Tips:
- Blanch carrots in boiling water until tender-crisp to soften, if needed, and peel celery if too stringy.
- To make hard-cooked eggs, steam in steamer for 12 to 15 minutes or place eggs in bottom of large rondeau in single layer; pour in enough cold water to cover eggs by at least 1 inch (2.5 cm). Bring to boil over high heat; cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 15 minutes; drain and rinse under cold water. Peel eggs.
