    Sweet potato is the sweet potato that is usually eaten, which is a food with high starch content, can be eaten as a staple food, and can be laxative**, but steaming sweet potato is relatively time-consuming, I don't know how long it will take to steam it to ripen thoroughly?

    1 How long does sweet potato steam.

    Depending on factors such as the size and heat of the sweet potato, the specific steaming time is determined.

    If you put the sweet potato whole, take a whole sweet potato with a length of 10 cm and a width of 5 cm into an ordinary stainless steel pot and steam it as an example, after the water is boiled, continue to steam it for 15-20 minutes over medium-low heat to be cooked, but if the sweet potato is cut into pieces or a sweet potato the size of a finger, the steaming time is relatively short, usually after the water is boiled, it can be cooked thoroughly after steaming for 10 minutes.

    Suggestion: After lifting the lid of the pot, poke the sweet potato with a chopstick to see if it can go straight to the end, if it can be passed, it means that the inside of the sweet potato is soft and glutinous, and it is ripe through.

    2 Steam sweet potatoes with cold or hot water.

    Hot water is faster. From the point of view of edible taste and nutrients, there is not much difference between hot water and cold water steamed sweet potato, and it will not affect the taste and nutritional value of sweet potato after steaming, but from the perspective of steaming time, steaming sweet potato with hot water will make sweet potato ripen faster, because compared with steaming sweet potato with cold water, the method of steaming hot water reduces the time for water boiling, thereby shortening the time it takes to steam sweet potato, so steaming sweet potato with hot water is faster.

    3 Steamed sweet potatoes whole, or cut in half.

    It depends on the size of the sweet potato.

    If the sweet potato is cut and half steamed, the nutrient loss is not much, and the method of cutting reduces the size of the sweet potato, so that the steaming time is also shortened accordingly, which is more convenient for eating and cooking later.

    4 It is better to peel or not peel the steamed sweet potato.

    It's good not to peel it. Peeling of steamed sweet potatoes not only easily leads to oxidation of the flesh inside the sweet potato, which affects the appearance of the sweet potato after steaming, but also leads to the loss of nutrients such as some sugar in the sweet potato, so that the sweet potato tastes not so sweet, and the sweet potato will taste more wet and sticky after peeling.

    5 Quick steaming method of sweet potato.

    Steam in the microwave: 4-5 minutes.

    The microwave oven emits an electromagnetic wave that can rotate more than 200 million times per second, so that the water and other polar molecules in the food (such as fat, protein, sugar, etc.) are driven by the electromagnetic wave, and then rotate at such a high-speed frequency, so that the temperature rises sharply in a short period of time, so that the sweet potato is evenly heated from the inside and ripened quickly.

    Method. 1. Wash the sweet potatoes to be steamed, peel and cut into pieces.

    2. Then put it in a microwavable bowl and pour a small amount of water appropriately to prevent the sweet potato from being steamed dry.

    3. Put the sweet potatoes in the microwave oven, and they can be cooked for about 4 minutes on high heat, if the amount of sweet potatoes is relatively large, they can be cooked for another 1-2 minutes.

    It is best not to eat sweet potatoes if they are not fully steamed, because sweet potatoes contain more nutrients, if they are not fully cooked when steaming, it is difficult to be decomposed by the human body after eating, and it is easy to have uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating and nausea, so it is best to extend the steaming time appropriately when cooking sweet potatoes.

    How to choose sweet potatoes:

    1. According to your own taste. There are generally two varieties of sweet potatoes, white and yellow, and the yellow sweet potato is relatively long, with a pale pink skin and a sweeter taste.
