How to Steam Vegetables

Featured pro:
Category: CookingHealthy Foods

Curtis Stone shares his trade secret on steaming vegetables to lock in delicious crunch, powerful nutrients and gorgeous color.

Step 1: Bamboo Steamer
This method is great because it allows you to cook a variety of veggies at the same time. The baskets are stackable; your veggies that need longer cook times go closer to the steam source.

Step 2: Metallic Steamer
This adjustable unit will fit all different pot sizes. Simply stick the steamer into the pot just above the water level, then put the lid on the pot.

Step 3: Ice Bath
Remove your vegetables from the steam and submerge in ice water. This instantly halts the cooking sealing in the flavor and nutrients.

Items You'll Need for this GMC Trade Secret

  • Vegetables
  • Bamboo Steamer
  • Metallic Adjustable Steamer
  • Large Bowl

i like a light batter and use peanut oil - very hot and crispy. i use it to make fried mushrooms, or any veggies and mozzarella sticks too. my fried fish too - especially cat fish!
