## Washing out

Too much water mixes flavours and washes out soluble components such as vitamins, volatile and fatty acids. Trace elements as well as colours and the taste of the vegetables are lost.

The tight seal and the heat-conducting pot walls of the **Vacuum Steamer** enable cooking with very little water. This reduces the risk of leaching to a minimum.
