COOKING TABLES
VEGETABLES
The table indicates - according to the vegetable type - whether the vegetable should be cooked
in the steamer basket (above the water) or directly in the pot (without the basket). For frozen
store-bought vegetables, the cooking times are the same as the fresh versions as the vegetables
are blanched beforehand (i.e. briefly immersed in boiling water). Add a few minutes to the cooking
times of "home-frozen" vegetables. The vegetables must not come into contact with the water
when using the basket (750 ml) or exceed the pan's MAX 2 - 2/3 level. When not using the basket,
the total volume of the vegetables + water must not exceed the pan's 2/3 - MAX 2 level. The
indicated times are often a guide which allow the cooking time to be adjusted according to the size
of the ingredients being cooked, the varieties and your preferred cooking texture: al dente or soft.
