A simple guide on how to prepare a steamboat at home<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Get your hands on good steamboat equipment<\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

Before you go all out, you must first ensure you\u2019ve got the right steamboat apparatuses. This means getting a reliable cooker that can boil and cook all your steamboat ingredients. In Singapore, most coffeeshops and hawker stalls opt for portable <\/span>gas stoves<\/span><\/a> for better heat control. However, this requires regular replacement of <\/span>gas canisters<\/span><\/a> which is often a hassle. To avoid this, do yourself a favour and get a <\/span>portable induction cooker<\/span><\/a> instead. <\/span><\/p>\n

In particular, we recommend the Mayer Steamboat Induction Cooker MMIC1619<\/a><\/span>\u00a0(available on <\/span>Mayer Official Store<\/span><\/a>)! This Mayer induction cooker <\/a><\/span>comes with a user-friendly knob and eight power levels for easy operation and efficient cooking. Want to enjoy two steamboat flavours at the same time? If so, remember to get the\u00a0Cornell Yuan Yang Pot<\/a> (available on Cornell Singapore Official Store<\/a>)! Alternatively, go for the IONA 2 In 1 Steamboat and BBQ Grill<\/a> (available on Iona Official Store<\/a>) to have the best of both worlds!<\/span>\u00a0If you\u2019re still undecided, be sure to check out our comprehensive list of the<\/span> best steamboat pots in Singapore<\/span><\/a> to cook your ingredients in!<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Pick your favourite broth<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"steamboat

Gone are the days when you had to spend countless hours brewing your favourite <\/span>broths<\/span><\/a> with stock! From tangy <\/span>tomatoes<\/span><\/a> to umami <\/span>mushrooms<\/span><\/a>, there are countless pre-packaged <\/span>soup bases<\/span><\/a> available for you to choose from. Here are some recommended brands for the best soup bases in Singapore to steep your steamboat ingredients in.<\/span><\/p>\n
