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.

HOW TO USE THE RECIPES

• All the recipes in this 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 (medium).
