** I used Swanson no-salt variety
*** My ladle measures 1/4 c. of liquid. I have a mark in the bowl of the ladle at the exact point.
Two more things,
1) the mocrowave is always set on highest possible setting.
2) I use a 1.5 l. Corningware dish with a glass cover.
I also got LOTS of compliments. The truffle oil MAKES this dish.
