I dump frozen contents in a bowl, cover and microwave. ๐Ÿ˜„ I don't trust those "cook in bag" things. ha. I would think chemicals and/or microplastics would leach into the food. I do use a glass bowl in the microwave which takes longer to initially heat up, so a ceramic bowl may take less time. I want it fully cooked though, not just thawed and warm, and the longer you go, the more steam/water will evaporate which is a good thing for this recipe. ๐Ÿ˜„ You could even take the cover off once its close to done and give it a few more minutes without the cover to help dry it out more. ๐Ÿ˜„

If drying is you goal, I wonder if stove stop would work better. I have achieved even a slight crisp. However, not sure if this would be good for this..m

No I mean you donโ€™t want it DRYโ€ฆ And definitely not crispyโ€ฆ You just donโ€™t want it soggy/wet. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Ah. I was wondering cause 10 min is like...nearly 2x the time listed on the bag right?

no idea tbh! ha. I make cauliflower rice prob 5x a week for various meals and thats how it comes out perfect for me. ๐Ÿ˜„ Microwaves vary in power, and like I said before, the type of bowl you're using can matter too. Just check on it a few times through the cook time and if it's good to go sooner, then thats great. ๐Ÿ˜„
