Vegetables/Vegetarian - Panasonic NN-CT890S Operating Instructions And Cookery Book

• Root vegetables. i.e.
carrots, swede, should be
cut into slices, strips or
cubes.
• Do not mix fresh and
frozen vegetables as the
cooking times may be dif-
ferent.
• 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.
Jacket Potatoes -
Varieties of potatoes vary in their suitability for cooking by micro wave. We recommend Maris Piper for
consistently good results. The cooking times given may need adjustment for other varieties. The ideal
size of potato to be cooked by microwave is 175 g - 250 g (6-9 oz).
Before Cooking
Wash potatoes and prick skins several times.
Spread around edge of turntable.
Vegetables and Vegetarian
• Cabbage should be
shredded and cooked by
power and time.
• Fresh vegetables require
45 ml (3 tbsp) of water.
• 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.
Cooking by microwave only
After Cooking
Remove from oven and wrap in aluminium foil to
retain the heat. Leave to stand for 5 mins.
