Frozens Team
With Microwaves
We Americans are continuously
looking for ways to save, whether
it be time, money or energy resour
ces, and frozen foods are helping
us achieve this goal. Whether it be
vegetables, entrees, side dishes,
desserts or snacks, frozens, pre
pared in the microwave, are
heightening the savings.
Besides the obvious advantages
of speedy defrosting and cooking,
the combination of frozen foods
and the microwave oven are help
ing more and more consumers
realize the considerable energy
savings, ease in clean-up, and the
unbeatable quality of frozen foods.
Energy is consumed only during
the cooking lime, which is short,
and only by the food being cooked.
Unlike a conventional oven, no
energy is wasted heating the bak
ing dish or the oven interior. This

means the kitchen will not heat up
either.
Because little or no water is
needed in microwave cookery,
water-soluble vitamins are
retained. Frozen fruits and veget
ables keep their bright colors and
fresh flavors when cooked in a
microwave.
After dinner clean-up also
becomes less of a chore with a
microwave oven. Food spatters do
not bake on, so both cooking uten
sils and the oven can be wiped
clean easily. In addition, many fro
zen foods can be cooked right in
their containers. Plastic food
pouches need only to be slit or
punctured to let the steam escape.
Other frozen foods are packed in
oven-ready containers which can
also be used in conventional
ovens.
Many frozen food packages
include microwave cooking

instructions usually written for
high power ovens (600 to 700
watts). These directions should be
followed carefully. The frozen
food industry has also designed a
special logo to make microwave

WAVEABLE, in large bold letters
the next time you shop for frozen
food.
Don’t Become
Dehydrated
Many people enjoy outdoor
activities in the winter: skiing, sled
riding, snow mobiling, even taking
walks after a freshly fallen snow.
But many people do not realize
that you can easily become dehy
drated when you are out in the
cold.
Sixty percent of your body
weight is water. Water’s main
function is to carry nutrients from
the food you digest into your body,
but it also serves as a lubricant,
helps control body temperature,
and carries waste out of the body.
Most people know that you lose
body water through sweating and
urinating, but you also lose it
through your lungs, which is why
you can become dehydrated on
winter days. You lose eight to 10
cups of water every day, and you
have to replace it.
You can get water from a variety
of foods and liquids, but some are
better sources than others. For

So if you are planning on spend
ing time outside this winter, be
sure to replenish your body’s water
loss by drinking plenty of liquids.
If you drink coffee or tea in the
morning, concentrate on drinking
water for the rest of the day. If you
have never tried sparkling water,
give it a try. The carbonation
makes you feel like you are having
something special rather than just a
glass of water.
