Heating and Defrosting Time Charts

VEGETABLES

Most vegetables, small and bulk portions, defrost, heat,
and cook very successfully in the microwave, retaining
fresh color and texture as well an nutritional value. The
thicker and more fibrous the vegetable, the longer the
cooking time. (ie. Root vegetables)
Frozen vegetables can be defrosted and heated in one
step. One to two tablespoons of water should be added
to frozen vegetables.
