Steaming Vegetables

Smaller pieces will steam faster
than larger ones.

The size and shape of vegetables
may call for adjustments. For
softer vegetables, allow extra
cooking time.

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

Fresh or frozen vegetables may
be steamed.

If steaming frozen vegetables, do
not thaw first.

Do not allow water or stock to
touch the basket or food.

Check liquid level occasionally.
Add more hot water if further
steaming is required.

Always lift the lid away from

escaping from under the lid.
