If I am steaming, does it really matter what speed the blades are turning at?
And if yes, how do I know what speed is best for what?

Tasty, some recipes only give a low speed when using the varoma but I like to use speed 3 or 4 to get a good volume of steam. I generally use 3 but if the varoma tray and bowl are really full, will use speed 4.

Judy is perfectly correct.

What Judy says. I use 4 probably all the time but then again my varoma is always chocca's (both bowl and tray!)

I didn't realize this would make any difference. Thanks for letting me know.

I have just used speed 1 for all this time. Will see what difference speed 4 makes

I always use speed 4. It generates a good amount of steam because the water is going higher and faster. If you have TM on a very low speed, your food will cook a lot more sloooooowly
That has been my experience anyway

After reading all this, it makes sense so I will use 4 more often.
Now just to get a varoma demo without having to drag friends into it.
