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.
