Side dishes and light suppers

You can also cook rice and potatoes in your microwave oven. New potatoes can be
cooked without water but they must be pricked with a fork before cooking. With older
potatoes, a little water must be added. Small quantities are cooked on full power
only. For larger quantities, begin cooking on full power, then reduce the power level
for the remaining cooking time. For boiled potatoes, add 1 tbsp water for every 100
g of potatoes.
The potatoes should all be the same size to ensure they are evenly cooked.
Rice and pasta must not only cook, but also absorb water during cooking. For this
reason, cook on full power to begin with, then simmer on a reduced power level. For
these foods, cooking in the microwave is not much quicker than conventional cook-
ing. However, rice cooked in the microwave is very light. Leave to stand, covered,
for 5-10 minutes after cooking.
