Tips for Pasta, Grains & Rice
• Under dry conditions, rice can be
stored for up to 1 year at room
temperature.
• Rinsing rice gives it a lighter
consistency
• If you forget to presoak beans,
place them in 3 cups water for
every 1 cup of beans, then bring to
a boil on Max/Sear for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat, cover and soak
beans for 1 hour.
• Fresh pasta cooks more quickly
than dry pasta.
• Some pasta, such as lasagna,
manicotti and cannelloni, can be
used without being precooked.
These are called no-bake pasta.
• Not sure which type of pasta will
complement the dish? As a rule of
thumb, small pastas, such as orzo,
are ideal for clear or hearty soups.
Curved, twisted or tube-shaped
pastas, such as penne, are perfect
for tomato sauces. Ridged pastas,
such as rigatoni, are best used
with meat sauces. Smooth pastas,
such as fettuccine, complement
cream sauces.
