- The simplest device is a pan with poured water and a colander, strainer or wire rack located on top, in which the food to be cooked is located. Be sure to close it tightly on top with a lid. For additional sealing, you can wrap a towel around the edge of the lid. When water boils in a saucepan, evaporation begins, the steam heats up, moisturizes and brings food to readiness.
