Preparing carrots
The first step is to prepare the carrots. You need to choose fresh and high-quality vegetables, wash them thoroughly and peel them. The carrots are cut into cubes or circles.
Using a microwave oven
The main tool of this method is a microwave. The chopped carrots are placed in a glass container with a small amount of water. This helps to retain moisture and speed up the cooking process.
Preparation
Next, you need to put the container with carrots in the microwave and turn it on at maximum power for about 5 minutes. Of course, the cooking time directly depends on the power of the microwave oven, so you will have to control the process yourself.
Checking readiness
After cooking is complete, the carrots are checked for readiness. They should be soft, but not overcooked.
This ensures that the carrots retain their texture and taste. Once cooled, they can be safely added to the salad.
