PASTA AND RICE

Microwave cooking and conventional cooking of pasta,
rice, and cereal require about the same amount of
time,but the microwave is a more convenient method
because you can cook and serve in the same dish.
There is no stirring needed and leftover pasta tastes
just like fresh cooked when reheated in the microwave
oven.
