The steaming insert takes your VitAir air fryer to a whole new level by allowing you to gently prepare vegetables, meat, and fish. Desserts such as sweet dumplings and steamed puddings are a breeze.The principle is simple: small amounts of water, broth, or stock are vaporised under low heat to cook food slowly and gently. This type of cooking largely retains the nutrients and flavours of your ingredients.Simply add liquid in the pan and insert it into the air fryer, then place the steam basket on the grill. With numerous air passages, the flow of steam is evenly distributed between and around the food as it cooks.The size of the steam plate is sufficient for cooking food for up to four people in one pass. This accessory is completely made of stainless steel, making it extremely durable and easy to clean.
