VEGETABLES

Guide for Cooking Fresh Vegetables
Nutrition research indicates that many microwaved vegetables and fruits lose less water soluble vitamin C than
when cooked conventionally. This is due to shorter cooking time and to the fact that less cooking water is needed
when microwaving fruits and vegetables. Best of all, vegetables keep their fresh color, texture and flavor.
Vegetables should be microwaved covered with vented plastic wrap or a casserole lid. Vegetables cooked in
their skins, such as potatoes, are already so tightly covered that they should be pricked with a fork before cooking
in order to release excess steam. To assure even cooking, vegetables should be cut in uniform pieces and stirred
during the cooking time. Always add salt to water before adding vegetables. Reduce time a minute or two for
crisp-tender texture. Increase time for very soft texture. Remember to allow standing time of two to five minutes
after cooking because, as most foods do, vegetables will continue to cook after they are removed from the
microwave oven.
