Steps for preparing and cooking steamed cauliflower in the multicooker:
With a knife, cut off the bad leaves surrounding the cauliflower, detach the good ones, and place them in a bowl. Cut all the cauliflower florets and put them in the bowl (if they are large, cut them in half), chop the cauliflower stem into pieces and add them to the bowl.
Wash thoroughly under running water to remove all impurities.
In the multicooker basket, put 1 cup of water, add the steam cooking basket (any basket will do, we recommend buying a large one as the basket size is quite wide).
Add the prepared cauliflower, place the lid on the multicooker, close the valve, and set the STEAM COOK program to 248°F for 5 minutes.
When the cooking is finished, turn off the program, slowly turn the valve to release the steam, remove the lid (the advantage of the multicooker is that the lid does not open until all the steam has been released).
Remove the basket with the cauliflower and use them for your dishes.
If you don’t have a multicooker, you can make the same preparation with a pressure cooker.
