Today I am grateful for all the cheap pasta and rice in the world because they taste very good and cost very little.
Today I have learnt that you can reduce the power level of your microwave to maintain a gentle heat level that would cook pasta or rice evenly without heating one part of the food and leaving the other cold.
If you reduce the power level of an 800 watt microwave to 30% and cook the food 3 times longer then you get a nice even cooking time. I put pasta and water in the microwave for 15 minutes at 30% power level and the heat has time to spread evenly through the food. Before I would put the microwave on full power for 5 minutes. The heating would be uneven when I did that so one part of the food would be very hot and the other warm.
I am also thankful in advance for all the wealth that I will have in the near future.
