GREENS AND VEGETABLES
Greens and vegetables cooked in a microwave oven retain more of their colour and nutritional value
than when cooked in traditional ovens.
Per every 500 gr. of greens or vegetables add about 5 teaspoons of water
Greens and vegetables must always be covered with clear-sheet.
Sturdier Items (e.g., carrots) should be cut into regular-sized pieces..
Stir greens and vegetables at least once at the halfway point. Add a little salt only at the end.
N.B:
The cooking times on this table are approximate and depend on the weight, the temperature
before cooking, and the sturdiness as well as the constitution of the greens and vegetables.
