The winter favorite of skiers: steam dumplings

Steam dumplings are the favorite food of the ski season. Imagine the snow-covered mountains, where skiers sit in a cozy restaurant after a sunny winter day and rest their efforts over a plate of steamed dumplings. It's no coincidence that this dish is so popular in catering: it's simple, yet tasty, and perfectly warms you up on cold winter days.

But what is the secret to the success of steam dumplings? Well, not that just anyone can do it! Although we are talking about simple and great food, it does not matter who, and how makes it!

Don't forget that most versions require jam, and it doesn't matter how thick or sour it is. (And, of course, it goes without saying that homemade jams are much better than store-bought versions!)

Another important factor is proper steaming. This is where the Gassner dumpling steamer comes into play (as we already predicted in the introduction). Because it doesn't matter what device you use. After all, you can't leave it to chance that the dumplings have a perfect texture and taste. During steaming, you must pay attention to the temperature and timing so that the dumplings are neither too hard nor too soft.

And we can't leave without saying the vanilla sauce, which makes the food even more special - if it's well prepared!

What makes steamed dumplings heavenly (and healthy)?

Did you think that steamed dumplings are not only delicious, but also healthy?

You don't need oil to make it with a steamer, which means it contains little fat. Yes, this means that we can get away with eating fewer calories while enjoying the richness of flavors. In addition, steaming preserves the nutritional content of the raw materials.

But how do you make the perfect steamed dumpling?

The first step is to choose fresh, high-quality ingredients! The dough should be light and airy (for this you need a reliable kneading machine). The filling can be traditional, such as plum jam, but you can also experiment with new flavors, such as walnut or poppy seed filling. (Grind nuts and poppy seeds at home with the nut grinding head and the poppy grinding head that can be combined with the Assistant stand mixer!)

And be sure to use a steamer that provides even heat distribution so that the dumplings are perfect on all sides. Pay attention to the steaming time: they should not be too soft or too hard.

Finally, a lot depends on the serving as well! A little powdered sugar, vanilla sauce or just a little fresh fruit can be the perfect addition to steam dumplings.

As for the technical data: you can control the steaming temperature from 30°C to 110°C, which allows you to perfectly prepare not only steamed dumplings, but also other dishes (we will return to this later). And overheating protection and safety glass ensure that you don't have to worry about safety during use.
