STEAMING
GUIDE
FRESH VEGETABLES
Weight for vegetables in the Guide is before they are trimmed, peeled, or cleaned. Cut
pieces evenly. Steam foods until just crisp, for best flavor and food value.
NOTE:
Suggested steaming times will vary depending on desired
doneness and quantity used; lengthen/shorten cooking times to suit
your taste. The times suggested are total cooking times, starting
when the Timer is turned ON.
