Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker Food Steamer
Customer Review: EXCELLENT VALUE...Myriad uses, built to last!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've actually had this steamer for several years (9, maybe?) and use it at least several times a week. Although it's no longer the prettiest appliance, it never fails to deliver! I use it for so many things. Rice and other grains cook in it well, and one of my favorite uses for it is to make a flourless steamed chocolate cake (I'll provide the recipe below). It's been getting rave reviews from guests and family for years for me, and no one knows how easy it is!
I also use this as a "sauna steamer" for facials from time to time, as I had purchased a steamer for this purpose some years ago and found this is actually a better appliance for it.
I am seriously impressed with this product, as it is so reliable and well-made for such a low price. Definitely one of my favorite appliances of all time!
Flourless Steamed Chocolate Cake (for your steamer):
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup milk (I use Silk soy with great success; you can also replace or cut this with a liqueur of your choosing. Creme de menthe is a favorite for us)
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup white sugar
1 (12 oz.) package semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsalted butter
5 eggs
DIRECTIONS:
1. From your steamer, grease the inside handled bowl and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat combine the milk, salt and sugar. Stir until completely dissolved and reduce heat to low. Add in chocolate chips, and stir until melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool a bit. Cut in butter, and then slowly temper in eggs, one at a time.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared bowl, and cover loosely with waxed paper or foil, and place mixture in steamer. Set timer on steamer to 45 minutes. After cooking, the center of the cake may still appear uncooked. It's okay. Chill the cake, very loosely covered (I use a clean kitchen towel) for several hours, or overnight if necessary.
4. Place the bowl in a shallow pan of hot water for a few seconds to remove the cake easily. Serves up great with fresh whipped cream, fruit, or even a nice caramel sauce!
