Vegetables/Vegetarian - Panasonic NN-CD767MBPQ Cookery Book & Operating Instructions

Vegetables and Vegetarian
- Root vegetables. i.e. Swede, carrots should be cut into slices, strips or cubes.
- Do not mix fresh and frozen vegetables as the cooking times may be different.
- Never add salt to vegetables before microwaving.
- Always cook vegetables in a dish that is a suitable size. Use flat dishes not basins. Always cover with microwave cling film or a lid.
• 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.
