REHEATING
BREADS AND LEFTOVERS
1. Do not wrap or cover when reheating breads.
2. For leftovers, reheating times are based on foods
at refrigerator temperatures.
3. Experiment with your own leftovers.

VEGETABLES

1. Clean the vegetables thoroughly. Cut off stems; trim, peel or
chop if necessary. Smaller pieces steam faster than larger ones.
2. Quantity, quality, freshness, size/uniformity and temperature
of frozen food may affect steam timing. Adjust water amounts
and cooking time as desired.
3. Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming.
4. The frozen foods should be separated or stirred after 10-12 minutes.
Use a long-handled fork or spoon to separate or stir foods.
