Mesh Rack - Steam Cooking

Mesh Rack:

There are in essence 3 cooking surfaces in Turbo Cookware™. Each of these surfaces cooks within or benefits from being connected to the dome cover and therefore fully benefits from the Steamcooking ™ process. The 3 surfaces are the base, wire rack and mesh racks.

The mesh rack is constructed and formed of perforated steel (forming it creates the walls and base).
The base and top of the rack are reinforced.
The entire rack is chromed to ensure a long lasting surface.

The mesh rack can be removed by inserting a fork into the specially formed openings. The mesh rack locks under the wire rack and various food can be cooked on the mesh rack, above what is cooking in the base; smaller vegetables such as pees, corn nibblets and other such small vegetables, par cooked foods that have been started in the base. Foods that start on the rack but are then completed in the base. Couscous, rice and other fine grained foods as well as poaching foods such as fish and seafood.

As well food items such as breads, quick cooking vegetables etc can be prepared in the final stages of cooking and because both racks lock together you can cook on both racks at same time.

Because there is no “fan” creating the steam flow, it is limited to basically rotating within the cover and just below the area where the racks are positioned. What can only be described a thermal barrier is created between the upper and lower cooking areas. Since steam does not transmit flavours, food that cooks on the racks doesn’t mix flavors with what is cooking in the base. When the valve is open, steam travels thru the cover and flavors from the food cooking in the base can intermingle with what is cooking on the racks.
