  • I always cut up my veggies. But it's never too late to learn more. - 5/18/2013 10:13:29 AM
  • If I don't cut them, no one will eat them, so I'm going to cut them anyway, makes sense to me............... - 4/16/2013 10:33:35 PM
  • Very interesting - I have now started cooking my veggies in the microwave - my daughter has done it for years - but, I have just discovered it. What a difference in the taste and color of the veggies. Much more enjoyable... - 4/3/2013 11:49:14 AM
  • Shows why I like my vegetables bite size or whole, not chopped up into little bits - and, yes, I prefer veggies that still have a crunch (and many of the raw - finally, I prefer my veggies steamed or nuked if eating after cooking .

    That's the way my Mom cooked them back in the dark ages (I'm 66). When I went to a friends house, I understood why they didn't like eating mushy green beans or soft asparagus out of a can.

    Blah!

    I don't know what the veggies being cooked were for (looked like a Mediterranean dish to to me). but if that was virgin olive oil and the veggies were drained ..... ? - 3/27/2013 5:58:22 PM
  • I liked this video! The cutting of veggies makes sence! - 3/19/2013 10:24:25 PM
  • You should microwave in glass cookware, never plastic like is shown in this video. Raw is also good, too. - 3/8/2013 3:10:13 AM
  • I never heard of nutrients being lost by cutting up vegetables. We always buy precut veggies at the store. May have to rethink that.... - 2/12/2013 4:06:17 AM
  • I learned something new about broccoli & folic acid. - 2/11/2013 10:31:44 PM
  • Who doesn't already know this? And did you see how much oil there was in the pan at the end? How is that healthy...!? - 2/10/2013 3:29:05 AM

  • I have been cooking for 50 years and you can teach a old dog new tricks. This was something I didn't know. Awesome

  • liked it. I usually cut my veggies in big pieces. Green beans I like whole. I steam or roast most of the time. - 9/18/2012 8:40:48 AM
