How to Blanch Vegetables

Step 1: Blanch du Veggies
Cook vegetables in plenty of boiling salted water just until they become crisp-tender and their color brightens.

Step 2: Ice, Ice Baby
Immediately remove the cooked vegetables from the boiling water and submerge them in a bowl of ice water to lock in their vibrant color and stop them from cooking.

Step 3: Pat 'Em Down
Once the vegetables are cool, remove them from the ice water and pat them dry with paper towels. Do not allow the vegetables to soak in the ice water after they have cooled, since doing so can cause the vegetables to become waterlogged.

Step 4: Enjoy
Chew with your mouth closed.
