If I steam new spuds and put mint in their compartment, will everything else I steam in the other compartments taste of mint too? if so is there any way to just get my spuds tasting minty and still steam cook them?

I'm sure one of you clever lot will know!

Thanks :-))

you could steam them separately ...?

I would say , yes they will and no you cant...........

cook them seperate from everything else.....

It shouldn't... otherwise everything would come out tasting like the strongest food cooked ... broccoli tasting like cauli... in fact, everything tasting like cauli!! lol Yuk!!

I would give it a go.... lol!! Good luck!

Love

I dont use a steamer, so I cant really comment but why not just add a sprig of mint just as the spuds are cooked? you'll get a nice taste and the lovely taste of the spuds won't be overwhealmed!

ps Maz - we are trying Arum Pilots tonight! Rockets were superb - we are on a taste fest to see which ones are the best!))))

blimey you lot are fast ... is there nuffin on the telly?!

Stella - only got a stacking steamer so gotta do it all together

Whirley and Daff - well, one of you is right lmao just dunno which one!!

Thanks anyway! any more for any more and I'll take the majority decision!

Jac I have no idea what these are cos I never saw the label (plot neighbour got 'em and just gave me half in a bag!). but we had some the other day and they were lush :-)

will prob end up boiling them and steaming everything else, just in case! don't think minty parsnips will go down too well with Jamie!

Parsnips???? where are they from? I dont like em but OH does, but I thought they were a winter veg. (see how great my veggie knowledge is - lol)

Think you are right about the spuds - just boil em, and add the mint - lovely jubbly!

If you have a metal colander, You could put the potatoes in that and then put it over a pan of boiling water and steam them that way. I have done that very successfully. Oh, and put a lid over the top......

Jac the parsnips are from Tesco luv lol got some coming up but like you say, not ready yet

Posh that's a good idea - shame I haven't got one lol - might invest tho when I go shopping!

Lynda I really need to use all 3 tiers today, doing the meat in the bottom one, then I've got spuds, parsnips and carrots (also from Tesco Jac!) may even bung some broccoli in too and really push the boat out ;-) can use that idea another time tho when I'm not doing meat in there.

Thanks again girls :-)

However you cook your veg Maz - enjoy!

For goodness sake Maz... go out and buy a ready meal :))))))))))

Pop potatoes and mint in a little water and microwave in less than 10 minutes.
