Jacket Potatoes
Varieties of potatoes vary
in their suitability for
cooking by micro wave. We
recommend Maris Piper for
consistently good results.
The cooking times given
may need adjustment for
other varieties. The ideal
size of potato to be cooked
by microwave is
200 g-250 g (7-9 oz).
•
Cabbage should be
shredded and cooked
by power and time.
•
Fresh vegetables
require 45ml (3 tbsp)
water.
•
Certain vegetables i.e.
broccoli and
asparagus, should be
arranged so that the
tips are in the centre of
the dish, as these
require less cooking.
Before Cooking
Wash potatoes and prick
skins several times.
Spread around edge of
turntable.
