3.3 - COOKING HORS D'OEUVRES AND FIRST COURSES
Soups in general can be made with less water because very little water is lost through evaporation in microwa-
ve ovens. Add salt at the end of cooking or during standing time because salt has a dehydrating effect.
Note that the time required to cook rice (or pasta) in a microwave oven is more or less the same as required
to cook it traditionally on the stove. The advantage of preparing a risotto in a microwave lies in the fact that
it does not require continual stirring (two to three times is enough).

Place all the ingredients in a dish for microwave

cover with clear film and cook at maximum
microwave power for 12 - 15 minutes.
3.4 - COOKING MEAT
Cooking time depends directly on the size and homogeneity of the food. Kebabs cook quicker than a joint because
the pieces are smaller and of the same size. To keep roasts, chicken and kebabs tender, add 1/2 cup of water when
you start cooking.
