Pastas
• Under dry conditions, rice can be stored for up to 1 year at
room temperature.
• Always rinse rice, beans, and grains to remove dust from shipping.
• If you forget to pre-soak 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 pastas”.
• 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.
