Steaming Guides

VEGETABLES

Follow these suggestions for steaming vegetables:

Wash the vegetables thoroughly. Cut off stems, trim, chop and peel if required.
Smaller, even-sized pieces of vegetables will steam faster than larger pieces. When steaming 

different size vegetables at the same time, place the largest and firmest in the lower steamer, 

basket and the other lighter or leafy vegetables in the top steamer baskets.
Steaming time will decrease slightly, if steaming smaller portions.
If steaming vegetables that have been frozen, always separate and stir once during steaming.
Estimated steaming times are listed in chart below, however freshness, quality and size of the 

food as well as personal preference will effect how quickly ingredients will take to steam. Adjust 

cooking times as desired.
