This is a dumb "cooking" cross-examine, but.......?

I just bought a veggie steamer...the ripened school characteristics, nothing fancy, it's the open-handed that stainless steel and opens up close to a bowl and closes real small....do you boil the marine and then set the steamer on top and close it, and for how long does it pilfer to steam the veggies?

Answer:
There is never a dumb question. Only a dumb character who didn't ask the question contained by time.

To answer your question; you bring the hose to the boil in the pot after you lower the steamer with the vegetables contained by it. Protect your hand near a kitchen mitten to avoid steam burn. Make sure the water smooth is below the steamer basket.

It usually take just 2 - 5 minutes to steam vegetables. However, different vegetables require different steaming times. Also it depends on your swallow. You may prefer a certain donness to your vegetable.

Experiment and find your preferred timings.

Good Luck!
put it on first so you don't burn yourself on the steam.
depending on the veggies the harder ones like carrot corn go surrounded by first and ones like beans brocc pilfer less time but if they are a bit crunchie i guess that's better than soggy.
You can put the veggies on earlier the water boils (right after you join the water) It doesn't matter.

How long to steam? that really depends on what you are steming, how much veggies you put on and how cooked you want them to be. Steaming does not require closely of time - so be aware that it might take profoundly less time than you have an idea that. Root veggies like potatoes lug longer than leafy green.
The collapsable picnic basket is designed to fit a variety of tub sizes. Place enough sea to come to the bottom of the steamer, place over high roast and add your veggies. How long to steam them is dependent upon your desired point of doneness....crunchy or soggy.....
When the wet is just waarm, place the steamer & u call for abt 10 - 12 mins to steam the veggies. ----- if they are cut into medium size pieces.
But don't forget the salt (kosher or deep-sea salt, only). The brackish will keep you veggies bright and in that will be very little brackish added to the dish.
