Got this for my camper to use and it worked great the one time I tried it at home. Bonus is not using the propane to cook pasta at the camper and won't heat up the camper in the summer like boiling on the stove would

Due to a recent gas leak in our building we unfortunately do not have a stove and will not likely have access to one for quite a few months. So we decidye to give this a try as an option for making pasta, rice and soups. On the outside of the box it says It comes with a "cooking guide" for making pasta, soups, casseroles, rice, and more. No such cooking guide is included. There is what I would describe as an instruction sheet for how to cook different types of pasta including the amount of water to include and the number of minutes to put it in your microwave. However, there are no instructions on how to cook any other of these dishes as represented on the box. That was rather disappointing.

Pasta cooks like a dream. I bought one for each of my married grandsons and they thoroughly enjoy the convenience and speed. I highly recommend this pasta cooker.

Fasta pasta is well made and cooks pasta as said in instructions. I removed a star because its too big to rotate in my microwave. Its much bigger than I expected

I really like this pasta cooker. It does a good job of cooking pasta. I have a small microwave and this doesn't rotate on the turntable because it's too large. It doesn't seem to matter, the whole thing is full of boiling water so I've never had any hot spots. The pasta does not stick together. I did have to adjust the cook time to 23 minutes for spaghetti and depending on what kind of pasta you like I'm sure the cook time will have to be adjusted accordingly to your microwave power and pasta type. Still, I was cooking pasta in a 6 quart kettle and this takes up a lot less room in the dishwasher top shelf. It's also very easy to drain pasta with the included cover. My microwave sits on the counter a couple feet from my sink so it's no problem for me to get this out of the microwave and over to the sink to drain it. I just give the pasta another rinse in the container and drain it again, so no dirty colander to wash. I did have the thought that if I had a microwave that was on a higher shelf I would probably have a harder time keeping it level and I might not want to be taking this out of an elevated microwave full of boiling water. It's not sealed and I think it would be pretty easy to spill hot water on yourself. (I am 65 and have some issues with arthritis) But for me and my situation it works great.

Works really well, relatively hassle free, faster rhan stove top, don’t have to deal with spillage, water boiling etc. you can just let it cook while you go about doing other stuff.My only concern is the ramifications of boiling stuff in plastic for a long time. I know most companies say their plastic is BPA and Pthalate free but who knows what chemicals can leach into the food.

OK, this is the "large" model that allows you to cook as much as 16 oz of pasta at a time. The "regular" model (I believe) only allows 8 oz max.It cooks the pasta quickly and very easily in your microwave. Note: you'll have to experiment with the cook time so that your particular microwave cooks the pasta al dente (or: however you like it).IMPORTANT: do NOT put the lid on when cooking. The lid is ONLY for measuring pasta before cooking and straining out the water after cooking.It has handles on the side so that you don't burn your fingers when removing it from the microwave. Very nice feature.The lid is GREAT for draining out the water from the pasta after it's cooked. Much easier than even a good colander#1 - because even thin spaghetti and angel-hair pasta do NOT get stuck in the slots or pass through the slots#2 - because the plastic cooker is light (much lighter than a pasta-sized metal pot) and easy to handle (with the side handles) and so very easy to strain the water off from the pastaThis is one of those kitchen gadgets that every pasta-lover should definitely have in their kitchen...if you need to cook a largish number of servings of pasta. For fewer servings, get the "regular" model. WONDERFUL invention. Attention to details make it VERY convenient.Also: easy to clean. I wash by hand.NO cons.

I love my Fasta Pasta maker. My husband found out about it from a client and told me to buy one RIGHT AWAY! This is odd for him, he normally says - stop buying things! LOL. It's super easy to use. It doesn't take up stove space while you're trying to make the sauce and sides. It cooks all sorts of pasta, but also potatoes, rice, etc. Perfect pasta every time! You can drain it using the lid. It's marked for the exact amount of water to use depending on serving size. It's easy to take it out of the oven without getting burned... Amazing!
