Cooking with the microwave
Note:
Preparation tips
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. You can also use a plate or microwave film to cover the dish. Take ready
meals out of the packaging.
¡ Distribute the food flat in the cookware. Food which lies flat cooks more quickly than food which is piled high.
¡ After heating, leave the food to rest for 1–2ºminutes.
¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cookware can become very hot. Use oven gloves.
¡ The food will retain most of its natural flavor. Use salt and seasonings sparingly.
¡ Cut vegetables and potatoes into equal sized pieces. Add 1–2 tbsp water for every 100 g. Stir while cooking.
¡ Add double the amount of liquid to the rice.
