COOKING TIPS
Cooking vegetables
•
Use fresh vegetables if possible. If the vegetables have become limp because they have
been kept for too long, you can refresh them by soaking them in cold water for a little
while.
•
Use a large dish to cook vegetables, so the bottom of the dish is not covered by too thick
a layer.
•
Preferably cook vegetables with the water that clings to them.
•
Always cover the dish with a lid or microwave cling film.
•
Do not add salt. The salts naturally present in the vegetables usually provide enough
flavour. If you must add salt, do so after cooking.
•
Cook vegetables for as short a time as possible. Allow for them continuing to cook after the
microwave has been switched off.
•
Check whether the vegetables are done by pricking them with a fork or skewer.
Cooking fish
•
Fish should be cooked gradually. With thin fish, fatty fish or small portions, therefore, set
the power level to 30%. In other cases, you can safely set the power level a bit higher.
Allow, however, for the food continuing to cook after the microwave has been switched off.
Fish is done when the flesh has become opaque.
