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 once after cooking. Add salt,
herbs or butter after cooking.
Cover during a standing time of 3 minutes.
Hint : Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The
smaller they are cut, the quicker they will cook.
All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power (800 W).

REHEATING
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that
conventional ovens hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide.
The times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about
+18 to +20 °C or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7 °C.
Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat – they tend to overcook
and dry out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be
more successful.
Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 800 W power while others should be
reheated using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a
lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to
heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible,
stir again before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent
eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir before, during and
after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We
recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid
overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food.
