Operating Instructions
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.
