How long does it take to steam cabbage?

The steaming time for cabbage will vary depending on the thickness of the cabbage wedges and the amount of cabbage you are steaming. Generally, it takes around 5-10 minutes to steam cabbage wedges until they are tender and crisp. To check if the cabbage is done, insert a fork into the thickest part of the wedge. If the fork goes through easily, the cabbage is ready. Alternatively, you can place a small amount of cold water in the bottom of the steamer and then steam the cabbage. This will create steam and help to evenly cook the cabbage. Be sure to drain any excess water from the steamer before serving the cabbage.
