Answer 8

It' all depends upon the veggie.  But basically, do not overcook; stop cookign when crisp-tender.  Stir-frying is great for non-starchy veggies like zucchini, squash, green beans.  A quick steam is better for starchier veggies like corn.

Directions: Open the steamer. Place the steamer into a saucepan. The size saucepan is determined by the amount of food you intend to cook, and the size of the steamer. Add water, keeping the level ¼ inch below the bottom of the steamer. Usually, 2 to 3 cups of water is sufficient. In no case should the food contact the water. Place the food on the steamer. Heat the water to boiling. Place a lid over the saucepan to keep it as hermetically sealed as possible. This insures faster cooking. The approximate cooking times are listed below.
