CHAPTER 3 – USING THE OVEN: SUGGESTIONS AND TIME GRIDS

3.5 - COOKING SIDE DISHES AND VEGETABLES

Vegetables cooked in a microwave oven preserve their colour and nutritional value better than in traditional cooking.
Wash and peel the vegetables before starting to cook.
The larger vegetables should be cut into evenly-sized pieces.
Add approx. 5 spoonfuls of water for every 500g of vegetables (vegetables which have a high fibre content require more water).
The vegetables should always be covered with transparent film.
Stir at least once halfway through cooking and add a little salt only at the end.
Warning: the cooking times in the table are purely intended as guidelines and are on the basis of the food's weight and initial tem-
perature as well as its consistency and structure.
