HELPFUL HINTS & TIPS

FOR FOOD STEAMING:

Vegetables

1Clean the vegetables thoroughly. Cut off stems; trim, peel or chop if necessary. Smaller pieces steam faster than larger ones.

2Quantity, quality, freshness, size/uniformity and temperature of frozen food may affect steam timing. Adjust cooking time as desired.

3Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming.

4Frozen foods should be separated or stirred after 10-12 minutes. Use a long-handled fork or spoon to separate or stir foods.

Fish and Seafood

1The steaming times listed in the chart are suggestions for fresh, frozen or fully thawed seafood and fish. Before steaming, clean and prepare fresh seafood and fish.

2Most fish and seafood cook very quickly. Steam in small portions or in amounts as specified.

3When cooking shellfish, steam until shells open and discard any shells that remain closed. When buying shellfish, be sure to keep the bag open during transportation and storage to ensure shellfish stay alive until cook time.

4Serve steamed seafood and fish plain or use seasoned butter or margarine, lemon or favorite sauces.

5Adjust steaming times accordingly.

Frozen Food

When steaming frozen food, cook until food is thoroughly heated and reaches temperatures above 175° F.
