Plain Celery [microwave]
From: Jean-Claude B., Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Comments: Oven: 700 watts
  • Celery
  • 1 teaspoon [5 mL] water per 2 to 4 cups [500 mL to 1 L] celery sticks or dices
  • 1/2 teaspoon [2.5 g] sugar
  • Remove needed stalks from celery; peel and either slice each stalk into 1 to 2-inch [2.5 to 5-cm] pieces or cut stalks into sticks or dices.
  • Do not forget that for cooking, larger outside stalks are the best, just as center ones are best eaten raw.
  • Arrange celery pieces or stalks into a microwave-safe dish; sprinkle celery with water.
  • Sprinkle all over with sugar.
  • Cover and microwave on 'HIGH' for 4 to 8 minutes.
  • Drain celery, that is now ready to be prepared as directed in recipes.
