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.
