Steamed vegetables complete a healthy meal.
A rice steamer might seem like an appliance with limited use but actually can quickly steam a variety of foods. You can steam just about any vegetable in your rice steamer. Use it to prepare healthy, delicious vegetables without having them go limp or mushy. Rice steamers have timers to make it easy and provide quick steam without burning your food. Accompany your main dish with flavorful vegetables for a complete, healthy meal.
Instructions
1. Pour 1/2 to 1 cup of water into your rice steamer.
2. Set the steam basket into the rice steamer. The water level should be below the steam basket.
3. Pour your desired vegetables into the steam basket. Do not overfill the basket.
4. Put the lid on the steamer and turn it to the cook setting. Set the timer for the desired number of minutes. The instructional guide that came with your steamer may list recommended minutes for different vegetables or consult the Gourmet Sleuth guide in the References section.
5. Check for doneness when timer goes off. Vegetables should be softened but not limp.
6. Place vegetables in a serving bowl and season as desired.
