Converting Recipes to Use Healthy Fx International Corp. Pouches

There is no hard and fast rule for converting recipes using conventional cooking methods to Healthy Fx International Corp. pouches. A little bit of experimentation with each recipe that you are attempting is required though. You can cook the same recipes you already enjoy, faster if you loosely follow some simple rules

All microwave cooking times should be cut in half if you are converting an original microwave recipe to be cooked in the self-venting pouches. Remember, it is better to undercook and pop it back into the microwave than to overcook and ruin the meal.

If you are converting a conventional stove top or oven cooking recipe to cooking with our self venting pouches cut the total cooking time by at least 75% to start and then add on a bit at a time until you have achieved the desired results.

Reduce the amount of liquid in the conventional recipe, as there is little or no evaporation in the microwave cooking self-venting pouches.

It is best to add salt at the conclusion of cooking. The pouch technology enhances the flavoring effect of salt and spices in the food, so food will end up tasting twice as spiced or flavored as intended… Using salt when cooking in the microwave causes localized ionic heating that reduces the microwave penetration depth and this can dehydrate and toughen some foods. It is recommended to add salt and seasonings after coking, but taste the cooked food first as cooking with the self venting pouches intensifies the natural flavors and seasoning my not be desired or required.

Cut the amount of seasonings, spices etc. significantly when converting a recipe as the self venting cooking pouches will emphasize the effects of the seasonings and the results may be not desirable

Remember you can always add spices, herbs and seasonings at the end of the cooking cycle. Adding spices, herbs etc. to a sauce or gravy that is included with the food being cooked is fine.

Note that foods containing liquid, sugar or fat cook faster. The microwaves in the microwave oven stimulate these particles and therefore those portions cook faster than other parts of the food product.

Recipes are originally the products of somebody's imagination. If you find yourself short of one ingredient or another, let your imagination go wild. See what you have instead of what you are suppose to have, don't worry, don't complicate things, experiment and have fun.

Experiment and Savor the Flavor.
