[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Veggies should be cooked with a little fat so you can absorb the fat-soluble vitamins, so steaming is not necessarily healthier.

The best method I've tried is a low flame in a thick-bottomed pot with just enough fat to toss them in, not enough to be greasy.  The only water should be what's left over from washing them - shake the excess off.  If they need to soften or sweat a little, scatter a tiny pinch of salt.  Cover tightly, check and stir every two minutes until almost done.  They should be very tasty, tender, and brightly-colored.  [/quote]

True, but this is assuming that people are not already eating fat with their veggies.

Right now I am eating half of an entire baked spaghetti squash with pasta sauce that has turkey sausage in in. For my eating habits, adding in oil to my veggies would, just be adding more fat. Rarely do I eat a veggie without fat, be it hummus, a salad that contains dressing, avocado, or something. Most people's plate contains a fat.

Yes, we use a steamer basket, like others I avoid the microwave. If I'm looking for a different flavor, I might saute my veggies or roast them in the oven. Roasting is actually my favorite method, but steaming is much easier when I'm in a crunch, which is most of the time since I work.[/quote]
