On the other hand, these foodstuffs heat up very quickly, without taking on a reheatedflavour, so long as they are in a closed vessel, with butter or sauce mixed in.For the cooking, use a big vessel (to avoid any overspill). Fully cover with water or stock. Leaveto stand for at least 5 to 8 minutes after cooking.RiceOnce the liquid reaches boiling point, cook for approx. 20 minutes at 250 W, regardless of thequantity of rice.SemolinaSemolina cooks perfectly in a microwave oven, with no risk of burning. Simply add a volume ofwater equal to that of the semolina, bring to the boil covered on 1000 W for 2 min 30 sec(for 200 g of medium-grain semolina with 0.2 l of water), then cook on 250 W for about 3 minwhile it swells.PastaRemember to salt the cooking water and stir once during cooking. When the liquid is bubbling,cook for 7 or 8 minutes on 1000 W for 250 g of pasta (for 1 litre of water) and 10 minutes for250 g of ravioli.Dried vegetablesFully cover with water and leave to soak for one night. The next day, rinse and drain. Cover withwater. Do not salt before cooking (this hardens the dried vegetables). Cook for 10 minutes on1000 W then 15 to 30 minutes on 250 W. Monitor the cooking and add water if necessary: thedried vegetables must always be covered with liquid.Jacket potatoesVarieties of potatoes vary in their suitability for cooking by microwave. The ideal size of potato tobe cooked by microwave or Combination is 175 g-225 g. Microwaving jacket potatoes is quickerthan Combination, but will produce a soft result. Combination cooking will produce a drier, crispertexture. If you wish to further enhance the browning at the end of cooking, use the GRILL (seechart below).Before Cooking wash potatoes and prick skins several times. Spread around edge of turntable.After Cooking remove from oven and wrap in tin foil to retain the heat. Leave to stand for 5 mins.
