Cooking vegetables
■ Use fresh vegetables if possible. If the
vegetables have become limp because
they have been kept for too long, you can
refresh them by placing them in cold water
for a little while.
■ Use a large dish to cook vegetables, so
that the bottom of the dish is not covered
by too thick a layer.
■ Cook vegetables with the water that
adheres to them, unless otherwise stated
in the table.
■ Always cover the dish with a lid or
microwave cling film.
■ Do not add salt. The salts naturally present
in the vegetables usually provide enough
flavour. If you must add salt, do so after
cooking.
■ Cook vegetables for as short a time as
possible. Allow for them continuing to
cook after the microwave has been
switched off.
■ Check whether the vegetables are done or
not with a fork or skewer.
