ENGLISH

If you would like to adapt your favourite recipes for
the microwave, you should take note of the
following:
Shorten cooking times by a third to a half.  Follow
the example of the recipes in this cookery book.
Foods which have a high moisture content such as
meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews and
soups can be prepared in your microwave without
any difficulty.  Foods which have little moisture,
such as platters of food, should have the surface
moistened prior to heating or cooking.
The amount of liquid to be added to raw foods,
which are to be braised, should be reduced to
about two thirds of the quantity in the original
recipe.  If necessary, add more liquid during
cooking.

The amount of fat to be added can be reduced
considerably.  A small amount of butter, margarine
or oil is sufficient to flavour food. For this reason
your microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat
foods as part of a diet.

●

All the recipes in this cooker y book are
calculated on the basis of 4 servings - unless
otherwise stated.

●

Recommendations relating to suitable utensils
and the total cooking times are given at the
beginning of every recipe.

●

As a rule the quantities shown are assumed to
be wholly consumable, unless specifically
indicated otherwise.

●

When eggs are given in the recipes they are
assumed to have weight of approx. 55 g
(grade M).
