Prepare fresh vegetables in the usual way, i.e. wash, clean
and cut up.
Frozen vegetables do not need to be defrosted beforehand,
unless the vegetables have been frozen together in a block.
Frozen and fresh vegetables which take the same length of
time to cook can be cooked together.
If vegetables have frozen together in clumps, break these up
before cooking with steam. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging regarding cooking duration.
Food such as peas or asparagus spears, which have little or
no space between them will take longer to cook because the
steam has less space to work in. For an even result, it is best
to use a shallow container for these types of foods, and only
fill it 3-5 cm deep. When cooking large quantities divide the
food between 2 or 3 flat cooking containers rather than using
one deep one.
Different types of vegetables which take the same length of
time to cook can be cooked together.
Use solid containers for vegetables which are cooked in
liquid such as cabbage.
