Poached Vegetables
This is a universal recipe for cooking vegetables and potatoes.
This recipe uses exactly 1.5 litres of water. This makes it possible to create a program that brings the water quickly to a boil – but where it doesn’t boil over, as the exact amount of water is known.
Just start the program in the recipe and everything will run automatically. First the water is heated at full power (P), once it boils the temperature is automatically reduced to 95°C, allowing the vegetables to complete cooking without the risk of overcooking. It is important to use exactly 1.5 litres of water for the program to work optimally.

Notes
If you want extra flavour for your vegetables, try adding 1 tablespoon of sugar to the water.
You can also add half a lemon. Squeeze the juice into the water and then add the rest of the lemon – peel and all. The lemon adds acidity and a great flavour.
Herbs are also a nice addition to the cooking water, use whatever you have on hand or prefer.
