How long do I steam these puppies for?

 

[Poot]

Pot or steamer?

Where's the puking emoticon when you need it.

In a pot with boiling water, but sitting in a metal steamer atop it.

Hmm... 8 - 10 min... pull 'em out after 8, if they've got some give, they're ready... if still firm, put 'em back in for a couple more minutes. You could also taste one to determine if it's ready...

The BF recommends quasi-blanching - soaking them in ice water (10 min) first will keep them an enticing green hue once you've steamed them.

excellent. Thanks.

 

[Poot]

Enjoy!

Yeah about 8-10 minutes. Soft yet not mushy.

Tasty!!!

A good tip is to buy smallish ones only,all about the same size.

 

[IgStar]

yup, usually 8-10min is good. If a fork easily goes through it, they are good to go.

mmmmmmmm...I like mine with cheese melted on them.

 

[Boss Hog]

melted butter and salt, w/ steamed baby carrots, mashed pototatos and Jalapeno. I can't wait.

mmm, I love brussel sprouts. I never time them, just stick a fork in them to see how soft they are.

Dont forget to drink the greenish-colored water after.
Thats where all the nutrients will be. Really.

Hi he steamed them so no.

 

[lucky1]

When I steam then I remove the outer leaves then cut of the bottoms. I then take my knife and cut an X into the bottom about a quarter inch or so into the sprout. This speeds up the coking time.
