NESCO Food Steamer Makes Healthy Eating Easy

It’s the holiday season, and the time we all start thinking about our resolutions for the coming year. For many, that means getting healthier. NESCO makes a variety of kitchen appliances that can help with healthy eating goals—including the NESCO 5 Qt Food Steamer which provides quick, healthy meal options for the entire family.

Food preparation is a crucial step in a person’s healthy eating journey. Sometimes it’s not just a matter of what you’re eating, but how you’re preparing what you’re eating.

Steaming allows foods you’re cooking to retain more vitamins, minerals, and enzymes than other cooking methods. So the vegetables you’ve vowed to eat more of in the new year, are actually healthier than if you decided to boil or sauté them. Steaming also doesn’t require oil which can add unnecessary calories to a meal.

Steaming meats like lamb or pork makes for easier removal of fat than grilling, baking, or frying. Removing the fat from meats can lower calories and cholesterol, while still giving you the protein a healthy diet needs.

A Quality Food Steamer is an Essential Part of a Healthy Eating Journey

In the Food Steamer, water is heated in the bottom, and food is stored in sealed containers at the top. The steam from the water easily cooks food in a matter of minutes.

Vegetables, seafood, meat, poultry, fruits, eggs, and grains can be steamed in NESCO’s 5 Qt Food Steamer. Take this recipe for chili-spiced asparagus, for example. It pairs perfectly with delicate salmon fillets and, thanks to the steamer’s two BPA-free steaming bowls, you can steam them together at the same time.

“Because of the Food Steamer’s design, a variety of foods can be cooked at the same time without compromising flavor,” says Dan Kuenzi, senior vice president of sales & marketing at NESCO. “It’s all about quality, affordability, and convenience.”

NESCO is focused on family. Our products are designed to support you during weeknight meals or special occasions. While Thanksgiving might look a little different this year, it’s still a time to enjoy family, to love, and to savor the smell of delicious food filling the entire house.

For decades, a vintage NESCO Roaster Oven has been center stage at such gatherings. How has this simple kitchen appliance stood the test of time? Simple. It’s easy to use, convenient and can roast, bake, steam, cook, and slow cook right from your kitchen countertop.

Grab a seat at the table and make Grandma proud with our perfect roasted turkey recipe.

Easily Roast the Thanksgiving Turkey with a Vintage NESCO Roaster Oven

For almost 90 years, NESCO has focused on celebrating with food, family, and friends. The original Roaster Oven, created in 1931, remains a staple of convenience and quality in generations of families.

With patented “circle of heat” technology, meats like Thanksgiving turkey come out moist and tender with little to no fuss.

Preheat your NESCO Roaster Oven to 400° F. Next, place the cleaned, thawed turkey on a rack and spread with butter, browning sauce, and seasoning. Finally, let the roaster do the work! Turkey will usually take 15-20 minutes to cook per pound in a covered roaster while stuffed turkey takes approximately 45 minutes longer.

It’s really that easy. While your turkey cooks, you can focus your attention on preparing side dishes and spending time with the family, the true reason for the holidays. Tip: use the leftover juices in the roaster for Grandma’s famous gravy. For the complete roasted turkey recipe click here.
