it says here you u can!!!!!!!!!!! by someone using a tefal electrci one!!
...........I got it home and wanted to try it out immediately. Naturally, I couldn't think of anything to cook. Fortunately, the steamer comes with a handy little recipe book dedicated to steamed food. I fancied pasta, so I followed the instructions to make myself a pasta and cheese meal.
The steamer itself consists of the base, a drip tray, three tiers, a handle for removing the base of the tiers without burning your fingers, and an a rice tray. To cook the pasta, I had to fill the base with cold water to the marker point, put the pasta into the rice tray and cover with cold water, place the tray into the lowest tier and put the lid on. Then I set the timer to 15 minutes and left it to work.
The steam begins to rise almost immediately. 15 minutes later I was alerted to my cooked meal by an alarm. I then had to tip the pasta into the tier to allow it to drain, then serve it up with cheese.........
altho i might try it sometimes, i can cook pasta no prob in a saucepan!!!
