"Hi my name is Uchendah Alete, and on behalf of Expert Village.com, in this clip we will be going over how to steam vegetables. Okay, in this steam vegetables segment, I am going to be steaming broccoli and carrots, so I just cut these things up. Once you are done chopping these up, you are ready to steam them. Now when you steam them, you have the choice of how you want it to taste.

Actually it is a little bit past the crisp stage, but as you can see they ready to get eaten."
