Guest guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 - Hi, I love using my visions cookware for a varient of steaming vegetables. The way I like to do it was described in Child's little book called 's Kitchen Wisdom. The idea is that you put in the amount of, say carrots, that you want. Then you put in enough water to come half way up the vegetables. Cover. Cook on High for about 5 minutes, Uncover and boil off any remaining liquid. When I did this with non transparent pots I often burnt the food, or came dangerously close. With Visions, it is easy to tell when you need to take the lid off and when all the liqd has boiled off. I often use broth instead of water and add ghee so they cook into the vegs Ellen -- In , Theta <calblonde1@...> wrote: > > Anybody who uses the Vision Cookware: > > Which of the Visions cookware do you use for steaming veggies? > If you have a better way of steaming, please let me know. > > Pamela > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth every penny though. Great way to strain kefir without using metal or plastic. Another tip for steaming is to place the food in a Pyrex storage bowl (the kind with the nice plastic lids) inside a steam chamber, like the one above or the steamer or pasta insert of a typical multicooker. It's a great way to reheat soups and sauces without worrying about overheating or burning. I used to love Visions cookware, but I found the pots hard to clean at times and now I only own one piece of cookware that I use for everything and it's an enamelled cast iron pot. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
