How to prepare your SteamMates!
Mouse over a step below to see more information.
Let's go!
Great tasting vegetables are just minutes away with the SteamMates seasoning and steaming kit. To prepare, simply add your own fresh (or frozen!) vegetables and one tablespoon of oil such as olive, canola, vegetable or your favorite cooking oil.
CHOP
Each SteamMates kit seasons about 3 cups (12 ounces) of vegetables, which is what most bags of pre-washed veggies contain. Or use your own fresh veggies – just cut them into one to two inch sized pieces.
ADD SEASONING
To prepare, open the bag and add the included packet of chef-inspired seasoning. SteamMates comes in four delicious flavors; Butter and Herb, Lemon Pepper, Italian Herb and Teriyaki, so you can easily find a flavor the whole family will enjoy.
ADD VEGGIES
Next, add the vegetables to the steaming bag. This special bag retains steam to gently and evenly cook your vegetables.
ADD OIL
Add one tablespoon of your favorite cooking oil and fold over the top of the bag twice, creasing the bag with your fingers to keep it closed. The bag is made from a food grade paper that is moisture and oil resistant, free from plastic, BPA or flourochemicals.
shake
Shake the bag to distribute the seasoning over the vegetables, and place on a microwave safe plate. The steaming bag imparts no off flavors to the food. The only flavor you’ll taste is our delicious seasoning blend and your fresh veggies!
heat
Cook on your microwave’s “high” setting for about 3-5 minutes, depending on the vegetable you are preparing. Because microwaves vary, your actual cooking time may be +/-30 seconds – detailed cooking times for vegetables types are printed on the steaming bag.
serve
After cooking is complete, allow the bag to stand in the microwave for 30 seconds, then carefully open the bag and pour onto a bowl or plate. Because hot steam will be present, use caution and wear an oven mitt or use a potholder to prevent burning yourself.
ENJOY
In just minutes you can add a delicious vegetable side dish to any meal.
