You will need – carrots, water
1. Peel the carrots or, if they are young, rub with the hard side of a sponge and rinse with water.
2. Place the carrots on the steamer wire rack, making sure there is water in the lower compartment.
3. Turn on the steamer, mark 40 minutes and wait until the end of cooking.

The principle is the same, only vegetables are placed in a container for steaming, and 5 minutes are added to the cooking time – this time is needed for the water to boil.
How to quickly cook carrots
If there is no time at all while the water is boiling, peel the carrots and cut into slices – the carrot slices cook faster – only 20 minutes. You can also buy peeled carrots and even grated ones – these will cook even faster. You can also buy frozen carrots (mini or in circles) – they are already cooked, you just have to heat them up.
For babies boil carrots until completely boiled, and after peeling, it is recommended to puree.
