Cooking Guide

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 (1000 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.
