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 cooking.

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 (900 W).
