Vegetables and Vegetarian
• Root vegetables. i.e. carrots, swede,
should be cut into slices, strips or cubes.
• Do not mix fresh and frozen vegetables
as the cooking times may be different.
• Cabbage should be shredded and cooked
by power and time.
• Fresh vegetables require 90 ml (6 tbsp) of
water. For each extra 450 g (1 lb) add an
extra 90 ml (6 tbsp) of water and stir
halfway.
• 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.
• If cooking potatoes with other vegetables,
only cook with other ROOT vegetables.
• Never add salt to vegetables before
microwaving. Remember the flavour of
microwaved vegetables is much better than
boiled.
• Whole cauliflower should be cooked upside
down on MEDIUM Micro for 10 mins.,
approx. with 90 ml (6 tbsp) water. Make a
cross with a knife in the stalk. Turn halfway
during cooking.
