Vegetables are cooked very gently with the steam cooker. Both fresh and frozen vegetables are
suitable. Place frozen vegetables in the wire basket and increase the cooking time by approx. 5
minutes. The cooking times stated in the table below apply to 500 g fresh vegetables, cut into
bite-sized pieces. Cut the firmer stalk of vegetables like broccoli or Brussels sprouts crosswise
beforehand. The cooking times mentioned are guide lines only and may vary according to freshness,
cut, cultivation and storage or depending on personal taste (al dente or soft).

Never add wine, lemon juice or vinegar when steaming vegetables.
To avoid overcooked vegetables, remove them immediately after the beep and serve straight
away.
With the steam cooker vegetables can be cooked without adding salt. As the vegetables don't soak
in water they retain their natural flavour and colour.
Season the vegetables with butter, salt and pepper after steaming.
The vegetables can be served on their own or with a sauce. Ready made sauces are widely
available but delicious home-made sauces can be a healthier option. Never use the steam cooker
to prepare sauces.
