How to Use a Vegetable Steamer

To use a vegetable steamer basket, first fill the bottom of a pot or pan with enough water to cover the bottom by approximately one half-inch. Insert the steamer and set it on the bottom of the pan. Make sure the water isn’t coming through the steamer so your veggies won’t boil instead of steam. Throw in your uncooked food, cover the pot and turn your stove burner to medium heat. Add water as necessary and cook until food is of desired tenderness.
