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.
