Vegetables - Nesco ST-25F Care/Use Manual

• Steaming will bring out the fresh flavor, color and texture of the vegetable.
Steamed vegetables are fat-free and low in calories. The nutrients are
steamed into the vegetables and not cooked out.
• Always fill reservoir to at least minimum level before connecting to power
supply.
• Clean vegetables thoroughly. Remove stems, peel or chop if needed. Smaller
pieces of food steam more quickly than larger pieces.
• Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming. Stir after steaming
10 - 12 minutes.
• Quantity, quality, freshness and size of foods will affect the steaming times.
Adjust water amounts and steaming time as desired.
