Taro is usually steamed 15 minutes. Specifically, it is necessary to distinguish between slicing and steaming equipment:

1. Slice taro and steam it in a steamer. Usually 15 minutes later. Because taro itself has a high density, it is best to steam it in slices when steaming, and the heated area of slice steaming is larger, so steaming 15 minutes can be steamed thoroughly;

2, the whole steamer on the taro, generally need to steam for 20 minutes to fully cook. Because the whole taro is heated slowly, there is no need to cut it, and it takes more time to steam it to the temperature inside the taro, so the whole steaming time will be longer;

3. Steam in a rice cooker or pressure cooker, and it only takes about 10 minutes to cook. Because the pressure of the rice cooker or pressure cooker itself is high, the steam cooker itself is heated more strongly and it is not easy to leak, so the time for steaming taro will be greatly shortened. Generally, the cooker can be steamed in cold water for 10 minute.

Is it better to steam taro in cold water or hot water?

Steamed taro is generally recommended to be steamed with hot water, not cold water. The reason for this is the following：

1, steamed taro in hot water is more fragrant. Many people think that steaming taro in cold water will be faster, so it should be steamed in cold water. In fact, steamed taro in cold water is not as delicious as steamed taro in hot water, because the heating time is too long.

2. Steamed taro in hot water is soft. Because taro itself is very dry and contains little water, there is no water vapor when steamed in cold water, and some water will be volatilized during steaming, which makes taro dry and hard to bite, and its taste is not as soft and delicious as hot water steaming.

How delicious is taro steamed for a few minutes?

On the premise of steaming taro, the faster it is steamed, the better it tastes, because it can retain more fragrance and lose less water. Therefore, it is best to steam in a pressure cooker or rice cooker first, and the time should not be too long, otherwise it is better to steam.

Tips for cooking "steamed taro";

(1) When steaming taro, it is recommended to peel and cut into pieces before steaming, instead of steaming the whole taro, because there are many cracks in the taro skin itself, even if it is cleaned, it is easy to leave bacteria or dirt, which is unsanitary and difficult to steam thoroughly.

(2) Steamed taro should be eaten while it is hot, otherwise it will be cold, dry and hard, and taste very bad.

(3) Although taro is delicious, it has no special taste. It is suggested that students dip steamed taro in sugar to eat together, which tastes best.
