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.
There is no stirring needed and left-
over pasta tastes just like fresh
cooked when reheated
microwave oven.
