The ultimate cheat's dinner: ravioli and sauce steam together on your mat while you get on with your night. Two minutes of effort, then hands-off.
Okay, this one is NOT on brand. But hey, sometimes life gets in the way and we can't cook from scratch, and for nights like that, I've got you covered. Put your ravioli and sauce on to cook, then go do whatever else you need to do. It takes 2 minutes to put on, 20 minutes of hands-off steaming where your presence isn't required, and then dinner is served. Not bad, hey?
The hero here is our Silicone Steaming Mat for Varoma. It holds the ravioli and sauce together while the steam circulates, so everything cooks evenly with almost nothing to wash up. Once you've got one, you'll wonder how you ever steamed without it.
