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 (850 W).

Cooking Guide for rice and pasta

Rice

:

Use a large glass pyrex bowl with lid - rice doubles in volume during 
cooking. Cook covered.
After the cooking time is over, stir before standing time and salt or 
add herbs and butter. 
Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the cooking 
time is finished.

Pasta

:

Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of salt and 
stir well. Cook uncovered.
Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover during standing 
time and drain thoroughly afterwards.
