To make bread crumbs for deep frying, start by toasting bread slices until they are brown and crisp. Let them cool and then break them into pieces. Transfer the bread pieces to a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you want flavored breadcrumbs, you can add herbs, garlic, Parmesan cheese or other seasonings to the food processor before pulsing. You can use the bread crumbs immediately or store them in an airtight container for future use.
A steam grill is used to cook food using the combination of steam and direct heat. To use a steam grill, fill the water reservoir with water and turn on the machine to preheat. Place your food directly on the grill and close the lid. The steam generated from the water will cook the food evenly and add moisture to it. You can also add spices or marinades to the water reservoir to infuse flavor into the food as it cooks. Once the food is cooked, turn off the machine and remove the food from the grill.
