ADDED WATER
Very water-rich vegetables such as tomatoes, courgettes,
aubergines, frozen vegetables for ratatouille, mushrooms, spinach,
endives, lettuce, onions, most fruits, etc., to which little or no water
should be added, since microwave cooking uses the water contained
in the foods naturally.
Fairly water-rich vegetables, to which 4 to 5 tablespoons of water
should be added for 500g, to create the steam which cooks the
vegetables and prevents dehydration: cauliflower, leeks, broccoli,
Brussels sprouts, fennel, carrots, celeriac, asparagus, dwarf beans,
potatoes, cabbages, turnips, artichokes, etc.

Vegetables containing relatively little water, to which 8 to 10
tablespoons of water should be added per 500 g to encourage
hydration: peas, broad beans, runner beans, French beans.
In all cases: vegetables must be cooked on 1000 W power (except
for whole cauliflowers) and must not be salted before cooking, but
after. This is because the salt absorbs the natural moisture of the
vegetable and encourages dehydration.
