Recipes Vegetables 1 Clean vegetables thoroughly. Cut off stems; trim, peel or chop if necessary. Smaller pieces steam faster than larger ones. 2 Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming. 3 Quantity, quality, freshness, size/uniformity and temperature of frozen food may affect steam timing. Adjust water amounts and cooking time as desired. 4 The frozen foods should be separated or stirred after 10-12 minutes. Use a long-handled fork or spoon to separate or stir foods.
