TIPS FOR FOOD PREPARATION
When preparing food in the microwave oven, the following basic rules apply:
Preparation time
Smaller quantities of food cook more rapidly than large quantities. If the amount of food is doubled, the preparation time must be correspondingly almost doubled.
Small pieces of meat, small fish and chopped vegetables cook more quickly than large pieces. For the same reason, it is recommended, if, for example, you wish to make goulash, stews or similar, that the meat be cut into pieces no bigger than 2 x 2 cm.
The compactness of the food is also very important for the cooking time. The more compact the food is, the longer it takes to cook it.
•Whole joints require a longer cooking time than stewed dishes.
•A joint requires a longer time than a dish with minced meat.
The colder the food, the longer the cooking time needs to be. Food at room temperature will therefore cook faster than food from a fridge or freezer.
When cooking vegetables, the cooking time depends on the freshness of the vegetables. Therefore check the condition of the vegetables, and add or deduct a little time accordingly.
The short cooking time when using a microwave oven means that the food does not overcook.
•If required, a little water can be added.
•When cooking fish and vegetables, you only need to use the minimum of water.
