RECIPES

ADAPTING RECIPES FOR THE

MICROWAVE OVEN

If you would like to adapt your favourite recipes for the microwave, you should take note of the following:

Shorten cooking times by a third to a half. Follow the example of the recipes in this book.

Foods which have a high moisture content such as meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews and soups can be prepared in your microwave without any difficulty. Foods which have little moisture, such as platters of food, should have the surface moistened prior to heating or cooking.

The amount of liquid to be added to raw foods, which are to be braised, should be reduced to about two thirds of the quantity in the original recipe. If necessary, add more liquid during cooking.

The amount of fat to be added can be reduced considerably. A small amount of butter, margarine or oil is sufficient to flavour food. For this reason your microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat foods as part of a diet.

HOW TO USE RECIPES

All the recipes in this book are calculated on the basis of 4 servings - unless otherwise stated.

Recommendations relating to suitable utensils and the total cooking times are given at the beginning of every recipe.

As a rule the quantities shown are assumed to be wholly consumable, unless specifically indicated otherwise.

When eggs are given in the recipes they are assumed to have a weight of approx. 55 g (grade M).
