CHAPTER 3 – USING THE OVEN: SUGGESTIONS AND TIME GRIDS
3.3 - COOKING ANTIPASTI AND FIRST COURSES
Soups in general require less liquid because in a microwave oven evaporation is rather minimal. Salt must be
added only at the end of cooking or during standing time as it dehydrates the food.
It is fair to say that the time needed to cook rice in the microwave oven is more or less equal to the time taken to cook
it on a stove in the traditional manner. The advantage of preparing a risotto in a microwave oven is that it does not
need stirring continually (this only needs to be done 2 or 3 times).
TYPE
• Lasagne
• Gnocchi alla romana
• Macaroni
• Risotto
• Pizza
• Fresh Quiche Lorraine
• Frozen Quiche Lorraine

3.4 - COOKING MEAT

Cooking is closely linked to the size and uniformity of the food which is to be cooked: kebabs cook before a roast
because they consist of smaller, more evenly-sized pieces of meat. To keep roasts, chicken and kebabs moist, it is
advisable to add 1 or 2 cups of water at the start of cooking.
TYPE
•Roasts (pork, beef)
• Meatloaf
• Meatloaf
• Whole chicken
• Pieces of chicken
• Kebabs
•Goulash
• Chicken breast
