Adapting recipes for the microwave oven
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 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.
