Comparing a steamer and a multicooker: cooking methods and capacity
Steam cooking appliances have become the most popular choice in modern kitchens. SSPDaily has prepared a comparison of steamers and multicookers.
Cooking Methods
A steamer primarily uses steam for cooking, while a multicooker offers a variety of cooking methods, including steaming, frying, stewing, pressure cooking, and baking. This versatility allows you to cook a wider range of foods in a multicooker.
Capacity
In terms of capacity, steamers often have multiple tiers or compartments that can hold more food. On the other hand, multicookers typically come with a single pot that has a large overall capacity, making it more suitable for one-pot meals or serving large groups of food.
Convenience
When it comes to convenience, the multicooker takes the lead. The programmable settings, digital display, and additional features such as delayed start and keep warm make it incredibly easy to use. This is especially convenient for people with busy schedules or those who prefer to precisely control the cooking time.
