Adapting recipes for the microwave
oven
If you would like to adapt your favourite
recipes for the microwave, you should take
note of the following: Shorten cooking
times by a third to a half. Follow the
example of the recipes in this book.
Foods which have a high moisture con-
tent such as meat, fish, poultry, vegetables,
fruit, stews and soups can be prepared in
your microwave without any difficulty.

Ingredients
200 g mushrooms, sliced
50 g onion, finely chopped
300 ml meat stock
300 ml cream
25 g flour
25 g butter or margarine
salt and pepper
1 egg
150 g cream
Ratatouille
Utensils: Bowl with lid (2 l capacity)
Ingredients
5 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
50 g onion, sliced
250 g aubergine, cubed
200 g courgette, cubed

75 g fennel, large cubes
1 bouquet garni

Foods which have little moisture, such
as platters of food, should have the surface
moistened prior to heating or cooking.
The amount of liquid to be added to
raw foods, which are to be braised, should
be reduced to about two thirds of the
quantity in the original recipe. If necessary,
add more liquid during cooking.
The amount of fat to be added can be
reduced considerably. A small amount of
butter, margarine or oil is sufficient to
flavour food. For this reason your
microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat
foods as part of a diet.
