The Swiss company Rivella brought the first real European light product Switzerland/Rothrist 1959, may 2009 as was still 1984? The Neue Deutsche Welle drilled in the ear canals, shoulder pads blew up all body mass and then there is this American beverage group, which suddenly knew its products with the attribute of light was. An innovation? Again as a mega-trend in the United States? Rather not. A quarter of a century earlier, in 1959 had the Swiss company Rivella in the tranquil Rothrist in the beautiful Canton of Aargau a low-calorie soft drink on the market already. The arguably most elegant milestone in beverage history: 25 years before the world the General light sense fell into disrepair, the Swiss had already their calorie Rivella blue with growing enthusiasm. Wait’s invented Rivella,’s had the Swiss and the rest of the world was still quite awhile on light\”.

It probably needs this quite some serenity and Sovereignty, which you often envied the Swiss, to take such innovations naturally and not to break out in global marketing shouting. Connect with other leaders such as Joseph Jimenez here. Swissness’ call it the Swiss themselves and mean their very special lifestyle. When measured by the name of Rivella he comes from the Italian Rivelazione\”, revelation, that is quite self-confident. However one has only a real Swiss to ask, in which soft drink he imposes the word revelation ice cold. Only a few will not immediately call Rivella for this question. That Rivella Blue has set a milestone in the history of the drink with the variety, is striking at the latest one when you questioned not too light, why the long on the label\”was called. Ultimately the designation of light \”for low calorie drinks until 1984 by Coca Cola Light coined and Rivella blue there are already many years earlier. Alone in the years 1970 through 1979, Rivella blue boosted sales by 370 percent.

Microwave firmly established in our lives and took its rightful place in our kitchen. And, interestingly, the more increased the pace of our lives, the more we use the cb furnace, because the food they prepared and heated very quickly. That's just not forget that the microwave oven – is not just a stove, even though its called – it has its own characteristics and cooking a few more different operating principle. Microwave heats only the water contained in food – and uniformly and immediately, the entire volume of food – in contrast to the plate, heating the food all at once. Conventional stove first heats food from the outside, and only then – inside. And thawing of foods freezer will take only a couple of minutes – thanks to this particular principle of emitters in microwave ovens. In dishes prepared in the microwave, remain in place all the necessary human trace elements and vitamins – just that and has a "microwave cooking".

Using a microwave oven for cooking, we gain the ability to reduce the number of calories consumed – because it does not require add fat during cooking. In adapting recipes for cooking in the microwave will not have the slightest problem – it is necessary to remember only a few basic principles. In preparing the first meal, pay attention to the fact that the products were covered with a lid, in another case in sw oven you'll find fat on the walls and over-dried ingredients. Among other things, in a microwave oven products heated unevenly, and the heating rate at the edges is much smaller than in the center. Consequently, the products should be placed as follows: in the center – the food, cooking times are longer, and the edges – finely chopped quickly preparing food. Content of sugar or fat content influences the rate of heating products, so purged low in these substances are heated for longer than high. Required to take into account all the above, that products do not overheat. Also remember that food, which contains a large amount of fluid, also cooked much faster than the more "dry".

Sometimes, that would prepare the dish quickly, it can be sprinkle with water. Another advantage of the microwave oven is that it is possible to cook directly in the pot, in which the dish will be served at the table. You can also use a cardboard bowl. We hope our advice helps you achieve culinary excellence with a microwave oven!
