Bring the water to a boil. Place shredded cabbage or wedges into the steamer basket and place the basket in the pan of boiling water. Cover and cook shredded cabbage for 5 to 8 minutes and wedges for 10 to 12 minutes. Cook only until tender-crisp.
I prefer steaming the potatoes. The amount of time required to boil potatoes depends on the size and cut. Potatoes that are boiled whole typically take 20-30 minutes. You can reduce the cooking time by cutting the potato into cubes, which usually cook in 10 minutes. To determine if your potato is thorough boiled, poke them gently with a fork. The fork will easily penetrate the potato when it is cooked completely through.
