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.
