3.3 - COOKING ANTIPASTI AND FIRST COURSES
Soups in general require less liquid because in a microwave oven evaporation is rather minimal. Salt must be
added only at the end of cooking or during standing time as it dehydrates the food.
It is fair to say that the time needed to cook rice in the microwave oven is more or less equal to the time taken to cook
it on a stove in the traditional manner. The advantage of preparing a risotto in a microwave oven is that it does not
need stirring continually (this only needs to be done 2 or 3 times).

Suitable times for raw pasta. If the pasta is pre-
cooked, 8 minutes of Combined MICROGRILL
cooking is enough.
Avoid piling them up too heavily
The pasta should have previously been boiled separately.
The ingredients should all be placed together in
a container suitable for microwaves and covered
with transparent film (750 g of clear soup is
needed for 300 g of rice with the microwaves on
full power for approx. 10-12 minutes).
Spread the pizza on oven paper resting on the
base of a cake tin.Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Use a cake tin with a handle (the oven should be
pre-heated).
Place on the bottom of a metal baking tin (the
oven should be pre-heated).

3.4 - COOKING MEAT
Cooking is closely linked to the size and uniformity of the food which is to be cooked: kebabs cook before a roast
because they consist of smaller, more evenly-sized pieces of meat. To keep roasts, chicken and kebabs moist, it is
advisable to add 1 or 2 cups of water at the start of cooking.
