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 stir-
ring needed and leftover pasta tastes just like fresh
cooked when reheated in the microwave oven.
