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.
Cooking Pasta and Rice: Tips and Techniques
¥ If you are planning to use rice or pasta in a
casserole, undercook it so it is still firm.
