Pork cutlets steamed
Description
Pork cutlets cooked by steaming are very easy to prepare. I especially like this cooking method because there's no need to clean the frying pan and stove from grease, and then spend ages airing out the kitchen. The aroma of fried cutlets can be smelled even by the neighbors. The main secret to delicious steamed cutlets is to avoid overcooking them until dry. I am also a supporter of thorough heat treatment when cooking pork dishes, so I can confidently say: 20 minutes of steaming is quite enough to make the dish safe. I use a steamer basket in my multicooker. When I set the steaming function, the cooking time appears on the display. The countdown only starts once the water begins to boil vigorously. However, even during the heating phase, the cutlets are already being cooked. So overall, they are exposed to steam for at least 30 minutes. As a result, my cutlets turn out juicy, tender, and extremely tasty. I fried the portion of the minced meat that didn't fit into the steamer, and I have to say—the steamed ones were more delicious.
