TIPS FOR FOOD PREPARATION
When preparing food in the microwave oven, the following basic rules
apply:
Cooking time
Smaller quantities of food cook more rapidly than large quantities. If the
amount of food is doubled, the preparation time must be more than
doubled correspondingly.
Small pieces of meat, small fish and chopped vegetables cook more
quickly than large pieces. For the same reason, it is recommended, if, for
example, you wish to make goulash, stews or similar, that the meat be cut
into pieces no bigger than 2 x 2 cm.
The compactness of the food is also very important for the cooking time.
The more compact the food is, the longer it takes to cook it.
• Whole joints require a longer cooking time than stewed dishes.
•A joint requires a longer time than a dish with minced meat.
The colder the food, the longer the cooking time needs to be. Food at
room temperature will therefore cook faster than food from a fridge or
freezer.
When cooking vegetables, the cooking time depends on the freshness of
the vegetables. Therefore check the condition of the vegetables, and add
or deduct a little time accordingly.
The short cooking time when using a microwave oven means that the food
does not overcook.
•If required, a little water can be added.
• When cooking fish and vegetables, you only need to use the minimum
of water.
