3.5 - COOKING SIDE DISHES AND VEGETABLES
Compared to traditional cooking methods, vegetables retain more of their natural colour and nutritional goodness
when cooked in a microwave oven. Before cooking, wash and clean the vegetables.
Cut larger vegetables into evenly sized pieces. Add 5 dessertspoons of water for every 500 g of vegetables (fibrous
vegetables need more water). Vegetables cooked using the MICROWAVE ONLY function must always be covered
with clear film. Mix at least once halfway through cooking and add a little salt at the end only.
Important:
The cooking times in the table are purely indicative and depend on weight, the temperature of the
food before cooking and the size and texture of the vegetables.
