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 (750 W).
