NITORI "Microwave Sweet Potato
Autumn is the season for delicious, sweet, baked sweet potatoes. The honey-like sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth texture is a taste only autumn and winter can offer.
I wish it were easy to make them at home, but it is not so easy. That's when "Microwave Sweet Potatoes" come in handy! It is a kitchen appliance that allows you to easily make steamed sweet potatoes in a microwave oven.
Just put it in the "Microwave Sweet Potato" container and cook it!
The "Microwave Sweet Potato" is a container that allows you to steam sweet potatoes under pressure. It has a double-layered structure with a drainer, and when you put a whole sweet potato in it and heat it in a microwave oven, the pressure effect makes it easy to produce delicious steamed sweet potatoes.
The parts are divided into three parts
First, place the drainer on top of the container, and then place the washed sweet potatoes on top. At this point, it is a good idea to poke a few holes in the skin with a fork to prevent the potato from bursting. If you want to make the sweet potatoes moist, add a small amount of water.
Stack the colander on top of the colander.
Add whole sweet potatoes.
Poke a few holes in the skin with a fork.
Close the lid tightly and place in microwave oven. Cooking time is 2.5 minutes per 100g (3.53oz) at 500W. Adjust the time according to the size of the sweet potato. In this case, I used 370g (13.05oz) sweet potato, so I cooked it for about 9.5 minutes.
The lid is dome-shaped so that large items can be placed.
Put it in the microwave as it is.
After heating, take it out being careful not to burn yourself... and you have steamed sweet potatoes! Hot steam will be generated the moment you open the lid, so it may be safer to let it cool down a bit.
soft and flaky (e.g. potatoes, beans, potatoes)
I tried it and found that the whole thing was heated through and the steamed potatoes were soft and flaky all the way to the center. The skin is not sticky because the colander drains the water well. The potatoes were hot and fluffy, with a concentrated sweetness.
The one that goes with milk~!
Vegetables and mushrooms
In addition to sweet potatoes, various vegetables can be steamed, including large ones such as potatoes, pumpkins, and corn, leafy ones such as cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and spinach, and mushrooms such as shimeji mushrooms and enoki mushrooms. Adjust the heating time depending on what you are steaming.
The potato butter is ready.
Microwave sweet potatoes are sold by Ebisu. This time I bought it at NITORI for 498 yen (tax included). The lid is dome-shaped, making it easy to put large vegetables in, the colander drains water well, and the product can be refrigerated or frozen as is. I think it would be very useful if you have one in your house!
