Can I cook vegetables in this?

I haven't done so but I think you can use it to cook leafy vegetables, or something easy to cook like broccoli. You will get the same effect as if cooking in a regular microwavable bowl.

yes you can sometimes I add veg. to the rice and you can also cook them alone. with butter and seasonings

I haven't done so but I would think it would work. I have another, flatter, type and I use it all the time.

I never tried vegetables here, but there is a microwave vegetable steamer on amazon that works just fine.

Well you could certainly add veggies to the rice you are cooking. I would use the veggies that cook a bit quicker such as zucchini, tomatoes or mushrooms. Not carrots which take longer. There is not a separate cooking slot/space for just veggies.

yes, you can can vegetables. I have Miss Vickies pressure cooker recipes and it tells how and hundreds of recipes.

Yes you can do as described but it isn't really steaming but rather boiling the veggies. The legs on this unit are nubs and not long enough to lift veggies put of water. A steam basket would be more appropriate. There is one made of stainless with 1" legs built to open (blossom like a flower) to fit the vessel being used to cook with. BTW it doesn't take a few inches to steam veggies for most families. The less water used the faster the water will create steam.

I have not done that but I'm sure you could. The only issue I can think of with that is you might have to adjust your cooking time a little bit depending on how much you use.

it could easily blend the vegetables if they were cooked first- if not- i suggest the food processor attachment or maybe you want a juicer? The blender is a 6c capacity. Don't put that much in in all at once.

I would say no, unless you are light eaters. I cook for two, usually make a cup of rice too. At that rate, the wok is comfortable to keep your vegetables, etc. moving. The cook simply needs room to work inside the wok, without constraint or pitching things over the side. If you are cooking for 4, with the intention of that being the bulk of the meal, I would consider going larger. I hope this helps!

No sure. We only use it to cook fresh garden vegetable and meat. So I am not sure.

I steamed butternut squash in the basket in the pressure cooker. First order of business was to remove the handles so fit. You could cook other veggies such as beets, potatoes, turnips etc

No, I don't think so. Are you speaking of sealing jars, like canning, or steaming actual veggies? You could do a quart of carrots to purée easily, or beets, but it is really better for a couple steaming vegetables for dinner.

The pan is fabulous, and probably could roast some vegies. I have never tried vegetables alone only with a roast and it was fabulous. I would just be careful and make sure that what ever liquid you use does not evaporate. The rack would be especially good for larger vegetables.

I cook my vegetables in it. We are vegetarians, so I have not tried meat or fish. I have never re-heated in it. Basically the water in the bottom boils, which steams the vegetables. No nutrients are left in the water and more are in your vegetables. Yes, one can add spices to the vegetables. I would be more likely to take the cooked vegetables out and add them as I put them in to the serving bowl.

Not possible. It is designed to chop and grate fruits and vegetables, not to mix.

You definitely can. It is a stainless steel so it should not be a problem. However, make sure you set it on a medium flame because the handles can sometimes go bad with continuous exposure to high heat. But the body of the cooker itself is of a very good quality steel and can be used as pan for sautéing, as pressure cooker and of course for deep frying too.

The Lekue does veggies any way you like them. My model has a red tray into which I pour olive oil and water. The steaming of vegetables depends on how long you microwave them. I think it takes some experimentation ~ depending on the power of your microwave

I haven't done it but I see no reason not to. You may have to adjust your timing and add veggies last sine they take less time to cook. Hope it will wok out for you
