• Continued cooking
▷
In general, allow dishes to stand covered for 3 to 10 minutes
after removing them from the microwave. The dishes
continue to cook. Do not cover dishes with a dry crust, such
as cake.
• Freezing
▷
When freezing food you should take defrosting in the
microwave into account, by not using aluminium foil or trays
and by freezing in flat portions.
Cooking vegetables
• If possible, always use fresh vegetables. If vegetables have
become a little limp because they have been left for too long,
you can place them in cold water for a while so that they
absorb moisture.
• Use a large dish to cook vegetables, so that the layer covering
the dish base is not too thick.
• Do not add any more water to vegetables than that remaining
after rinsing.
• Always cover the dish with a lid or microwave film.
• Do not add salt. The salts present naturally in the vegetables
should give sufficient flavour. If you still wish to add salt, you
can do this after cooking.
• Cook vegetables for the shortest time possible. Take into
account the fact that the vegetables will continue to cook.
• Check with a satay stick or fork whether the vegetables
are ready.
Cooking fish
• Fish needs to cook evenly. For thin fish, oily fish or small
portions set the power to 30%. In other cases you can set the
power somewhat higher. Take continued cooking into account.
Fish is ready when it becomes opaque.
