1 pound carrots  
When Shopping: Look for firm, smooth carrots, and avoid carrots with  
cracks or any that have become soft or limp. Store airtight in the  
refrigerator up to 2 weeks.  
Preparing for Cooking: Peel carrots with a vegetable peeler, and cut off  
ends. Cut carrots crosswise into 1/4-inch slices.  
Boiling: Add 1 inch of water (and 1/4 teaspoon salt if desired) to a  
medium saucepan (about 2-quart size). Cover and heat to boiling over high  
heat. Add the carrot slices. Cover and heat to boiling again. Once water  
is boiling, reduce heat just enough so water bubbles gently. Cook covered  
1
2 to 15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork; drain in a  
strainer.  
Steaming: Place a steamer basket in 1/2 inch of water in a skillet or  
saucepan. The water should not touch the bottom of the basket. Place  
carrot slices in basket. Cover tightly and heat to boiling over high heat.  
Once water is boiling, reduce heat to low. Steam covered 9 to 11 minutes  
or until tender when pierced with a fork.  
Microwaving: Place carrot slices and 1/4 cup water in a 1-quart  
microwavable casserole. Cover with plastic wrap, folding back 2-inch edge  
to vent. Microwave on High 6 to 8 minutes, stirring after 4 minutes, until  
tender when pierced with a fork. Let stand covered 1 minute; drain in a  
strainer.
