Recipe: How to Steam Fresh Vegetables with Cooking Times (1982)

Side Dishes - Vegetables
QUICK GUIDE TO STEAMING FAVORITE VEGETABLES

"For an easy, low-in-calories way to prepare the season's harvest, think steam. Steamed vegetables retain color and nutrients - and taste fantastic! To begin, fill steamer with three-fourths to one inch water. Insert steamer basket or trivet and add vegetables; over high heat, heat water to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover steamer and cook for time indicated below or until tender. After cooking, season with lemon juice, butter or margarine, salt, and pepper as desired."
