Pasta and Rice

•Always use microwave-safe ceramic, glass or plastic utensils.

•For pasta use about half the amount of hot tap water required for conventional boiling, there is less evaporation in a microwave oven. Add recommended amount of salt, if desired and vegetable oil (optional, to prevent sticking).

•For rice use same or slightly more water as with conventional boiling. Add recommended amount of salt, if desired.
