DeLonghi Microwave oven Manual page 14

GB-069IDL 8-04-2004
Greens and vegetables cooked in a microwave oven retain more of their colour and nutritional value
than when cooked in traditional ovens.
Per every 500 gr. of greens or vegetables add about 5 teaspoons of water
Greens and vegetables must always be covered with clear-sheet.
Sturdier Items (e.g., carrots) should be cut into regular-sized pieces..
Stir greens and vegetables at least once at the halfway point. Add a little salt only at the end.
Cooking times for greens and vegetables
The times indicated on the chart (timer knob) vary in relation to your oven's output power. The output
power figure is written on the rating plate placed on the rear side of the appliance. (see page 23).
