Steamed veggies
 

I got this cool little Hamilton Beach veggie steamer the other day. Not overly exciting I know, but I hate mushy veggies. It has a little well in it for herbs/spices and the steam passes through that and infuses with the food. I made just veggies (cauliflower & carrots) last night but I am thinking of doing some Talapia or Salmon in it this afternoon for lunch.

Keep me posted on how that sucker works. Teram Sergeant knows the story, it's funny.

And it was a good story.... ;)

Brew, I steam veggies all the time and you can make them just as mushy in a steamer as in boiling water. Timing is every thing!

I learned (brain cramp) yesterday that some veggies need more time then others and they should be added accordingly. Nothing like perfect carrots and soggy broccoli. :rolleyes:

LOL.. I hear you Brew. We use our steamer all the time. It makes perfect rice too (although it takes 50 minutes instead of 20).

Lol
 

Basic guide.
40 - Rice
10-12 for brocolli
35 - for corn on the cob
25 - carrots.
15-20 - Asparagus

Best bet is to test them every couple of min.

The are good for steaming hotdog buns also. - Wrap them in a paper towel and put in for ~ 3 min.

Veggies? I don't eat no stinkin' veggies.

Maybe for your steamer -- they are all different!
