Questions
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? Jill |

Yep, I'm an Anchor-Hocking bowlful of Green Veggies Nuker! 8 mins on power level 4 (7 pushes to bring the 1300WATT Nuker down from it's default power of 10!) And ShelDUM, I'm not "steaming" either, I'm COOKING! John Kuthe... |

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. |

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.'

Perhaps true in the strictest technical sense, but we're not talking in that way. Does your bathroom mirror ever steam up? Cindy Hamilton |

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. |

Most cooks are not in possession of much IQ, in fact most are iliterate ... they call it steaming but in fact they are cooking with heated water vapor, NOT steam. "Steam" is very often a misused word, a steam iron produces no steam.... before there were "steam irons" people sprinkled their clothes with plain water so that the hot iron produced hot water vapor. If you can see it it's not steam, steam is not visible. |

They are used in many other cultures. |

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. Cindy Hamilton |
