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.
