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 placing them in cold water for a
little while.
–
Use a large dish to cook vegetables, so that
the bottom of the dish is not covered by too
thick a layer.
–
Cook vegetables with the water that
adheres to them, unless otherwise stated in
the table.

–
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 or
not with a fork or skewer.
