• the temperature of the water (the times

quoted assume cold water. Cooking
time is slightly reduced with hot water);

• personal preference (food with bite or

soft).

Notes
• Stir or rearrange the cooking food

occasionally with a long cooking spoon.

• Ensure that all the pieces are about the

same size. Arrange smaller pieces on
top.

• Do not over-fill the steamer baskets by

packing food in too tightly or covering
all the holes. It must be possible for
steam to pass everywhere between the
pieces and through the holes in the
bases of the steamer baskets.

8.1 Cooking times - vegetables

• Prepare the vegetables by cutting off

thick stalks and cutting large vegetables
into similar-sized pieces.

• Leafy vegetables should be cooked for

as short a time as possible so that they
retain their colour.

• Do not season vegetables until they are

cooked.

• Frozen vegetables can be cooked like

fresh ones. For many vegetables,
cooking time is extended by a few
minutes when they are frozen.
