Duration
As with conventional methods, when cooking vegetables with
steam the cooking duration will depend on the size and also
whether you want the vegetables to be al dente or soft/well
done. Example:
waxy potatoes, cut into quarters = approx. 18 minutes
waxy potatoes, cut in half = approx. 22 minutes
Brussels sprouts, large, al dente = approx. 12 minutes
Brussels sprouts, small, soft = approx. 12 minutes

The durations given in the chart are guidelines for fresh
vegetables. We recommend selecting the shorter cooking
duration quoted. If food is not cooked sufficiently after the
shorter time it can be put back in the oven and cooked for
longer.
