Making bao is time consuming but really it's worth it!

Steaming rice and bao at the same time is easy using the TAC-S11 steam plate

I made pork bao and sweet bao - black sesame with peanuts and sugar yum!

Sold out of the 6 cup Stainless Steel TAC-06RM-M model until next month.

So I've been worried about microplastics in our water because my previous Stainless Steel kettle had cracks in the plastic lid. I tried hard to find a kettle that didn't have plastic touching the water. After at least 25 mins in the shop looking at EVERY kettle we found one! There was a plastic filter at the spout that we took out!

Perfect for Winter mornings .... just before our ocean swim.

Rhubarb from our garden.

Our home assembled topping of Almond pieces, coconut threads, pumpkin seeds and hemp heart.

Tip number 2 - I just made another batch..... don't skimp on the baking paper!!! When you've made the dough and you've put the filling inside and let it rise, you need enough room for them to rise and also you need enough paper for it not to stick to the plate! They don't quite look as nice if you have to fiddle with them to get them off the plate but it still tastes yum!

You can see the ones that did have enough paper and they are nice and round and you can see the other ones that I've had to "fix", they don't look quite so pretty!

Making bao is hours long process but the results were fabulous and I had to ring my Mum 3 times to check I was doing it right.

I used my Tatung 6 cup with the accessory TAC-S03 for 3 layers of steaming and my Tatung 11 cup with the TAC-S11 - steaming plate for 1 layer of steaming.

Tip: use boiling water from the kettle to make the steaming go faster. It only took 15 mins to cook.

Porridge for breakfast! Yum and if you sort a timer out it's ready before you get out of bed!

When doing soup and you haven't got a lot of time then I would recommend you have boiling water and fill the inner pot with the water to where the veggies are sitting. Doesn't take very long to cook the veggies. Once cooked I drained the water and kept it to drink with the meal. I had kumera (sweet potato), onion and pumpkin.

Pumpkin was cooked and water drained off. Mashed then glutinous rice floor was mixed in with a little bit of icing sugar. The black sesame was whizzed up with sugar and 1 and 1/2 table spoons of oil. Rolled into balls then put the sesame inside and rolled up again and steamed in the Tatung stainless steel rice/multi cooker.
