Hi Everyone.
I am new to the world of thermomix and my oven has broken!
Anyway I got out the freezer a couple of days ago a roll of lamb and was wondering if its possible to cook in the veroma (so pretty much steam it).
Does anyone have any ideas or tips and how long it should take.
Many thanks Hayley <><

I'm not sure what the texture would be like, but if it fits in the varoma tray you could definitely steam it. I am guessing at least an hour of actual steaming time (when varoma temp is reached), but somebody may have a more accurate guide.

It would be handy if you had a meat thermometer top test when it was cooked.

I would try and do something like either of these with it

or try and stuff it maybe to help with some more flavour. I wouldn't have a clue on the times though. How much does it weigh? I would try and google perhaps steaming meat and the weights, then bear in mind that the Varoma is a gentler steaming process than food steamers. That might give you a guide.

Let us know how you go!

Probably too late for you now Haley but Bron's Salt Baked Pork in the varoma is the biggest piece of meat I have steamed (apart from a chicken). I don't know that you would need to salt the lamb roll - you would need far too much salt anyway to cover a roll of meat. Just thought the times might give you a guide for your piece.

Someone was telling me the other day they do roasts in the Varoma - just brown it first in a large frypan, all over, then steam for 40 mins to an hour, depending on size. She said it was lovely and tender, and the browning improves the flavour and colour, and makes it quicker to steam.

That's great to know Jo.

I've done lamb in the varoma. I have rolled it in cumin and saffron, put it on a layer of parsley and whole garlic cloves and steamed it for about 1/2 an hour per 500 grams. At the end I brown it off in butter quickly to improve the look. I think it is better to brown at the end.

I've also steamed beef and it comes out beautifully.

Steamed pork in char sui sauce however is FOUL!. I've been doing pork ribs in black bean which come out divinely but ummmmmm, not so much with the char sui.

Hi Salome, welcome to the forum. Nice to read your comments - any bits of information help our members.

When I went to a Smeg demo for my oven , they demonstrated how to cook pork in their steam oven. All the demonstrator did was brown the pork to give it colour and then steamed in the oven. It was delicious and at the time I thought their steam oven was awesome. I never even thought about trying this in the Varoma, but will have to give it a go.

I LOVE this forum. Every time I've had a question or wondered how to do something, I can always find the answer in less than 5 minutes!

I'm going to try this tonight with a topside stuffed roast. My father in law killed a steer off his farm and because it's not fatty, I've tried slow cooking, slow roasting and normal roasting and the roasts have all been a bit tough. This is the last roast I have so hopefully Thermy will make it FANTASTICO!

I think I will go with Jo's suggestion of searing it first to seal in the juices and then cook it for about an hour. Wish me luck! Will report back how it was in the morning :-)

It was delicious!

I stuffed it with mushies, bacon, spinach and some fetta, seared it to keep the juices in and then cooked it on Varoma for 1:45mins. It was just over 2kg and probably 90 mins would have been enough. But it was very tender and the best roast we've had off the steer!

Thanks for the review ClareN - another thing the varoma can now do successfully

I'll bet the flavour was wonderful being directly from the farm.
