vegetables are tender.

Cook's Notes: A 5 1/2 inch collapsible metal steamer, opened flat, works
well in a large saucepan or deep skillet. When adding foods, cover and
adjust heat to maintain water at vigorous boil. so the pan is filled
continuously with steam. Steam can burn so remove the lid by tilting it
away from your face. Use hot pads and remove food carefully. Check water
level when steaming foods that require longer cooking times. If necessary,
add boiling water to maintain steaming process.

Menu suggestion: Serve with a salad of assorted salad greens (Bibb,
romaine, curly red or green lettuce) in individual salad bowls. Top with
cucumber slices and fresh grapefruit segments. Serve the salad with your
favorite reduced-calorie creamy cucumber or Italian salad dressing.
