VEGETABLES

Vegetables are favorite foods when cooked in the microwave. Because they cook for a shorter time and require less water than conventional cooking, vegetables cooked by microwave energy retain more vitamins than when cooked by other methods.

To cook better in the microwave, vegetables should be cut into evenly sized pieces. Baked potatoes, squash, or vegetables with skins can be pierced with a fork and arranged in a circle for the best cooking results. Uneven vegetables such as asparagus or broccoli, can be arranged in the dish alternating thick and thin ends. Stirring, rearranging, turning over and rotating are effective techniques to maximize the way microwave

energy cooks vegetables.

Consult the “COOKING FRESH VEGETABLES” chart on page 20 of this cookbook for preparation and stand time suggestions and for directions to use the automatic FRESH VEGETABLE pad. See this chart for suggested times for 4 ounce single serving of vegetables.

Use care in removing lid to prevent steam burn. Standing time is an important element in successful cooking because additional cooking will take place then. Make a decision about desired doneness after the standing time then add more time, if needed.
