COOKING

Pasta And Rice

Microwave cooking and conventional cooking of pasta,
rice, and cereal require about the same amount of time,
but the microwave is a more convenient method
because you can cook and serve in the same dish.

• 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.

There is no stirring needed and leftover pasta tastes
just like fresh cooked when reheated in the microwave
oven.

• The Pasta and Rice Cooking Tables below provide

specific directions, with Power Level and Cooking
Time settings for most common types of pasta and
rice.
