Pasta Express Double Set, Pour, Cook, Drain, As Seen on TV Review

Pasta Express Double Set, Pour, Cook, Drain, As Seen on TV
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received the double set of the Pasta Express this morning. I was extremely disappointed w/ the packaging of the set. I received the set in a plain cardboard box w/ the directions placed inside of one of the tubes that I cant even get open. How do I know that this hasnt been used before? Where is the original box (as shown in the picture)? Dont waste your time w/ this product because you cant even tell if it is brand new or not. I was planning on giving it as a gift for Christmas but I dont think I will now. I may return it but its such a hassle that I may just keep it.

Pasta Boat Review

The Pasta Boat is the Pasta N More that was sold a few years back....except its red. :D And like the Pasta N More, it works in exactly the same way. I know there have been mixed reviews for this style of pasta cooker but I have the Pasta N More and I use it exclusively for pasta now (no more boiling water on the stovetop)and the pasta comes out perfect every time.
Tip: Start out by putting hot water in the container, not cold. The microwave has to take time to heat up the water, otherwise, and that takes away from the cooking time. Doesn't have to be scalding hot, but hot. I cook about 3/4 of a box of spaghetti and fill the container with water to the #4 line and cook for 17 minutes. PERFECT! Don't have to think about it....don't have to test it. I did test it the first 2 times I used the unit but I don't test it anymore....I know it will come out just right. And it doesn't stick together, either. The drainer top is terrific and I serve the spaghetti right in the container.
I only paid $2 for mine at a thrift store and it looked like it had never been used. I did condition the unit the way they tell you by putting water in it and microwaving it that way before you use it for pasta. Don't know what the reasoning is behind that but I wasnt going to take the chance of NOT doing it. If it helped, I am glad I did it.

Handy Gourmet Microwave Pasta Maker Review

This little item really needs a cookbook to cover those wierd pastas you get from the health food store. For example, I love Soba noodles, but they cook to mush when I use this on standard settings.
Still, I think this is the best thing since microwaves. It doesn't heat up or steam up my kitchen nearly as much as a pot on the stove would, and no sticking.
Careful to leave the top of it OFF while you're microwaving. That's really not as dangerous as it sounds.

it is so simple, you can cook your pasta, drain it and pore in you cheese sauce. Then the good part comes just serve right from the bowl. I've also made feticcello, with alfredo sauce with shrimp. Very handy

Fasta Pasta Microwave Cooker with Spiral Bound F.P. Cookbook Review

This is great for cooking smaller amounts of pasta and the lid is the drainer. I also like that they tell you how much uncooked pasta to use per serving. This way I can cook the amount I need and hopefully not over eat. Whole wheat pasta need to be cooked a little longer than regular pasta. I've only used it for cooking pasta so far but I love it. I usually only cook for 1 or 2 people. It's faster than waiting for a pot of water to boil. I haven't tried the recipe book yet.

Fox Run Microwave Corn Steamer with Lid Review

I really like this product. In the past I cooked my corn on the cob in boiling water. When you only have to cook for 1 or 2 people this Corn Steamer is the way to go. In less time, than it takes to boil water your corn can be cooked. The only thing is sometime the corn on the cob can be too big or fat for the tray, if it is too long just trim the end a bit if it is too fat then set the lid on as best you can it still works.

Fasta Pasta The Microwave Cooker Review

I've been boiling various pasta noodles, at least twice a week, for over 25 years. When I first saw the FASTA PASTA microwave cooker internet demo video, I was a bit skeptical but interested enough to purchase the product from Amazon.com. After using the product three times, I can honestly say that it not only cooks pasta very fast but better, with less mess and energy, than pot boiling the noodles. Just follow the simple instructions and you will have perfectly cooked pasta without having to check it while cooking for readiness. I wish that this product had been invented years ago. My ONLY minor negative comments: 1. FASTA PASTA can only cook up to four pasta servings at one time, which makes its use for a large group impracticle. 2. The water measurement lines are a bit difficult to see when water and pasta is added to the cooker. Adding color to these lines would make them easier to see.
