STEAMING

For steaming fresh and frozen vegetables, all actual cooking time

will be affected by the moisture content of the vegetables. Also,

personal preferences should be considered. If you like more

crispiness, use less time and adjust the amount of water, for softer

vegetables, use a longer time and more water.

1. All vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and washed

before steaming.

2. Thin, leafy vegetables such as cabbage do not require as much

water as root vegetables such as carrots or turnips.

3. You might want to use a steamer basket to hold the items being

steamed.

4. Add sufficient water and set the temperature control to

STEAM.

5. Wait for a few minutes. Put the vegetables into the basket and

place the basket into the enameled pot, without the handle, then

put the lid in place.

6. Do not remove the lid during steaming as moisture will escape

and the cooking time will have to be extended.

7. If the lid is lifted add about 1/4 cup of boiling water to replace

the lost moisture.

8. If you wish to retain the juices from the food being steamed,

you can line the lower quarter of the basket with aluminum foil

to form a pan.
