COOKING GUIDE FOR FRESH VEGETABLES

Use a suitable glass Pyrex bowl with lid. Add 30 - 45 ml cold water (2 - 3 tbsp) for every 250 g unless another water quantity is recommended (see table). Cook covered for the minimum time (see table). Continue cooking to get the result you prefer. Stir once during and after cook- ing.

Add salt, herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during the 3 minute standing time.

Hint : Cut fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The smaller they are cut the quicker they are cooked.

Note : All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power (800 W).
