ScarletShark+FollowSteaming Veggies for Better Flavor and NutritionFirst, grab your electric steamer or stovetop basket and make sure everything’s clean and assembled. Always check the water reservoir and never run it dry—trust me, you don’t want to risk burning out your steamer. Chop your fresh veggies into even pieces. Lay them in a single layer in the basket so the steam can hit every piece. Overcrowding just leads to uneven cooking. Fill the water reservoir (or pot) up to the recommended line—don’t overdo it. For stovetop, make sure the basket isn’t touching the water. Cover with the lid and set your timer. Most veggies only need 3-10 minutes. Watch for that bright color pop; that’s when they’re perfect. Once done, unplug or turn off the heat, let things cool a bit, and serve those veggies warm. Steaming really keeps the flavor and nutrients locked in! #SteamedVeggies #HealthyCooking #KitchenTips #Food #Cooking00Share
RadiantRift+FollowBought frozen veggies but don't know what to do? Here's a quick fix.Add about 1 inch of water to a pot and bring it to a boil. Don’t overfill or your veggies will get mushy. Place your frozen vegetables in a steamer basket or colander, making sure they don’t touch the water. Cover the pot and steam until tender—usually 10 minutes for peas and corn, 20 for broccoli or asparagus. If you don’t have a steamer, use a heat-proof plate on top of foil balls. For the microwave, toss your frozen veggies in a microwave-safe bowl. Add just a couple tablespoons of water (don’t drown them!) and cover with a lid or plastic wrap, leaving a vent. Microwave on high for 3–5 minutes. Check for doneness and add another minute if needed. Drain any extra water before serving. Steaming keeps your veggies crisp and full of flavor—no soggy, bland bites here. Add your favorite seasonings and enjoy! #SteamedVeggies #FrozenVegetables #EasyCooking #Food #Cooking30Share
