•  Schedule cooking of fresh vegetables so that they will be served soon after they are cooked. If it is necessary to 
prepare them in advance, they can be plunged into cold water, drained thoroughly and held under refrigeration 
until needed for service. Five pounds of cold cooked vegetables can be reheated in the steamer in 5 to 10 
minutes, depending upon the variety.
