Cooking Tips and Techniques

◆ For best results, cover container with plastic wrap and turn back one edge of the wrap to form a 1/2-inch slot where steam can escape.

◆ After cooking fresh vegetables, allow 3-5 minutes of stand time before serving. This will allow the food to finish cooking without overcooking.

◆ When preparing fresh vegetables, add 1/2 cup of water per 1/2 pound of fresh vegetables.
