Tefal Convenient Series VC145130

The French company Tefal has been pleasing housewives for more than a decade by getting rid of routine kitchen chores. Take, for example, the steamer named VC 1451, which helps to prepare food that is healthy for the figure and the stomach, with a minimum of effort.

Stainless steel bowls

The key advantage of the model over its “classmates” is stainless steel in the materials for the manufacture of steam baskets. They are durable, resistant to high temperatures and do not impart a "plastic taste" to food, as often happens with inexpensive steamers. Regularly Tefal VC 1451 is equipped with two steam containers and a separate bowl for crumbly cereals.

Intuitive controls

The controls of the steamer are represented by a single swivel wheel of a mechanical timer, which is located exactly in the centre of the front panel of the base. To the right of it , pictograms with hints about the approximate cooking time for a couple of “traveling” product categories are “cut out”, and even to the right is a window indicating the water level in the tank. In one sitting, the water tank holds 1.5 liters of liquid. In case of depletion of its reserves, it is possible to add water directly during cooking.

healthy eating

The only complaint about the device is the small capacity of the drip tray. After 30-40 min. holding "steamed" meat dishes, juices and fats from them can overflow and get into the water tank, which does not have the best effect on the operation of the heating element of the steamer. On other fronts , the model leaves a purely positive impression after a close acquaintance, which puts Tefal VC 1451 on a par with the most popular kitchen appliances for adherents of a healthy diet.
