The following are some handy hints on how
to steam vegetables:
1. Before steaming, wash the vegetables
thoroughly.
2. Cut off stems and peel if desired.
3. Cut vegetable to the desired size (smaller
pieces steam faster than larger ones).
4. To retain the vegetables flavour and
nutrients, steam until just tender, but still
slightly firm.
5. When steaming several different
vegetables at once, place the largest and
firmest in the steamer first. Add other
vegetables according to size during the
steaming time.
6. If a sauce or liquid is to be prepared
with the vegetables, use the rice bowl for
steaming.
7. Frozen vegetables should not be thawed
before steaming.
