But for some - cabbage in particular - you get the best, purest flavor from steaming.<br /><br />@Purabi, I agree! Steamed veggies have a flavor that is so simple and natural.<br /><br />@both, thanks for your kind words, and for commenting.Kitchen Riffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334461438904669081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-14296484852636063742012-03-15T09:28:27.380-05:002012-03-15T09:28:27.380-05:00Steaming is such a great and simple option to enjo...Steaming is such a great and simple option to enjoy the flavours of vegetables in natural way!

You make a good point that they retain their nutrients this way as opposed to being cooked directly in the water. And great notes on all the different steaming devices you can use. I have a bamboo steamer and always forget that it can do so much more than steam dumplings!Katherine Martinellihttp://www.katherinemartinelli.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-46712843894866208292012-03-14T11:30:10.680-05:002012-03-14T11:30:10.680-05:00@Vicki, I've seen those tri-level steamers - t...@Vicki, I've seen those tri-level steamers - they're great. Similar concept to the Chinese bamboo ones, except they're metal and much sturdier. Bottom two photos were shot on black acrylic (you can use a mirror, too, but you risk double reflections if you do). I have black foam core all around to block out stray light (the acrylic reflects everything). A fun technique.<br /><br />@Anonymous, you can't go wrong with steamed veggies!<br /><br />@both, thanks for taking time to comment.Kitchen Riffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334461438904669081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-81043696474654062712012-03-14T11:22:40.550-05:002012-03-14T11:22:40.550-05:00Now I know what I'm having for dinner tonight!...Now I know what I'm having for dinner tonight!<br />:)<br />Tejas ChicaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-70374813198323940872012-03-14T11:16:07.439-05:002012-03-14T11:16:07.439-05:00I have a tri-level steamer that I got upteen years...I have a tri-level steamer that I got upteen years ago and still use. I put my food on the bottom and then layer the veggies. I think oftentimes people forget about steaming. It's such a great method.<br /><br />Please tell me how on earth do you shoot that photo in black? What type of surface, etc are you using? It's stunning!Vicki Bensingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454176256941372252noreply@blogger.com
