Standing Time; Covering During Cooking; Rice And Pasta - Samsung Microwave Oven Cookbook

Covering during cooking

To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises as steam and
accelerates the cooking process and moistens the food. Food can be covered with a ceramic plate,
plastic cover or microwave-proof plastic wrap.

Standing time

Once cooking is over, the standing time allows the temperature to even out in the food.

uncovered. Stir occasionally, during and after cooking. Cover during standing time and drain
thoroughly afterwards.
