A42399,SCA/SCNZ R350J C/B GENERAL INFORMATION GLOSSARY OF TERMS DEFROSTING SPOON MEASURES 1 tablespoon = 20 mL 1 teaspoon = 5 mL 1 /2 teaspoon = 2.5 mL 1 /4 teaspoon = 1.25 mL Thawing food, especially meats, using the microwave oven is not only faster than any other method but it can also give better results. Once frozen meat is thawed, it begins to lose its juices.
A42399,SCA/SCNZ R350J C/B PULSES To soak: Place one cup of any variety of beans in a large dish, add 2 cups cold water and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Place in microwave and cook for 5 minutes on HIGH. Then simmer for 30 minutes on MEDIUM LOW. They will then be ready to use. To cook: Rinse pulses. One cup of pulses to 4 cups of boiling water is required for a maximum of 45 minutes on HIGH. DRIED MUSHROOMS Place in a bowl with 2 cups of water and heat, slowly, 810 minutes on LOW.
A42399,SCA/SCNZ R350J C/B HINTS • Always place the stems of vegetables – e.g. cauliflower, broccoli – toward the outside of the dish. The stems are tougher than the flower, so this will ensure even cooking. • Ice-cream containers were made for freezing food and are not suitable for use in a microwave oven. • Remember: When melting chocolate in the microwave oven, it holds its shape until stirred. Heat for 2-21/2 minutes per 100 g on MEDIUM. DO NOT COVER.
