I sauté my veggies in olive oil and red pepper flakes

Steaming retains the most nutrients, but microwaving them is a surprising second. That being said, cooking method and/or nutrient loss doesn't matter that much if you're consuming several servings of a variety of veg and fruit a day. It only makes a significant difference for people who only have 1-2 servings a day.

Steam, you don't want to lose the nutrients of your vegetables

This is a website for adults, you can be mature enough not to get mad over a colloquialism.

>>13694934
what about steeping the vegetables and drinking the resulting liquid from a tea cup?

Boiling because I'm a minimalist. But also because I usually either put the vegs to boil in a stew or re-use the water they've boiled in (which is now a vegetable bouillon)

Hahaha so in turn you get mad at him for his disdain of abbreviations? Yet you don't even know the term! hardly a proponent!
You've got to be the tiniest asshole on this face of the earth, kiddo.

>>13695906
it's both an abbreviation and a colloquialism you pretentious ass

>>13695913
No, the colloquialism is veggie not veg. Veg is a german word you silly goose.

fpbp & /thread

Steam, but a lot of older people seem to think that steaming them to the point where it's like they were boiled is somehow better than just boiling.

What's the right level? How firm should they be?

you call them sneed hams despite the fact that they are obviously grilled

When I cook for other people, I boil the veg and drink the water to steal their nutrients.

>>13696490
imo theyre right around perfect when you can easily pierce them with a fork but they dont just slide right off again, so done through but with a little bit of bite left

>>13694934
I've been know at times to take a whole head of cauliflower, put it in a pot, poor a small amount of water in, then some back after it boils/steams itself to where I can eat the whole thing with a fork.

They're not wrong. The cooking effect may be the same, but for many products there's far less extracted into the liquid. Simply said: the result is not as watery.
Also, if you have a steamer that catches the water that drips off, you can use the little that does get extracted for sauces f.e.
