How to Cook Frozen Vegetables in the Microwave

Ingredients:
shortening, vegetable, household, composite
water, bottled, generic

Directions:
Put vegetables into a covered, glass casserole or other suitable microwave cooking dish with a lid.
Add water if you are making a solid, dense vegetable like Brussels sprouts or if you like your veggies soft-textured.
Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes.
Stir.
Repeat twice.
The vegetables should now be hot through but still bright-colored and firm.
Continue the repeats if softer veggies are desired.
Note -- microwaves vary tremendously.
Ultra-high power versions will take less time.
Older, lower-power versions will require more.
Adjust so that you have 3 cook-stir cycles for the most even results.
Serve plain or add whatever seasonings or sauces you desire.
