Vegetables
Fresh
Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual
way, i.e. wash, clean and cut them up.
Frozen
Frozen vegetables do not need to be
defrosted beforehand, unless they have
been frozen together in a block.
Frozen and fresh vegetables which take
the same length of time to cook can be
cooked together.
Break up vegetables that have frozen
together in a lump and follow instruc‐
tions on the packaging regarding cook‐
ing duration.
Cooking containers
Food such as peas or asparagus
spears, which have little or no space
between them, will take longer to cook
because the steam has less space to
work in. For an even result, it is best to
use a shallow container for these types
of food, and only fill it about 3-5 cm
deep. When cooking large quantities di‐
vide the food between 2 or 3 shallow
containers rather than using one deep
one.
Different types of vegetables which
take the same length of time to cook
can be cooked together.
Use solid containers for vegetables
which are cooked in liquid.
Shelf level
To avoid any colour transfer when
cooking vegetables with a distinctive
colour (e.g. beetroot) in a perforated
container, do not place other food un‐
derneath the perforated container.
Duration
As with conventional methods, the
cooking duration when cooking vegeta‐
bles with steam will depend on the size
and how well done you want them. Ex‐
ample:
firm potatoes, cut into quarters
= approx. 17 minutes
firm potatoes, cut in half
= approx. 21 minutes
