HINTS & TIPS

Steaming vegetables

Smaller pieces will steam faster than larger pieces.

Try to keep vegetables to a uniform size to ensure even cooking.

Fresh or frozen vegetables may be steamed.

If steaming frozen vegetables, do not thaw before cooking.

The size and shape of vegetables, as well as personal taste, may call for adjustments to the cooking time. If softer vegetables are required, allow extra cooking time.

Do not allow water or stock to reach the steaming tray. The steaming will not be effective.
