HELPFUL HINTS:
1. 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.
2. Whenever possible, keep the lid closed during the entire steaming process.
Opening the lid causes a loss of heat and steam, resulting in a slower
cooking time. If you find it necessary to open the lid, you may want to
add a small amount of water to help restore the cooking time.
3. Altitude, humidity and outside temperature will affect cooking times.
4. The steaming chart is for reference only. Actual cooking time may vary.
