Vegetables and the microwave: does the life hack for baking beets and potatoes in the microwave work
On the Internet you can often find advice that is designed to make life easier for any housewife.
But here’s the problem – these recommendations don’t always work in real life.
For example, preparing vegetables for salads and other dishes in a microwave oven in three minutes causes genuine bewilderment.
Is it really possible to put a whole beet in the microwave and then, a few minutes later, take out a ready-made ingredient for vinaigrette?
It turns out yes. The only condition is that a large root vegetable should be cut into smaller slices, but with carrots or potatoes such manipulations will be unnecessary.
Feel free to place the vegetables on a plate and then microwave them, but be sure to cover them with a triple layer of damp paper towels.
You can do this by placing paper towels on top and spraying them with water from a spray bottle.
The vegetables will need between 2 and 9 minutes to reach the desired consistency.
