Need a little help,
we usually buy package food in the grocery, can someone please share some finnish words to understand some instructions in the package?
1) How do we know if the food is microwavable?
2) How about bake? or roast or fried? What are the basic or key words we need to check?
What is "Paista vähäisessä rasvassa paistinpannullla n 2.min. molemmin puolin"
Also if ever there are any online tips you can help me with especially with Finnish translation, then this is very helpful.
thanks.
FINNISH Words in FOOD
If the food is microwaveable, it usually has the international microwave logo + something like 700W 2-3 min to indicate how long you should cook it.
The word for oven is uuni and in a sentence it would be something like "Paista uunissa 20 minuuttia".
The word for boiling is keittää, eg Keitä 15 minuuttia kiehuvassa vedessä (in boiling water).
Paista vähäisessa rasvassa paistinpannulla n. 2 min molemmin puolin = Fy in small amount of fat (usually vegetable oil/butter) for 2 minutes both sides.

Good website for food and cooking vocabulary:

unfortunately it only goes one way (ie English to Finnish) but it's useful anyway.
