Pasta and Rice
Microwave cooking and conventional cooking
of pasta, rice and cereal require about the
same amount of time; but, microwave
c
ooking is a more convenient method
because you can cook and serve in the same
dish. There is no stirring needed and leftover
pasta tastes just like fresh cooked when
reheated in the microwave oven.

Techniques
If you are planning to use rice or pasta
in a casserole, undercook it so it is still firm.
Allow for standing time with rice, but not
for pasta.
