[net.veg] Microwave recipe request

maples@osiris.Uiuc.ARPA (09/03/85)

I've recently acquired a microwave and was wondering if there are any
microwave cookbooks that contain vegetarian recipes.  My microwave
cookbook is meat oriented (and not very useful).  Also, can brown rice,
beans, etc. be cooked in a microwave?

You can cook rice (brown or otherwise) in a microwave, but there's
really no advantage to it.  The rice needs the same amount of time 
to absorb the water, so it won't cook any faster.
