The food pyramid
Balance in practice: An explanation of the food groups
T
o simplify our nutritional needs, it is usual to classify foods into
7 groups according to their principal components and their
particular nutritional benefits. Ideally, a food from each group should
be consumed daily. However, it is possible for the body to adapt and
postpone a temporary deficiency in a food group, provided that it is
compensated for in the days following.
…Eat less fat, less sugar,
less salt, but more fruit,

BALANCED NUTRITION
The VitaCuisine steamer allows you to prepare a tasty and well
balanced meal in one easy step. Thanks to the individual baskets and
cooking tray, vegetables, rice, fish, meat, fruits and desserts can be
cooked simultaneously.
PRESERVING VITAMINS
The steamers's gentle yet quick cooking system retains more vitamins
and micronutrients.
LESS FAT
Steam cooking is ideal for fish, chicken and lean meat. The specific
cooking tray helps retain the essential fat, Omega 3 in oil-rich fish
like salmon, sardines, mackerel, trout, herring, and fresh tuna.
MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
The steaming process is easy and efficient. Steaming can help to
increase your daily consumption of fruit and vegetables.
Now you are ready to create a delicious and well-balanced meal in one.
The following recipes include a balance of health conscious dishes
plus some good traditional favourites such as Chicken Supreme and
Steamed Sponge Pudding. We hope these inspire you to create even
more dishes in your Tefal Steamer.
Get steaming!
H
ealthier, more nutritious dishes may easily be prepared by
steaming and the results are colourful and naturally flavoursome.
The true versatility and benefits of steaming can now be explored.
Your Tefal steamer is suitable for most foods and a surprising
variety of recipes.
Benefits of steam cooking
Welcome to the world of Tefal steam cooking!

Water
It is the first requirement for the body, before even food. Indeed,
water is the only essential drink. The daily requirements are estimated
at approximately 2.5 litres for an adult, half of which comes from food.
It is necessary to drink at least 1.5 litre of water per day, preferably not
all at mealtimes, and should be taken as one or two glasses every hour.
Cereal, starchy products and dried vegetables
These are cereal products (bread, pasta, couscous...), rice, starchy foods
(potato) and dried beans and pulses (lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans...).
They are the energy based foods thanks to their high content of
complex carbohydrate or sugars and form part of the requirements of
vegetable proteins. Dry and starchy foods, such as cereals, rice or dried
vegetables should be consumed at least once per day, and bread, can
be eaten with each meal.
Fresh vegetables and fruit
Fresh vegetables and fruit contain minerals and vitamins, fibre,
carbohydrate, and water. They can be eaten raw or cooked, almost at
will. Vegetables and fruit have similar nutritional qualities and you can
replace one for the other. However, neither fruit nor vegetables supply
the total requirements for vitamins and minerals: so consuming food
from a variety of food groups is important for a nutritional balance.
Dairy products
With remarkable nutritional content, dairy products in particular
provide: protein, which has nutritional value and are easily digestible,
and calcium, essential for growth and preventing osteoporosis. A diet
deprived of dairy products can never ensure the required daily intake
of calcium, vitamins A, D and group B.
Meats, poultry, fish and eggs
They are the principal food source of protein and iron. They must
be consumed twice a day from different sources: fish, poultry, pork,
eggs, and red meats.
Fats
These are oils, butter, margarines, which ensure supplies of:
saturated fatty acids (source of energy),
unsaturated fatty acids and essential fats
(for manufacturer and repair of cells)
liposoluble vitamins A, D, E, K..
This group are essential for a good balanced diet, provided that they
are consumed in moderation and taken as vegetable oils, with a high
polyunsaturated fatty acid content.
Sweetened products
This group, represented by sugar and sweetened products, is different
from the preceding groups because they are not essential for a good
balanced diet and sometimes, for those with diabetes, it is even
advised against them being included. Characterised by its quickly
assimilated sugar content, this group of “pleasure" foods should only
be consumed in moderation.

T
here are a few rules, which should be followed when steaming to
obtain perfect results every time:
Before steaming: Pick the right ingredients!
Ensure ingredients used are of the best quality and in perfect
condition.
When choosing food for steaming, select suitable size food to fit in
the steaming basket, especially if is to be cooked whole such as fish.
For best results, use pieces of food
that are approximately the
same size (such as
potatoes, vegetables
and chicken breasts)
so that they can cook
at the same time.
The size and
thickness of the food
will alter the cooking
time. Likewise when
cooking larger
quantities of food the
cooking time will be
increased.
During steaming:
Do not pack food too tightly in the steam baskets. Leave some
space for steam to circulate as much as possible.
Place meat, poultry and fish on the specially designed
cooking plate.
Avoid frequently lifting the lid to check on the cooking progress,
as this allows loss of steam and can lengthen the cooking time.
If you do need to open the lid (e.g. to add more food), press the
VITAMIN+ touch pad again to quickly return the steamer to the
ideal temperature.
Subtle flavours can be given to steamed food with the addition of
herbs, slices of lemon or orange, garlic and onion. These may be
placed either underneath or on top of the food in the steaming
basket or the cooking plate. To give meat, poultry and fish a
delicious flavour, marinade the food for a few hours before steaming.
The marinade can be as simple as a blend of wine and herbs, or it
can be a spicy barbecue or tandori mix.
Cover food with cling film, the type recommended for use in
microwave ovens and freezers, to prevent condensation forming and
spoiling delicate foods such as egg custards or when heating ready
made sauces. Using foil tends to increase the steaming time.
Frozen vegetables can be steamed from frozen. All fish, poultry
and meat must be completely thawed before steaming.
For recipes that require longer cooking time, such as steamed
puddings, you will need to top up with more cold water
during steaming.
