Steaming Vegetables
For best results:
1.Wash and clean vegetables before steaming. Trim stems and peel skins.
2.Cut vegetables into even sized pieces. The smaller the piece the faster it will cook.
3.Steam vegetables until just tender, this retains the flavour.
4.Frozen vegetables should be defrosted before steaming.
