Cooking guide for rice and pasta
Rice:
Use a large glass pyrex bowl with lid - rice doubles in volume during
cooking. Cook covered. After the cooking time is over, stir before standing
time and salt or add herbs and butter. Remark: the rice may not have
absorbed all water after the cooking time is finished.
Pasta:
Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of salt and stir
well. Cook uncovered. Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover
during standing time and drain thoroughly afterwards.

Reheating
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional
ovens hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The
times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20 °C
or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7 °C.
Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry
out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful.
Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated
using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
Check the tables for guidance.
In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower power level, if the food is
delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very quickly (mince pies, for
example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir
again before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive
boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir before, during and after heating.
Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting
a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore
spoiling) the food. It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra
heating time, if necessary.
Heating and standing times
When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time
taken - for future reference.
Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.
Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even out.
The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another
time is recommended in the chart.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with
the safety precautions.
