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 once after cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after
cooking. Cover during a standing time of 3 minutes.
Hint :
Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The
smaller they are cut, the quicker they will cook.
All fresh vegetables should be cooked using full microwave power
(800 W).

Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water
after the cooking time is finished.
