Steam cooking the best method to preserve the nutrition in vegetables, especially Broccoli, Carrot should not be boiled. it should be steam cooked to preserve its nutritious value.
wow nice video! I literally love veggies and always complained on how people usually boil them. This video must go viral, people need to know ahahahahah
I would recommend dumping the drained veggies in an ice bath. Uses a lot less water than running the tap for 5+ minutes and stops the cooking process instantly to prevent any overcooking.
Flowing cold water is much, MUCH more effective at cooling that an ice bath. Think wind-chill factor, why a breeze feels so nice. The moving air is the same temperature, but it *feels* cooler because it is more effective drawing heat from the mass that it is moving around. Water works the same way. Now, if you were to agitate, stir, and mix the vegetables while they are in the ice bath, you would have the best solution of all.
great video..i come home from work and struggle to put something together...this is perfect to have in the fridge for the week...so good..just tried it today
"so we're gonna kill...." We'll that sounds like me cooking 😂😂😂 Seriously, thankyou for these tips, I never even thought about keeping them in the fridge before either. This is so helpful
Im not a cook, but after you boil gevetables in water all the vitamines and minerals are in the water you just throw, so what your eating is just boiled fibers.
That is incorrect. Only SOME of the vitamins are lost IF you boil them for A LONG TIME. Minerals are not really lost at all, since most minerals are not destroyed by heat and are not readily water soluble. So, cooking them quickly, like I did, you lose very little nutrients.
and for the OTHER half of really smart people, its a video about boiling not steaming, you are not trying to help or give advice, you all just want to show everybody else how you know better. It's just a bunch of show offs. The video is perfect and demonstrates in a simple way how to cook vegetables. The title is not " how to cook vegetables the HEALTHIEST way possible" so stop posting the same stuff over and over. EVERYONE KNOWS that steaming keeps the vitamins, YES WE ALL GOT THIS INFORMATION WATCHING TV, EVERYONE SAYS THAT ALL THE TIME. it's not like you discovered a new planet or something. This video is perfect as it its.
Hi, chef, Thanks 🙏, I was waiting for Longtime to get this type of important video which will make my healthy, I am a not vegetarian but love to eat vegetables 🥒. Watching from my home Canada 🇨🇦.
No, not because of that!! 😂 Because the people who dislike your video perfectly know that boiling vegetables means that you'll have to get rid of all the water that has, by now, so much nutrients and that is not smart at all! On the other hand, the "dislike folks" know very well that steaming vegetables is the smart yet basic solution for this problem 🤷🏻♂️
Perhaps it would have been better to call it “How to boil vegetables the proper way”. Steaming, roasting, etc. have their own proper way and are great too...there’s never just one way to cook most foods. Bit rough to dislike a video just because you prefer another way.
Another variation, after rinse in cool water, dry, toss lightly in olive oil, put on cookie sheet and broil on hi until light char/ caramelization on top - yum
I’ll keep cooking them the old Italian why, frying pan little olive oil lots of garlic salt pepper little bit water very low heat all that about 6 minuets, you lick your fingers cheers 🍻
That is very awesome! I would do that exactly the way you did it! But because I live alone there is a pretty good idea and I cook my own dinner and I eat a lot of Vegetables! Thank you for their super idea! May God-bless you and your family amen..
I will try this, I usually overcook vegetables. You said that the green vegetables turn bright green after a minute of cooking. Is it enough, shall I stop at one minute of cooking??? Thank you!
Thanks Chef Cristian, I was looking for a way to store cooked vegetables for a busy week. It’s nice to come home knowing that you have crispy fresh vegetables already prep’d. Goes well with a nice piece of miso salmon. Thanks 😊
@@sheiladeleonto Hi, you need a steamer basket either an Oriental style bamboo like many Chinese folks use. They have levels so you can stack them to cook/steam various foods or buy a stainless steel one you put into a pot with a little water, cover it for steam to build up and you can have your veggies as soft or firm as you like. Another way is using a metal colander in a pot of water. The important part is a somewhat tight lid to keep the steam in. Steam is very hot and cooks fast. Enjoy!
I just throw the cut veggies in a steamer... take the steamer basket off and put under running water, then throw a cup of lentils in the hot water and put it back on the heat... that way I take advantage of the hot water....
What are the benefits if any of slow cooking vegetables in only a moderate amount of water and some cooking oil like rice bran for say about 10 minutes? Adding onions, garlic, chillies, cummin seeds etc. as required. Onions are supposed to be anti-acidic. Also, using a steam pressure cooker on low flame for 5-7 minutes of cooking after this?
no matter how you cook..make sure you dont over cook. What I see is, lot of people over cook their vegetables. When you over cook your vegetables all the proteins and vitamins will get lost due to overheat. If you want your vegetables and food to be intact with its proteins and vitamins cook just enough to digest...do not make it too soft. Cook it such that its till crunchy and make sure its color is not changed much.
Wow! Was going to eat my veg with gravy and lots of sauces but cooked then sort of like you did and just ate them on their own because they were so tasty. Being vegan and not eaten animals for over 30 years, this is a god send. (Atheist by the way) And 53 so about time I learnt. And who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Wow, well done Chef Cristian, simple n amazing. How long does for the carrots to cook? And how long for the green vegetables to cook also, approximately?!
This depends on how soft or crunchy you like them. So, to answer your question, you just have to experiment yourself to see how long it takes to make them the consistency that you like them.
After boiling the vegetables n throwing the water how does the minerals n vitamin remain in the vegetables? It is very interesting for people who work to cook n freeze it .can you reply that Question please ?
Because the cook time is so short, you are destroying very little vitamins. Minerals are not destroyed by heat. You probably lost the same amount of minerals by simply washing the vegetables in cold water - very minimal loss.
Fantastic video! Many thanks for sharing! Many people don't know that you should add a little butter or olive oil to your veggies in order to help the body to assimilate the nutrients in them. Also add a little salt and pepper to taste to make them totally delicious! God Bless 💕
Thank you so much for posting this video. Can you please give us a list of vegetables which you have used in this video. Also please provide a list of vegetables which we can use for steam/boil cooking.
A little tip for after cooking the veggies. What I do is I drain the veggies into the basket portion of a salad spinner. I fill the salad spinner container with water and ice cubes(optional). Insert the basket of veggies in the water for about 5 min. Dump the water out of the container, and then spin the veggies dry.
You really should just make a fresh batch of veggies whenever you want to eat them. It's so quick and easy! You should never have to freeze veggies. These will last in the fridge for a few days, and by that time, you can make a new batch.
I am a Bharatiya (Indian), we eat vegetables every day. And if my family sees me cooking vegetables in this way, then they will not like it because this way the vegetables will be delicious but many of their nutritional elements will be exhausted. Maybe not that much because you have not boiled them too much. Just fry them in any little regional oil then add 2-5 tbsp of water and cover it, sprinkle it with spices. Want to eat it with any type of bread then make it more spicy by adding gravy, garam masala, etc
INDIANS , NORTH TO SOUTH AND EAST TO WEST ARE SEA DIFFERENT. I AM BENGALI AND IF I EAT SOUTH INDIAN TAMIL FOOD , I WILL DIE FOR SURE > HIGHEST PEPTIC ULCERS (GASTRIC ULCERS ) IN THE WORLD ARE SOUTH INDIAN TAMILS ! WE USED TO TREAT GASTRIC CARCINOMA FROM SOUTH IN CALCUTTA HOSPITALS BY THOUSANDS.
The most common causes of peptic ulcers are infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and long-term use of aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (Advil, Aleve, others). Stress and spicy foods do not cause peptic ulcers. However, they can make your symptoms worse.
I love this & wow thanks I been cooking vegetables the wrong way lol 😂 Omg 2:21 on the video he said We are going to kill this lmfao said we are going to cooks this 🤣😂😂😅😅💀💀💀
Great info. Thanks! Maybe you should run cold water down the sink while you pour the boiling water down the drain to avoid damaging any pvc fittings under the sink.
I just moved Off Grid and don’t have access to that much water for cooking them that way. I’ll stick to steaming them in a frying pan with a lid and with filtered water or stock if I have some handy. Cheers
I think your way is fine, but I'm a little concerned that you're living off-grid and you don't have enough water to fill a pot for cooking. I would assume you've got some kind of grey-water system so nothing that goes down the drain is wasted.
I think he said until the water starts boiling again. When you drop in the veggies, that brings the overall temperature down so the water stops boiling for a bit. When the water is boiling again that means the veggies are close to boiling water temperature, cooked!
Im ignorant about vegetables but i eat it raw if boiled i must drink the water to(usualy i put just enough water to cook vegetables to not worry the boiling hot water steal all my minerals )
i think you might be on the right track but the problem is produce has lots of pesticides on it unfortunately -- even the organic kind. So if you probably have to do a pre-rinse and then boil them otherwise you're drinking poisonous water.
@@Fernandez218 true, but there are pesticides in coffee and other products as well. At least you're getting veggies with your pesticides in this case haha
Always add a little butter or olive oil to your cooked veggies. It helps the body to absorb the nutrients. And a little salt and pepper added also makes them delicious!
When I slice the broccoli, I separate the denser, sliced, broccoli trunks from the broccoli crowns. I cook the carrots, as Chef Cristian does, then add the broccoli sliced trunks and let them cook for a minute or so, then add the broccoli crowns, then asparagus, then the squash. Let them return to a boil but keep checking for doneness. Then I remove them at the perfect al dente level, drain them, and put them into a cold water bath that has been furthered chilled with ice cubes. Then, they go to the serving table and call the friars to dinner. I'll have to try adding salt to the water bath; that is a new suggestion from the gentleman below.
Question please, You say don't cook beyond this point. I'm thinking "take it off fire at this point" but you say to bring it to a boil? sorry for the dumb question but which is it?
Too damn "crisp" for my liking. I prefer my veggies cooked until soft, especially broccoli. Add a little olive oil & garlic and they're delicious. I'm sick of people telling me that veggies have to be crisp.

This was a revelation for someone who's used to eating overcooked vegetables. Thank you!

Glad you found this video helpful.
Steam cooking the best method to preserve the nutrition in vegetables, especially Broccoli, Carrot should not be boiled. it should be steam cooked to preserve its nutritious value.
drink the broth as well
Boiling vegetables for a few minutes won't deplete the nutrients, but excessive boiling or steaming will.
Thanks!! I'm trying to lose weight next summer and I put all these videos on my playlist and this one I needed the most thanks!! 🙏😁
Just keep the water as it has vitamins in it ...use it as broth and use it in soup etc
Yes thats a good idea :)
Or just drink it raw
That’s what I do. Great comment
What about pesticides ? Not everyone has access to organic vegetables.
l
Better is steam vegetables, you keep vitamins.
Some people don’t like steamed
Thanks that's a nice idea!
Can I steam chicken breast together with the vegetables too?
wow nice video! I literally love veggies and always complained on how people usually boil them. This video must go viral, people need to know ahahahahah
You have saved life by your cooking demonstration, for a long time I was off track. Thanks chef.

That bowl contains more vegetables than I've eaten all my life
One major benefit is that you eat MORE vege this way than in raw salad. I love salad but the typical amount doesn't suffice your nutrition needs

Geez, you stole my recipe 😂
I have been cooking vege this way for more than a year. Taste great with some vinegar and olive oil.
I don't understand why people dislike this video when it means something important
Because they are really unhappy with their lives. Imagine, being so miserable that you have to go on RUclips and dislike vegetable cooking videos!!?!?

Can we re-use that boiled water. That will be beneficial. Isn't it?
Why not keep the water and make soup with it instead of throwing it away?
Wow, I just did this exactly and the vegetables turned out great. Thank you!
Dang straight!! Veggies are great!
Even I can do this!lmbo
Tried it, and from now on this is my veg prep!! Thanks man

If you like them firm, stop the cooking at 60 - 120 seconds. If you like them soft, you'll have to cook them longer.

How do you reheat ?
I suggest to make it steam and put inside the steamer according to their hardness...avoid not to lost some of vegetables nutrients.
I steam my veggies, it saves the nutrients and no water waste.
Idk how to steam🧍🏻♀️

Nice tip!
I have seen chefs add a little olive oil to the water to make the vegetables a brighter green, what are your thoughts on that.
Adding oils to the water will not affect or change vegetable color in any way. Temperature is what creates the color change.
For how long do we boil the vegetables approx?
What’s a good way to store veg away ? Can you freeze them after cooking from raw state to cook
You really should just make a fresh batch of veggies whenever you want to eat them. It's so quick and easy! You should never have to freeze veggies. These will last in the fridge for a few days, and by that time, you can make a new batch.
Im only searching for this because i need to do this for a cooking video for my class.
How about the water after we used for the vegetable, can we keep it so we can use it for making soup, is it possible?
Yes you can use as vegetable broth
Can you re-heat? Best way? Thanks!
How do you reheat the veggies after taken out from storage in the fridge?
Thanks very much for that video because I really wanted to know how to keep my broc green
I am a Bharatiya (Indian), we eat vegetables every day. And if my family sees me cooking vegetables in this way, then they will not like it because this way the vegetables will be delicious but many of their nutritional elements will be exhausted.

The peptic ulcers are likely due to the high lectin content in the foods you eat.
The most common causes of peptic ulcers are infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and long-term use of aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (Advil, Aleve, others).

Great info. Thanks! Maybe you should run cold water down the sink while you pour the boiling water down the drain to avoid damaging any pvc fittings under the sink.
Boiling water does not even come close to being hot enough to do any slight damage to PVC pipes. This is not an issue. Thanks for your comment.
I thank you for that cooking to save the proper way to cook vegetables .
Fantastic! Thanks so much for the great tip.
What is the best way to reheat (and for how long) those vegetables stored in the fridge ?
I just watched a video about people deep-frying burgers and this is helping me with phantom heart attack,thank you
I just moved Off Grid and don’t have access to that much water for cooking them that way. I’ll stick to steaming them in a frying pan with a lid and with filtered water or stock if I have some handy. Cheers
Off grid, sounds interesting, whereabouts?
I think your way is fine, but I'm a little concerned that you're living off-grid and you don't have enough water to fill a pot for cooking. I would assume you've got some kind of grey-water system so nothing that goes down the drain is wasted.
Off-grid? How do you get internet?
HOPE IT WORKS W/O SALT, HEART PROBLEMS ONLY REASON I HAVE TO EAT VEGGIES, HOW MANY MINS DID U LEAVE GEENS IN?
I think he said until the water starts boiling again. When you drop in the veggies, that brings the overall temperature down so the water stops boiling for a bit. When the water is boiling again that means the veggies are close to boiling water temperature, cooked!

Ty you smashed it, I can’t believe I didn’t know how to cook veg! I usually pay a £1 for a small bag of veg no MORE
So amazing skill. I love it. thank you very much!
Thank you for watching.
Can you keep like this and freeze it, keeping the vitamins?
It is not advisable to freeze vegetables, as it will affect the consistency and make them mushy when thawed and re-heated.
Today I decided to try and be a vegan, just bought all my vegetables .day one
banglajobs still going?
banglajobs so how was your vegan trial?
Good job & thanks for not talking not related to the subject
Im ignorant about vegetables but i eat it raw if boiled i must drink the water to(usualy i put just enough water to cook vegetables to not worry the boiling hot water steal all my minerals )

How do you reheat the veg ?
Super helpful. Thank you so much!
Thank you, I really needed this.
May I suggest...save the water the veg was cooked in, (don't add salt) let it cool and drink... it's bursting with goodness!
. My grandmother taught us to do this! I adore the taste!
So funny I thought of the same thing. All the nutrients in that water, with a slice of lemon, they should be good after they have cooled down.
i think you might be on the right track but the problem is produce has lots of pesticides on it unfortunately -- even the organic kind. So if you probably have to do a pre-rinse and then boil them otherwise you're drinking poisonous water.

Pretty much.I prefer to cook in water less,and really cook them in Extra Virgin o.o.
love the style. I eat lots of vege.
Question please,
You say don't cook beyond this point. I'm thinking "take it off fire at this point" but you say to bring it to a boil?
sorry for the dumb question but which is it?
When you bring it back to a simmer, don't cook them beyond the bright green color.
You're the best! Thanks Im a complete beginner! @@TampaBayChef
Is the salted water necessary? Can u do it without salt?
It makes the vegetables taste better, that's all.
@@TampaBayChef It really does - and also a little pepper and butter! 💞
Steaming vegetables is better ❤️
Yes , and hello utuber why not steam ?
How much time does it take to change the colour to bright green
Too damn "crisp" for my liking. I prefer my veggies cooked until soft, especially broccoli. Add a little olive oil & garlic and they're delicious. I'm sick of people telling me that veggies have to be crisp.
