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.

Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The smaller they are cut, the
quicker they will cook.
