Why can an entire meal be so quickly cooked, while to cook potatoes it already takes 15 minutes to heat the water and then another 20 minutes to cook them ?
Thanks to the combined power of its two heating elements (1700 W), your ATTITUDE cooker heats the water in the tank to ± 100°C, in only 2 minutes. That’s when the cooking begins. Savings in time and energy, because as soon as the water starts boiling, one of the 4 thermostats inside the steamer automatically turns off one of the heating elements to keep power at 860 W, which is the power needed for producing the steam during the cooking of the foods.
If I completely fill the basket, will it take more time to cook ?
No, because the two main elements present in the ATTITUDE Steamer are going to give you an excellent result. First, the perforations on the side walls guarantee a continuous flow of steam if the steam can’t penetrate through the bottom’s perforations. Second, the heating power ensures a production of steam such that the foods remain continuously in a refreshed steam flow, the guarantee of a constant caloric heat exchange between the steam and the foods.
Is steam dangerous for kitchen furniture ?
If your furniture is made of plywood panels, which is always true for inner panels and walls, steam coming in direct contact with the panels will be absorbed by the wood and could damage them by swelling. So direct the steam toward your hood or to the middle of the kitchen. That way your furniture won’t run the risk of getting damaged.

Is steam cooking reserved for a dietetic cuisine ?
What’s the difference between cooking with water or steam ? One might think it’s the same. WRONG … It is true that the result in both cases is to have cooked foods. But, thanks to your multi-cooker, no preheating of 4 or 5 liters of water for 15 minutes. Vegetables will preserve all their vitamins, mineral salts and especially their fibers. And, when you have added your favorite sauces or your preparations after cooking, you will be eating vegetables with tastes and flavors uncomparable to those cooked in water.
Is the unit expensive ?
Yes, initially, it does represent a small investment … But we calculated from an energy viewpoint that your electric bill alone will be reduced by 405 euros after a year … another week of vacation !! 3 pans on 2500 W plates for ¾ of an hour a day, 360 days a year, represent 436 euros on your annual electric bill. The ATTITUDE Steamer rated at 1700 W for 2 minutes (preheating) and then 860 W for 30 minutes for 360 days a year represents an annual electric bill of 31 euros.
