No vegetable should be soaked before boiling. Cabbage and cauliflower, when prepared, should be put into luke-warm water for a few minutes. The insects and caterpillars will crawl out and be found dead in the bowl. After being in the warm water wash the vegetables quickly in cold water, then boil at once. Fresh green vegetables are often spoilt by being left in water.
