- Grease the bottom of each molder (In this recipe, I used large molder). After resting the mixture, pour some mixture to the molders. Fill only 3/4 of the molder as it will rise as you steam. Then, top with cheese or choice of topping (you can use salted egg also)

TIPS FOR FAIL-PROOF PUTO
Tip #1: Make sure na okay pa ang baking powder mo.
Isa sa mga causes kung bakit nagiging parang kutsinta ang puto ay dahil sa baking powder. Either luma na, nakasingaw na or sira na. So make sure na okay pa siya. Pano malalaman? Buhusan ng around 1/4 cup na mainit na tubig ang 1/4 tsp na baking powder. Pag nagbubbles siya, okay pa.
Tip #2: Yung ilalim lang ng molder ang pahiran ng oil or butter
Para maachieve yung dome appearance, yung ilalim lang ng molder ang pahiran ng oil. Wag na yung gilid. Pwede rin na wag na i-grease at all pero there are some instances na dumidikit sa ilalim ng molder ang puto so para maiwasan pero tyak na tutubo ang puto, yung ilalim lang ang i-grease.
Tip #3: Lagyan ng tela or cloth ang takip ng steamer
Minsan, pag natutuluan ng tubig mula sa steam ang puto, nadedeflate ito. Para maiwasan, lagyan mo ng tela ang takip.
Tip #4: DO NOT OVERCOOK
Isa pang cause kung bakit mukhang kutsinta si puto ay dahil sobra sa steam. Nag-iiba iba ang steaming duration base sa lakas ng apoy, sa laki ng molder at kung gaano kakapal ang mixture mo. In my experience eto ang steaming time na alam ko: LARGE (14-15 MINUTES) MEDIUM (11-12 MINUTES) SMALL (8-10MINUTES)
TIP #5: Yung hindi masyadong tunaw ang cheese
Kung gusto nio ng shiny pero mukhang melted ang cheese, gumamit ng matagal matunaw na cheese gaya ng Quezo. Ang cheese gaya ng Eden, mabilis matunaw habang nassteam (kaya minsan mukhang durog after masteam). Kung sa tingin mo mabilis matunaw ang ang cheese mo, sa pahuli mo na ito ilagay. For example, ang steaming time is 15 minutes, ilagay ito sa 12min mark, takpan ulit at ituloy ang steam hanggang sa matapos ang steaming time.
