Is it worth it? / Let me work it / I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it
We got creative:
Tools:
Two of our largest flatter pots with the highest domed lids
Flat tip Metal tongs to grip the plates
Lots of pot holders and trivets
Find appropriate mix of upside down bowl with a large flat plate on top that will:
1. fit in the pot under the lid
2. hold the most dumplings and not touch the lid.
3. Be able to contain enough water to generate steam for 10+ minutes
4. Water cannot touch the plate or be deep enough to make the plate float
How:
1. Get the water boiling
2. Cut and Place parchment paper on the plate.
3. Put bowls in the water
4. After water is boiling , carefully Put parchment covered plate on top
5. Add frozen dumplings (I could fit 12-15 on my Corelle plate)
6. Replace lid
7. Set timer for 10 minutes
8. Carefully open lid away from your face
9. Use flat tongs to grip the plate and remove to a trivet
You can reuse the same parchment paper.
We had a good rotation with four eaters and two pots/plates cooking at a time.
WORTH IT! Savory and succulent!
