May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage month. We celebrated by preparing dumplings in our CVap® ovens. It’s always fun to scratch cook. But we cheated a little with these. Frozen premade dumplings are delicious and easy. We prepared two distinct types: Bao – Fluffy steamed buns. These are traditionally stuffed with a pork mixture.
Nutritionists have long preached it – we need more vegetables in our diets. Consequently, we wanted to test how CVap® ovens would perform when roasting or vapor blanching a range of vegetables.
