of the oldest and healthiest means of food preservation. It allows natural, beneficial bacteria to perform a fermentation process in which vegetables develop a pleasantly sour taste and remain rich in vitamins and minerals. Lactic acid fermentation is the only method of preservation that retains all the natural plant ingredients while improving the quality, taste and aroma. These beautifully crafted stoneware crock pots from Germany produce 5.0 Liters of pickled vegetables very simply. The use of ceramic weight stones eliminates mold while the clever water sealing system allows fermentation gasses to escape without allowing air to enter the crock pot. Simple instructions for use and recipes are included. What's Special about Schmitt Crocks? Schmitt crocks are German quality stoneware made using liquid slurry poured clay. This process creates a stronger and lighter weight crock for easier handling. Traditional fermenting crocks had a bottom to lid-top capacity of 5 liter. You couldn't fill it all the way or the pressing stones wouldn't fit. The Schmitt crock has a full 5 liters of fermenting capacity, so the crock is actually larger than 5 liters The Schmitt fermentation crock has a special cast g

  • This crock comes with the PRESSING WEIGHTS (Stones)
  • Terrific for making Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Pickling Vegetables
  • Comes with A Beautiful, hand crafted ceramic crock, Ceramic Lid, & Weighing stones,
For many years, pottery and ceramics have been proudly made by the hands of highly skilled craftsmen in Boleslawiec, Poland. One of the products these craftsman produce using traditional ceramic techniques is the Fermenting Crock Pot. Each crock is handmade and decorated using a unique method of hand-stamping. They are made from regional, enriched vitrified* clay providing a very strong, yet elegant building material. The pot is finished with beautiful lead-free glazes. These crocks are built to produce sauerkraut, Kimchi, pickles and other fermented vegetables for many years. *Vitrifying is a process that fuses the clay particles to a very hard, inert, glass-like state. Polish Fermenting Crocks are designed with an airtight water-sealable cover to foster a fermenting process that reduces the need to repeatedly open the pot to scrape off surface mold. Simply pour a small amount of water into the channel along the top of the crock, put the top in place to allow gases to escape and keep oxygen out Natural lactic acid fermentation is one of the oldest and healthiest means of food preservation. It allows natural, beneficial bacteria to perform a fermentation process in which vegetables develop a pleasantly sour taste and remain rich in vitamins and minerals. Lactic acid fermentation is the only method of preservation that retains all the natural plant ingredients while improving the quality, taste and aroma. To determine which size pot is best for you please remember you can only fill a pot to 80% of its total capacity.

Doulton 10" Super Sterasyl Ceramic Gravity Filter Candle W9121709

Doulton 10" Super Sterasyl Ceramic Gravity Filter Candle W9121709 Review



Doulton 10" Super Sterasyl Ceramic Gravity Filter Candle W9121709 Feature

  • Replacement ceramic filter for gravity filter systems
  • Super Sterasyl outer ceramic shell, Activated carbon inside
  • Filters are self steralizing and re-cleanable
  • 10" in length. Includes rubber washer and wing nut.
  • Fits Royal, Imperial, and Crown Berkey systems. Will NOT fit Big Berkey.
Doulton filters use the age-old process of micro-porous filtration used by nature coupled with modern state-of-the-art technology and the highest quality materials to produce one of the finest water filtration systems available anywhere. At the core of the sub-micron ceramic filter is the most basic of elements: Diatomaceous Earth. This is the same substance, which artisans refine into exquisite porcelain and pottery. The microscopic pores of the ceramic filter element make it an extremely efficient filter for the reduction of particulate matter, pathogenic bacteria and fine sediment from water. Minute particulate matter will quickly plug media style filters, but the ceramics have the added benefit of being re-cleanable and re-useable. The Super Sterasyl element utilizes the latest technological advances of ceramic filtration by incorporating pure silver impregnation into the porous ceramic shell to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Furthermore, the Super Sterasyl ceramic filter elements contain activated carbon, which reduces unwanted chemical and organic compounds from the water while also improving taste. Each filter can be cleaned many, many times before needing replacement. If using tap water, the filters will normally only need to be cleaned every 6 months. You will know when your filters need to be cleaned because the filtration rate will slow down. To clean, simply rub the filters with a scotch-brite pad under running water.
