How to Steam Vegetables Correctly 

Good video, thanks. As an ex chef, I will compliment you on touching on all the bases, especially the nutrition part. I would add just one tip. You are right that cooking times differ for different vegetables and one way to judge when they are done is, yes the tenderness with a little crunch, but also when the color of the vegetable is at it's brightest: bright green, bright orange, etc. (except the mushrooms, they don't really change except getting a little darker). Bon appetite'.

This is how a cooking video should be made. Simple, straightforward and uncomplicated. Thanks for sharing🙏🙏🙏

This is the BOSS of all the ways to steam veggies. I will use it forever. Thanks!

Wow! You covered every detail that must be known when it comes to properly steaming vegetables! People are complaining how lengthy it is but why should you leave out any information in your tutorial!

Thank You! this is so simple but I had no idea how to steam veggies before. I tried this last night and my vegetables were delicious!

Thank you :) I bought my first steamer last night and had great veggies today.

I've been steaming my food for about 60 years. I steam fish and meat (only thin cuts of meat) as well, and line up all the food for the meal according to the length of time each takes to cook, then, after boiling the kettle (much faster) for the pot on the stove I add the foods in order, the one requiring the longest steaming first. I let that steam for a while then put the next in. By steaming regularly you learn how long stuff takes for your taste and can organise the timing appropriately. To serve I cover in grated cheese or slather loads of butter over it. I also use herbs and spices in with the stuff steaming and use the steaming water afterwards to make gravy. As an engineer living on my own I don't have time to mess about with lots of pots and fancy recipes and believe in optimisation! This gives me a good healthy cooked meal with little effort every night. If you're going to steam meat you should probably use a meat thermometer, but heck! I don't have time to fuss and I don't have a meat thermometer and I'm still here! Tonight: new potatoes on the bottom of the steamer, after 30 mins put in the sprouting broccolli and salmon fillet, salt, lemon and dill. Eight minutes later it's done, put it on a pre-heated (under the hot tap) plate, butter on the potatoes and broccolli, wash the pan and steamer, that way I don't burn my mouth on the hot food. When entertaining just double up the quantities, same cooking time, same amount of washing up. Couldn't be simpler or quicker.

Perfect! Just what I was looking for. I've never steamed any veggies in the past. This will help me immensely. Thank you.

Thank you! I needed this information but never look it up. It's a good thing I found your video. I boil my vegetables but I almost always overcooked them. Your way helps me to get the most nutrition out of them.

Tried steaming vegetables for the first time last night. They were so crispy and tasted so much better. Thank you.

Thank you for making this video. The other videos I watched on stemming vegetable they put all kinds of vegetables in the pot at one time. This video made more sense. I'm more of a fruitarian than a vegetarian but one of my doctors told me to try steaming some vegetables and adding them to my diet. Due to jaw issues a lot of vegetables are hard me to chew. This video will help me out a lot. I can't wait to steam some carrots and other vegetables. Thank you!

No more sautéed vegetables for me. This video was very informative and straight to the point.

Great video. Starting vegan tomorrow and needed this info. Thank you.

Very informative thank you! Just bought a steam basket and didn't think about the feet and a non stick pan, thank you for the tip

Thank you very much Amira : ) you are a well spoken lovely lady! All these years, I have been steaming the wrong way until I found your helpful video.

Was looking for the easiest way. This will help me a lot. Thank you!

You don't need any fancy equipments Goes on showing some alien technology 😂

Thanks for your video! I too had no idea how to steam veggies and I didn't think your video was long at all! You made it very simple to do!

Thank you so much Amira! This video is most appreciated. It's good to learn about the pot steamer and how to properly use it. Thank you for taking the time to do this video - very helpful and useful.

I love my vegetables! Especially steamed! Delicious!

Down to earth and well explained!

Straight forward and well explained. Very helpful, thanks.

Thank you so much for the tutorial it is very detailed and covers everything!

this is so detailed and you didnt do things too fast like other tutorials and i looove your name, it means princess in arabic!

I have a silicone steamer that I never use. I like the metal one better, so going to get back into steaming my vegetables. I picked up bits of info. from you, like boil the water first and cook the vegetables separately because of different cooking times. Thank you very much.

Had a friend recommend I attempt steaming vegetables recently. Thank you for this, wonderful presentation, and the editing was just fine 😊

This video has been my go-to video to learn steaming veggies till I memorized everything from it. Really helpful and informative. Congrats on reaching 1 million views. Best of luck Amira ! 🖤

Thanks for sharing these cooking tips. I 'm going to try them them this evening with my family.

a very inspiring tutoring video I can benefit from it instantly.

That was so simple and awesome!!! Thanks indeed!

Nice. Very well informed. Especially to a beginner like me. Thank's

this was great i watch many videos i do a lot of steaming from fish to egg and veg, its your art of explaining that stands above the rest keep up the good work

That's how u steam veggies. Finally. Thank u I'm Greatful. I lv this girl

It's really interesting to see when one capable of understand such complex subjects yet no ability to explain that to a another, (hence no audience), and then there are others (rarely) like you, explaining a simple matter that most of the people already know and understand...yet capable of grabbing all attention of everybody eventhough; they already know how. Beautifully done and well explained video. Don't mind, even for a second, about bad comments..there will be always few that never will able to keep up no matter what.

Both informative & fun to watch.

Simple, precise and very informative. Thank you for that Amira. You have a fan from Singapore. Peace. Rav

Thank you so much for this lovely video which is quite helpful related with nutritious cooking. From now onward I will follow this.

Happened on the video with a roll over play. Cooked since I couldn't even reach the stove, but this is very sweet and concise, making extra notes about people not damaging their pans a beginner would be schooled.

Thank you for the very lucid explanation.
