USING THE MICROWAVE MODE (CONTINUED)
COOKING GUIDE FOR FRESH VEGETABLES
Use a suitable glass Pyrex bowl with lid. Add 30 - 45 ml cold water (2 - 3 tbsp) for every 250 g
unless another water quantity is recommended (see table). Cook covered for the minimum
time (see table). Continue cooking to get the result you prefer. Stir once during and after
cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during the 3 minute standing time.
Hint :
Cut fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The smaller they are cut the quicker
they are cooked.
Note :
All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power (900 W).
