Cooking guide for rice and pasta
Rice:
Use a large glass Pyrex bowl with lid. (Note that rice doubles in volume
during cooking.) Cook covered. After cooking time is over, stir before
letting stand. Add salt or herbs and butter. Note that rice may not have
absorbed all water after the cooking time is finished.
Pasta:
Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of salt and stir
well. Cook uncovered. Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover
during standing time and drain thoroughly afterwards.

Reheating
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time a conventional
oven takes.
Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joints of meat since they tend to overcook
and dry out before the centre is piping hot. You will have more success reheating
smaller pieces. Keeping food covered while heating will also help prevent drying.
Power levels
Different power levels can be used for reheating foods.
In general, for large quantities of delicate food or foods that heat up quickly, such
as mince pies, it is better to use a lower power level.
Stirring
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir
again before serving. Stirring is especially important when heating liquids.
Heating and standing times
When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time
taken for future reference. Avoid overheating. If uncertain, it is preferable to
underestimate cooking time. Then extra heating time can be added, if necessary.
Always make sure that reheated food is piping hot throughout. Allow food to stand
for a short time after reheating to let the temperature even out. The recommended
standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes.
Reheating liquids
Take special care when heating liquids. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible
scalding, place a spoon or glass stick in the beverage. Stir during heating and
always stir after heating. Allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the
oven has been switched off to allow the temperature to even out.
