Thawing Frozen Veggies

June 4, 2010

Frozen VeggiesWhen preparing dinner in the evening, I go about all the typical kitchen tasks during the prep time until I realize that the water at the kitchen sink has finally gotten nice and hot. At that time I pour the desired amount of any frozen vegetable that I plan to serve (not one with sauces) into a colander, set the colander into a bowl, and add hot water.

I rinse the vegetables until they are broken apart and then let the vegetable sit in the hot water while I continue cooking the meal. When I am ready to cook them (usually in the microwave), I drain the vegetables, pour them into the same bowl and add a very small amount of water (you can add whatever you typically would at this point).

The vegetables are almost cooked by this time so it takes a fraction of the cooking time and dinner will be ready even quicker. This has worked just fine so far with green beans, corn, broccoli, and mixed vegetables.
