Show of hands, please:

How many people here own a steamer basket?

How many people here occasionally steam fresh vegetables?

Julie Bove keeps referencing my "steaming" vegetables, as if it's some
sort of slight. She ignores the fact that I also bake/roast, pan-fry
and even grill vegetables.

A recent mention of cabbage had me thinking about grilled cabbage
wedges. Grilled cabbage is delicious; it carmelizes nicely and tastes
great. But I digress...

Am I the only person who ever steams veggies? Somehow I doubt this,
given the proclivity of all the "steam-in-bag" packaging in the frozen
vegetable aisle.

In the winter I rely on frozen vegetables. I either steam them or heat
them in the microwave with a little water. So what? It's not as if
they're bland and boring. I know how to use herbs and spices.

Oh, and I also think it depends on the particular vegetable.

So, to steam or not to steam?

I have a large steamer basket and a small steamer basket -- stainless
steel pots really.. I steam cabbage, corn on the cob, broccoli,
carrots, bell peppers for stuffing, Probably others, it's just not a
big deal, just another way of cooking. Remember, Julie hates steamed
vegetables.

I steam things like asparagus, zucchini, and others. I used to steam
artichokes, but now I do them in the microwave because of the length it
takes to steam them, but yes...I do steam at times.

I never steam vegetables on the stovetop. I cook broccoli or (frozen)
green beans in the microwave. Fresh green beans are cooked in boiling
salted water until tender-crisp. I like grilled broccoli, onions,
zucchini or asparagus, and a variety of roasted vegetables.

I have 2 steamers. One is part of my set of pots and pans and is
fairly large. The other is a little collapsible one. The big one is
handy if I'm doing three or four different vegetables at one time. (I
like a lot of different colours on my plate.)

I steam a lot of vegetables instead of boiling them because it's
faster. Vegetables that I steam include green/yellow beans, asparagus,
carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, potatoes,
corn, and turnips. I generally add butter or something to them after
they are cooked.

I also roast vegetables, stir-fry them, or serve them raw. It depends
on what they are being served with.

I'm with you, I nuke most stuff now that I used to steam. Takes a bit
of adjusting and failure, then you get the perfect times and
percentage for your nuker.

I'm not sure what folks mean by "steaming". It's not possible to
produce steam except in a sealed pressurized container like a pressure
cooker. Cooking veggies in an unsealed container with a bit of liquid
is NOT steaming, that's boiling/stewing. What's seen escaping from a
boiling pot is water vapor, NOT steam... steam is invisible.

I steam potatoes rather than boil them. Tiny ones I nuke.

I've got a 'skillet steamer insert.' It's an insert that is very
similar to this one. I use it for steaming small red new potatoes
for 'tater salad. It works quite well.

During the winter, my maternal grandmother made use of the fire to boil
the veggies for lunch. The taters often "caught" as a result.*

My paternal grandmother also used the fire but sensibly used a steamer
insert - she was a much better cook!

*When family members had colds, she would cook an onion with the
potatoes and mash them together.

2. He'll never show up in this thread again.

I guess "graduate from high school" translates to "have your brain

Just one shot? From some of the crap he spewed in the past, I assumed he

I am sure she considers herself a great cook. She also posted
extensively about how her husband a daughter would not eat the stuff she
cooked.

Own 3 baskets (includes a stove top steamer unit)

3 times a week is the average probably.

Best i can tell Julie seems to mostly bake and simmer. If she does
other, it's not mentioned enough to be noticed by me.

Hum! I've done almost everything else with cabbage but grilling it
seems odd. Doesnt mean it's not good, but off my normal thought lanes.

Nope, I just don't mention it all that often. It's very regular here.

I'd say it depends Jill, on the item and the effect desired.

We've had one for at lest 10 years. Use it on occasion. Steaming
preserves the flavor.

Right, what you see is water vapor. It is when the steam you produced
condenses. When you heat water to 100C is changes from from liquid to
vapor, called steam.

The energy or heat consumed per unit mass during the vaporization of a
liquid is called heat of vaporization or enthalpy of vaporization. To
condense water vapor to its liquid phase, energy must be removed from
the gas. The energy per unit mass required to condense water vapor is
equal to the heat of vaporization.

It also doesn't add any.

Dumkopf! I said we all understood what we were talking about. You
are the one out of the loop. 'Steaming' in this instance is what is
referred to in common parlance as 'steaming.' Please try to keep up.

But you most often seem to steam them. To me, steamed vegetables are about
as unappealing as food can get. I did have a steamer basket many years ago
but I got rid of it as I didn't like the food it produced. I would much
rather eat vegetables raw or roasted than steamed. No raw potatoes for me
but my mom likes them that way.

I was at QFC the other day and the frozen veggie section (not including
potatoes) was only 6 feet wide. I get the feeling that frozen veggies are
falling out of favor at least in this area. I don't usually care for them
myself but I used a bag of mixed the other day for soup and I like to keep
peas and carrots for stir fries.

No steaming for me or frozen veggies in general. As I said, I do buy them on
occasion for specific purposes but that food isn't usually food I eat. I
generally buy fresh or canned. I didn't grow up eating frozen either. I
don't recall ever having them in the house. I think the first time I tried
them, they were green beans in a sauce. Came with either almonds or
spaetzel. Can't get those any more.

Only reason I make a big deal of it is because you seem to feel the need to

You use a steamer basket that fits in the pot. The pot only has a small bit
of water underneath it. Pot has a lid.

Just curious as to how said turnip was prepared. Was it possibly steamed?
