How many minutes do you steam brussels sprouts?

Answer 1

Take a plain old pot. Fill halfway to three quarters full with water. Put some brussel sprouts in the pot. Turn on your stove burner. Put lid on pot. Wait until you look down and see bubbles in the pot. Take the lid off. Stick a fork into one of the brussel sprouts. If it is tender, they are ready. If not, keep cooking. When tender and fork comes out cleanly, turn off stove burner. Take pot off stove. Eat brussel sprouts, but careful, they're hot. Enjoy.

Answer 2

There are 2 methods you could use:

1. Buy yourself a vegetable steamer.
2. Steam them in a microwave by putting them in a bowl, put a shallow amount of water in by poring it over the broccoli, cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Then cook on HIGH for about 5 minutes.

Answer 3

To prepare, rinse with cold water and drain. Trim stem ends without cutting the base of leaves or the Brussels sprouts will come apart during cooking. Cut a shallow "x" in the base of large sprouts, so the stems will cook faster. To help Brussels sprouts cook more quickly and evenly, you can cut large sprouts in half lengthwise or into quarters. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes to bring out the health-promoting qualities. It is very important not to overcook Brussels sprouts. Not only do they lose their nutritional value and taste but they will begin to emit the unpleasant sulfur smell associated with overcooked cruciferous vegetables. Steaming is the best way to cook Brussels sprouts, because it preserves flavor and nutrition, keeps the sprouts intact, and reduces the potential for strong flavors. Bring 1 to 2 inches of water to a boil in a pot. Arrange the sprouts in a steamer basket, making sure the water does not seep into the bottom of the basket. Cover and steam. Between 5 to 20 minutes should be just about right, depending on your steaming setup and size and quantity of sprouts. Test for tenderness by inserting the tip of a knife into the stem end, which should be barely tender. Perfectly cooked Brussels sprouts have a crisp, dense texture and a slightly sweet, bright, and "green" taste.
