I discovered I had a forgotten steamer sitting on a shelf in my pantry. It's like finding a new toy that was never played with.
I rushed out to Sam's Club and grabbed some of the Nathan's hot dogs which are the same as they serve in their restaurants. I like them and wanted to try making my own.
Problem is I couldn't replicate the Sam's Club flavor at first. No matter how long I steamed them, they weren't the same. Eventually, they would split apart while still not tasting the same.
So, I thought about what happens to Sam's hot dogs (they sit) and switched to a steam/warm/steam/warm method of 5 mins. on and 5-10 mins. off. After an hour of this, I had a hot dog that was pretty close to what Sam's sells. The sitting time matures the flavor.
Now, I want to see what else I can steam. Anybody have good results with steam cooking and suggestions?
Lobster? Corn? Rice? Etc.?
