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'.
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.
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.
I was going to type the suggestion of just putting them in the steaming basket in order, but you did a lot more detailed instrutions....thanks for saving me time...
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.
I have a silicone steamer that I never use. I like the metal one better, so going to get back into steaming my vegetables. I picked up bits of info. from you, like boil the water first and cook the vegetables separately because of different cooking times. Thank you very much.
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!
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 ! 🖤
Happened on the video with a roll over play. Cooked since I couldn't even reach the stove, but this is very sweet and concise, making extra notes about people not damaging their pans a beginner would be schooled.
I wasn't satisfied with the previous steaming videos that I watched si I kept on clicking in them until I came across yours. I am a huge lover of Vegetable Medley, which they sell at Walmart, so now when I buy them again, I will be reminded of your video ANND I'm gonna buy a stainless steel pot & a steaming basket to put in the pot. 👍👍👍
i watched this video and you explained it so neatly. Really Appreciable. i liked it very much and i was thinking to buy Steamer for this but you saved my money. thanks a lot for sharing this.
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.
Great video! i’m a Marine and i have been asking all the women in my circle on how to properly steam vegetables and each one of them tell me a different way. your video definitely solved my problem. do you have any videos for people with type 2 diabetes?
It's really interesting to see when one capable of understand such complex subjects yet no ability to explain that to a another, (hence no audience), and then there are others (rarely) like you, explaining a simple matter that most of the people already know and understand...yet capable of grabbing all attention of everybody eventhough; they already know how. Beautifully done and well explained video. Don't mind, even for a second, about bad comments..there will be always few that never will able to keep up no matter what.
this was great i watch many videos i do a lot of steaming from fish to egg and veg, its your art of explaining that stands above the rest keep up the good work
Amira this must be the best steaming video on youtube thank you so much I'm buying the steaming basket I hope they're still selling this type,,,,,, I have subscribed
Thanks Amira for sharing this nice vedio with us . Taste n presentation are equally important in cooking . Steaming this way maintains the right color , nutrients n taste as well
I don't even know what that big steam bowl was, even though she said it twice. The closed caption called it a "calendar"... I do not think that means what TH-cam thinks it means.
Steaming is really good if you like Bao and Fishcakes too I got a microwaveable one that works pretty well too. They are like 4.99 at Meijers love steamed food!
i don't think you mentioned on how long too cook the carrots for... besides that i love this video it was very helpful ! now im ready too buy a veggie steamer !
thank you for that. I have often thought if beans take 5 mins and mushrooms take 3 , can you not just add the mushrooms in after 2min of the bens cooking? and the same with the carrots? add or deduct the time? when you are trying to get everything on the table hot for a family this surely could help? or am i missing something important. i do this when boiling but haven't tried it with steaming.
Would this also work with spinach, and what would be the best way to add ingredients such as garlic and shallots? Would it be possible to add them as it's steaming, or perhaps cook them in a pan separately, then add them to the spinach later?
Do you lower the temp once you place the veggies? A lot of recipes says to lower the heat to a medium-medium low, but some books recommend keeping it at high heat.
Thanks for sharing this idea. You made it quick and easy very delicious vegetables. Fully watched the video it really helps to me. New friend here, stay connected 🙏

oh wow what an honor to be complimented by an ex chef. and thank you so much for your comments. i will take them to heart
Gregory im suprised you havnt made a steaming video
How do you keep the veg warm if you are cooking at separate intervals?
... 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
This is how a cooking video should be made. Simple, straightforward and uncomplicated. Thanks for sharing🙏🙏🙏
Perfect! Just what I was looking for. I've never steamed any veggies in the past. This will help me immensely. Thank you.
This is the BOSS of all the ways to steam veggies. I will use it forever. Thanks!

Tried steaming vegetables for the first time last night. They were so crispy and tasted so much better. Thank you.
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!

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 🤦🏾♂️😂😭

Beautifully done and well explained video. Don't mind, even for a second, about bad comments..there will be always few that never will able to keep up no matter what.
in your first sentence you need to add 'ing' to understand, understanding. Or you could put in a comma, or become less pretentious.
thank you, now i know what and how to do :))) i watched other videos on stemming carrots but yours is best for me. thanks
nice, im making mashed potatoes, breaded chicken and steamed vegetables for mothers day (this sunday in europe) so im studying up right now :D

Thanks. I've been boiling my spinach to remove the oxalic acid but boiling also turns it into goop...
Very good video. Can't wait to try
Very thankful! I have been looking for knowing this.
Thank you so much for this lovely video which is quite helpful related with nutritious cooking. From now onward I will follow this.
Thanks Amira for sharing this nice vedio with us . Taste n presentation are equally important in cooking . Steaming this way maintains the right color , nutrients n taste as well
Well done Amira , loved your vedio . thanks.
You don't need any fancy equipments
Goes on showing some alien technology 😂

Alan Smith-Emerson it’s a strainer.
@@commandercaptain4664 It's a colander, also called a strainer. Usually used for draining the water off foods.
Exactly what I had in mind 😂😂😂
Yes, strainers are used for cooking rice
That steaming basket is cool!!! Thank you for this. You look very nice and I like your voice. ❤️
Steaming is really good if you like Bao and Fishcakes too I got a microwaveable one that works pretty well too. They are like 4.99 at Meijers love steamed food!
hello from barbados .... our class from Al -Falah Secondary school just watched your video it was very helpful thanks😊😊😍
Thank you for this Amira!
Thank you for the very lucid explanation.
i don't think you mentioned on how long too cook the carrots for... besides that i love this video it was very helpful ! now im ready too buy a veggie steamer !
Look at that!
No oils..simplicity and healthy!
Thanks! We also dont have a steamer, we use a stainless steel strainer,
Both informative & fun to watch.
So simple instructions and with lots of important details
Thank you so much subscribed 👏👍👍

Thank you for sharing your easy delicious food recipes
Great video! Will use! Thank you! ❤️
Very useful video, I'd like to add or suggest replacing the water each time a vegetable is steamed.
Do you need a nonstick . I use earthen pots and they taste great 👍 and healthy too.
Moonlight spark no you dont need to use non stick for steaming
can’t believe I’m 25 and just learned how to steam veggies. lol thank you
I'm 35 and just learnt the same 😅
Do you lower the temp once you place the veggies? A lot of recipes says to lower the heat to a medium-medium low, but some books recommend keeping it at high heat.
As far as I’m aware, the important part is that the water keeps on boiling, otherwise there wont be enough steam
Excellent video! Thanks!
Honestly... thanks dear. Will definitely try it. God bless. So complete your presentation 👍
Thanks I was looking for these steamers . Till I found ur video I dint know honestly what these called in english.
thankyou for the helpful tips 😌
Lovely video. Thanks.
Hello,what if you wrap them in aluminium foul to keep the juices and nutrition in the vegetable,what do you think?
You should stop doing that. Aluminium foil in cooking is really toxic...
Thanks for the explanation
my pleasure
Can all/any vegetables be streamed; or are some safer to cook by other means ??? Thanks.
It's really clear. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for sharing. Loved this video.
Good idea to do boiled new potatoes for few minutes in bottom pan also before and during steaming the veg
Can frozen vegetables be steamed or do they have to be thawed first?
Thank you for the instructional video
Thanks for sharing this idea. You made it quick and easy very delicious vegetables. Fully watched the video it really helps to me. New friend here, stay connected 🙏
Was it on High flame or low flame....?
Love this! Thank you!
Good tips, thank you
