Tip #1
- Leeks look like a giant scallion and are related to garlic and onions. To cut leeks, trim roots and leaf ends, leaving the white portion. Slit leek from top to bottom and wash to remove dirt trapped in leaf layers.
Tip #2
- If carrots are larger than 1/2-inch at fat end, increase cooking time by 1-2 minutes or until crisply tender.
