STEAMING VEGETABLES

What’s the first step of steaming delicious veggies?

Begin by selecting what you will steam and then, prepare it.

Steps:

1.Choose which vegetables you will steam. Wash them, slice, dice and chop them into uniform bits and set them aside.

2.Heat your water to boiling. Add the dense vegetables (such as carrots) first into the steamer basket and cover.

3.When the vegetables have cooked, remove the steamer basket and enjoy!

How do I know how long to cook my vegetables?

You can generally tell when vegetables have been thoroughly steamed by their color. For leafy greens, the color will change to bright green, which indicates they’re done. There are general guidelines below:

Asparagus	10 minutes (Use fork to test for softness)
Leafy Greens	3 minutes or until bright green
Green Beans	10 minutes
Potatoes	30 minutes (Use fork to test for softness)
Bean Sprouts	3 minutes
Yams	20-25 minutes
Beets	25 minutes

Tip: Using Both the Steamer and Pasta Basket Inserts in the Multipot at once.

There are many ways to cook an entire meal all at once in your Multipot. For instance, try steaming fresh clams, mussels, crab or lobster in the lower insert while at the same time steaming fresh vegetables in the top insert.
