Vegetables
Hints
o Use steamer basket for fresh or frozen
vegetables.
Exception: If a sauce or liquid is to be kept on the vegetables, use rice bowl. See examples on page 20.
o Thoroughly clean the vegetables. Cut off stem; peel if desired. Cut or chop.
Smaller pieces steam faster than larger ones.
o Vegetables retain more flavor and nutri- ents if steamed just until tender, but still slightly firm.
o Quality, freshness and size may affect timing. Adjust water volumes and cooking times as desired.
o Season the vegetables after steaming.
o If preparing more vegetables (fresh or frozen) than quantity listed, increase water amount by 1/4 cup to extend cook- ing time.
Frozen Vegetables
o Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming.
o Temperature of frozen food will affect cooking time. Adjust water volume and cooking time as desired.
Frozen
Unless otherwise noted, times given are based on 7 package (76 ounces) frozen vegetables
