Steaming Vegetables

What's the first step of steaming delicious veggies?
Begin by selecting what you will steam and then, prepare it.
Steps:
• Choose which vegetables you will steam. Wash them, slice, dice and chop
them into uniform bits and set them aside.
• Heat your water to boiling. Add the dense vegetables (such as carrots) first
into the steamer basket and cover.
• When the vegetables have cooked, remove the steamer basket and enjoy!
How do I know how long to cook my vegetables?
You can generally tell when vegetables have been thoroughly steamed by
their color. For leafy greens, the color will change to bright green, which
indicates they're done. There are general guidelines below:
Asparagus ······················10 minutes (Use fork to test for softness)
Leafy Greens ················3 minutes or until bright green
Green Beans··················10 minutes
Potatoes··························30 minutes (Use fork to test for softness)
Bean Sprouts ················3 minutes
Yams ································20-25 minutes
Beets ······························25 minutes
