2. Cut into slender shapes.

Steaming is one way to prepare simple, clean tasting vegetable, free of salt, oil or seasoning. Steamers come in a variety of forms. The stainless steel fold up variety fits inside a pot to hold the vegetables above the water. Some pots are specifically made with holes in the bottom for steaming over another pot of water.
