COOKING FRESH VEGETABLES
Fresh vegetables retain nutrients when cooked in the microwave. Use this chart and the convenient ONE TOUCH COOK pad to prepare vegetables easily according to the chart. After cooking, let stand, covered, for 3 to 5 minutes. If more time is needed to finish cooking, add time slowly to prevent overcooking.
