PASTA & GRAINS
Guide for Cooking Pasta and Grains
Raw long grain rice takes time to rehydrate. Microwaving time is a little shorter than conventional, but the
greatest advantage is the ease with which you can prepare fluffy rice without sticking or burning. Cooked rice
and pasta reheat easily in the microwave oven without loss of flavor or texture. No extra water is needed to
prevent sticking or drying, so there's no danger of overcooking rice and pasta or thinning sauces.

CONVENIENCE FOODS

Frozen Foods
A large variety of frozen foods, special dishes and dinners are available and the selections continue to
increase. The market is changing rapidly, therefore it is impossible to list the foods and types available and
recommend cooking procedures. In this book we can only give general directions to assist you.
T.V. Dinners
To prepare a T.V. dinner, follow the maker's instructions for use with microwave ovens. To cook a T.V. dinner
will require approximately five to seven minutes for the food to thaw and heat to serving temperature
(depending on the types of food). Allow plastic wrap to remain over the dish for two minutes to allow heat to
equalize. Dinners that contain mashed potatoes have presented a bit of a problem due to the large compact
mass of this particular food. You may want to remove about half the mashed potatoes after defrosting is
started, then spread the remaining potatoes over the individual section of the tray. Heat the removed mashed
potatoes in an individual dish. For foods that should be crisp when cooking is completed, remove the plastic
wrap and use the broiler of a conventional oven to crisp the food.
