COOKING TIPS

Schedule cooking of fresh vegetables so that they will be served soon after they are cooked. If it is necessary to prepare them in advance, they can be plunged into cold water, drained thoroughly and held under refrigeration until needed for service.

Five pounds of cold cooked vegetables can be reheated in the steamer in 5 to 10 minutes, depending upon the variety.

SUGGESTED COOKING TIMES

Timer settings are for general guidance only. Differences in food quality, size, shape, freshness, load size, and desired degree of doneness must be taken into consideration and adjustments made in time, if necessary.
