Hard no. Extremely hard no. This is the kind of crap our parents would make and serve.

For anyone with taste buds, let’s be abundantly clear on something: steaming vegetables is perhaps the WORST way to cook them.

Unless you are eating them raw, or using them as an ingredient in a larger dish, almost all vegetables should be roasted/grilled to bring out and caramelize their natural sugars. Steaming them leaves you with unflavorful mush. Like you’re cooking the soul out of them and leaving only a sad memory of what they could have been.

I’m sorry your parents were terrible cooks. Steamed veggies can be very delicious what done right, and it’s not that difficult to do.

This is just patently false. Steaming vegetables preserves more nutrients than both boiling and grilling. Plus, anything caramelized has Acrylamide in it.
