Rice and Pasta
For best results, undercook rice and pasta dishes during primary cooking. Reheat covered at HIGH power.
Adding moisture, such as a sauce, can facilitate reheating though its not essential.
Rice and pasta dishes with cheese sauces, require more stirring than tomato-based sauces to avoid
over-heating and stringiness of cheese.
