Finding the Best Way to Cook All Those Vegetables

Good article I came across from the NY Times: Finding the Best Way to Cook All Those Vegetables - New York Times

 

Interesting fact about microwaved veggies.

 

edit: didnt read actual post before posting reply

 

I have a steel thing that goes on my grill, and i cook them babies in that.

 

Ziplock now sells microwave steamer bags, they work great and the veggies come out looking and more importantly tasting great.

 

I also have a bamboo steamer, haven't seen one for years though and it takes like 5 minutes and there kick ass

 

I buy microwavable veggies and the ones that come in those steam bags. So thats good to hear that microwaving them is actually good.

 

interesting facts, i had always been told that steaming was the best way to cook them. will now look more at microwaving! so much easier too!!

 

I was watching good eats and the whole episode was about broccoli and they said that microwaving broccoli actually destroys 74-90% of the antioxidants. Anyone ever hear of this?

 

This is what I usually do, but at work I microwave them
