FROZEN VEGETABLES BY AUTO COOK Å

•Minimum weight 120g / Maximum weight 750g

•Suitable for heating varieties of frozen vegetables, including peas, beans, corn kernels, broccoli, cauliflower etc.

•Place larger pieces or quantities in a single layer for best results.

•Add 1 tablespoon to 1⁄4 cup water, if you prefer a softer cooked texture.

•Very icy vegetables that have frozen in a solid mass may require slightly longer cooking times.

•Place vegetables in an appropriate size dish. Use the following as a guide:

Weight	Dish Size
120 g	500 ml
250 g	750 ml
500 g	1 litre
750 g	2 litre

•Cover with plastic wrap or a well fitting lid. Halfway through the cooking time, the oven will ‘beep’ and prompt you to stir and rearrange the vegetables.

•If desired, butter, herbs etc. may be added, but do not add salt until serving. (Salt dehydrates vegetables during cooking.)

•At the end of the cooking time, stir vegetables and let stand, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes.
