Vegetables and Vegetarian

-Root vegetables. i.e. Swede, carrots should be cut into slices, strips or cubes.

-Do not mix fresh and frozen vegetables as the cooking times may be different.

-Never add salt to vegetables before microwaving.

-Always cook vegetables in a dish that is a suitable size. Use flat dishes not basins. Always cover with microwave cling film or a lid.

• Certain vegetables i.e. broccoli and asparagus, should be arranged so that the tips are in the centre of the dish, as these require less cooking.
