Directions for Preparing Casseroies
Prepare casseroles and stews according to recipe
directions. Stew meats are not browned before cooking.
Omit any oil or fat and flour used for browning. Fresh and
firm vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, rutabagas and
beans are added at the beginning of cooking. Frozen
vegetables and fresh vegetables with soft texture such as
zucchini, tomatoes or mushrooms are added during the last
30 minutes of cooking. Defrosted frozen vegetables are
canned vegetables are added with the thickener. Place
covered microwave-safe dish in oven.
TO COOK BY SENSOR COOKING:
Combine ingredients. Cover dish. Select Sensor
Category “Casseroled" and press Start Pad.
TO COOK BY TIME:
Prepare casseroles or stew by microwaving at lower power
levels. MEDIUM and MEDIUM-LOW power levels allow
flavors to blend and less tender cuts erf meat to become tender.
