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 instructions on the packaging regarding cooking

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 about3-5cmdeep. When cooking large quantities divide

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 underneath the perforated container.

Duration

As with conventional methods, when cooking vegetables with

steam, the cooking duration will depend on the size and also

whether you want the vegetables to be al dente or soft/well

done. Example:

firm potatoes, cut into quarters = approx. 18 minutes

firm potatoes, cut in half = approx. 22 minutes

Brussels sprouts, large, al dente = approx. 12 minutes

Brussels sprouts, small, soft = approx. 12 minutes

Steam cooking
