Boiling and steaming might seem simple, but they have some challenges.

Boiling:

• Temperature Control: Keeping the right temperature can be hard. If the heat is too high, your food might lose nutrients and taste.
• Overcooking: It’s easy to overboil delicate foods like vegetables, which can make them mushy.

Steaming:

• Equipment Dependency: You need a steamer or a special setup, and not everyone has these in their kitchens.
• Timing Issues: Figuring out how long to steam food can be tough, which can cause uneven cooking.

If these methods aren’t done just right, you might end up with disappointing meals. To avoid these problems, think about getting a good thermometer. Also, using timers can help you cook more accurately.
