The Varoma is the ultimate tool for effortless multi-level cooking and gentle steaming. Whether you are locking in the vibrant flavors of delicate fish and vegetables for a perfectly juicy finish or steaming delicious family desserts, it does it all.
1. Did you know that you can steam cakes and cook rice right in the steaming layers?
You can easily cook rice or even a cake inside the Varoma. Simply use a heat-resistant cake tin or dish that fits comfortably inside the Varoma dish, ensuring the lid can close completely to trap the steam. Intrigued? Try our delicious Steamed Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream
2. Use the Varoma as a salad spinner
After washing lettuce, spinach, or leafy greens, place them inside the Varoma dish, pop the lid on, and give it a good shake over the sink to easily remove excess water.
3. Prepare delicious homemade yoghurts

4. Cook your ingredients to perfection
For multi-level meals, place ingredients that take longer to cook into the simmering basket or the base of the Varoma dish, and place quick-cooking ingredients on the upper Varoma tray. This ensures every component of your meal finishes perfectly at the exact same time.
5. Make more servings
Maximize your recipe yields by utilizing all three levels simultaneously. By using the mixing bowl, the simmering basket, and both layers of the Varoma together, you can easily cook a complete, large-format family feast in one go.
6. Drain vegetables and pasta
The Varoma dish is large enough to double as a heavy-duty colander. Use it right in the sink to drain boiled pasta, noodles, or blanched vegetables.
7. Line the tray with wet baking paper
Keep your steamed meats incredibly succulent while protecting the flavors below. Lining the Varoma tray with baking paper captures delicious juices and prevents them from dripping into the mixing bowl. Simply scrunch and wet the paper under running water first so it easily molds to the tray. Just remember to leave a few outer vents uncovered to allow the steam to circulate freely.
