Hotpoint MWH211 manual Cooking times for greens and vegetables, Greens and Vegetables

GREENS AND VEGETABLES

Greens and vegetables cooked in a microwave oven retain more of their colour and nutritional value than when cooked in traditional ovens.

Per every 500 gr. of greens or vegetables add about 5 teaspoons of water Greens and vegetables must always be covered with clear-sheet. Sturdier Items (e.g., carrots) should be cut into regular-sized pieces..

Stir greens and vegetables at least once at the halfway point. Add a little salt only at the end.
