Heating and Defrosting Time Charts vegetables Most vegetables, small and bulk portions, defrost, heat, and cook very successfully in the microwave, retaining fresh color and texture as well an nutritional value. The thicker and more fibrous the vegetable, the longer the cooking time. (ie. Root vegetables) Frozen vegetables can be defrosted and heated in one step. One to two tablespoons of water should be added to frozen vegetables. Icy sections should be broken up during heating for even temperature distribution. Canned vegetables can be heated using HIGH in approximately 1 minute per pound. Most fresh vegetables are prepared with a small amount of cooking liquid such as water.
