Vegetable Steaming Table

•  Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will affect cooking times.
•  These steaming charts are for reference only. Actual cooking times 

may vary.

NOTE

HELPFUL 

HINTS

•  Since most vegetables only absorb a small amount of water, 

there is 

no need to increase the amount of water with a larger serving of 
vegetables.

•  Steaming times may vary depending upon the cut of meat being used. 
•  To ensure meat tastes its best, and to prevent possible illness, check that 

meat is completely cooked prior to serving. If it is not, simply place more 
water in the inner cooking pot and repeat the cooking process until the 
meat is adequately cooked.
