STEAMING GUIDE
It is important to remember that this is just a general guide. Tastes vary and where some people
love their vegetables still squeaky-crunchy, others like them cooked to real tenderness. The age
of certain vegetables affects cooking times, of course, e.g. young juicy carrots cook faster than
more dense large carrot slices. With its three tiers, the Steamer can handle all preferences.
For frozen vegetables, follow the instructions on the package.
