Any housewife can find herself in this situation: there is little time, but carrots need to be cooked.
It is known that heat treatment of a whole root vegetable usually takes at least 20 minutes. The process can last up to 40 minutes.
Of course, you can chop the vegetable finely. This will speed up the cooking process considerably, perhaps 2-3 times.
But what if you want to get whole boiled carrots?
And what should you do if the housewife doesn’t even have ten minutes to prepare the vegetable?
It turns out there is a culinary trick that allows you to cook the root vegetable until done... in 5 minutes.
The recommendation was shared by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova .
How to quickly cook carrots
The trick is to use a microwave oven instead of a stove.
But first, the root vegetables must be properly prepared for cooking.
Vegetables should be placed in a baking sleeve. They should lie in one layer.
Carrots should be covered with plain water. For 3 root vegetables you need about 100 milliliters of liquid.
Next, the bag should be tied with a thread. You can use a plastic clamp.
The sleeve with all the contents should be put in the microwave for 5 minutes. The result will be a tasty and soft carrot.
Earlier, gourmets were told how to make delicious carrot cutlets.
