In fact, Harvard Medical School recommends steaming as a cooking method for a healthy diet. In general, cooking meat at extremely high temperatures can be problematic (leading to the formation of compounds that may increase disease risk), but so can cooking for lengthy periods using methods that cause nutrient loss.

Meat and fish steam in 3-10 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the food. Since steaming occurs at 212F/100C and a good poaching temperature is 140F-170F, it takes less time to steam meat than it does to poach it.

All types of meat are suitable for steaming including seafood such as crab legs, lobster and shrimp, poultry and red meat such as beef and lamb. Choose smaller and thinner cuts of meat to allow them to steam-cooked faster. Some cuts of meat may have a label stating that they are “USDA-Certified Tender or Very Tender.”

“Steam ovens are great because they turn out healthier, more nutrient-dense food. The high heat of a traditional oven can destroy nutrients like vitamin C and folate. Steam cooking preserves them. Because steam is a more moist way to cook, you can also skip the oils you’d need to use in a traditional oven.
