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.
