cooking time is finished.

Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of

Cooking Guide for fresh vegetables
Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Add 30-45 ml cold water
(2-3 tbsp.) for every 250 g unless another water quantity is recommended
- see table. Cook covered for the minimum time - see table. Continue
cooking to get the result you prefer. Stir once during and once after
cooking. Add salt, herbs or butter after cooking. Cover during a standing
time of 3 minutes.
Hint: Cut the fresh vegetables into even sized pieces. The
smaller they are cut, the quicker they will cook.
