Steam Cooking Principle:
The cooker utilizes a unique steam circulation system. No additional water is typically added directly to the ceramic pot for steam cooking. Instead, water in the main boiler heats up, creating steam that condenses on the tower pot cover and drips back into the ingredients, forming a rich, condensed soup. This micro-pressure steam coagulation process ensures the soup is clear and not greasy, preserving the original flavor and nutrients.
