Steaming veggies is the healthiest method to consume them, and likewise the most convenient. Include some butter, lemon, or your favorite spices to twist them up.
They go terrific on the side of any meal, specifically my grilled chicken;-RRB-.

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!
@Meha Prem Sankar i’m glad to hear that Meha 🙂
CookingWithAmira are you supposed to keep the stove off or on? Coz I kept it on and burnt the pot so I’m assuming off lool 🤦🏾♂️😂😭
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!
+Isabella A Rossellini most welcome Isabelle. good luck!

I read a different way in the book but its good to know other ways thanks a lot
Thank you 🙂 I bought my first steamer last night and had great veggies today.
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!

By the time you have cooked the last vegetable, the first ones must be cold . I put everything in together and steam until tender and they are all hot at the same time, usually 6 minutes.

Down to earth and well explained!
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!
great video thanks! Just one question – at what temperature do you cook once it’s already boiling?
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’.
… put them in a pan next to a log fire ~ obvs
My question is after steaming you now cut the veggies to your desired size or cut before steaming
@ogechi anastesia before..
@Alex 😂
@Alex Log fire? how many people do you know who use a Log fire all year round ~ OBVS. TWAT.
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.
Wow…steaming food for 60 years ..My gout is back again and I feel like I need be conscious about the food I eat….
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.
Had a friend recommend I attempt steaming vegetables recently. Thank you for this, wonderful presentation, and the editing was just fine 😊
I’m glad
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.
Great video. Starting vegan tomorrow and needed this info. Thank you.
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 ! 🖤
