Most vegetables, small and bulk portions, defrost, heat, and cook very successfully in the microwave, retaining fresh color and texture as well an nutritional value. The thicker and more fiberous the vegetable, the longer the cooking time. (ie. Root vegetables)

Frozen vegetables can be defrosted and heated in one step. One to two tablespoons of water should be added to frozen vegetables.
