Great Product November 8, 2008

I was a doubter but purchased this pasta cooker because of the good reviews. Well, I'm a believer now. This thing works great. Pasta was cooked just how I like it. Didn't boil over, no hot steamy kitchen, no stirring, no pot to wash. And it cleans up easy in the dishwasher. It's now on my list of things to buy for Christmas presents for my friends.
Makes Perfect Pasta Every Time November 6, 2008

I've bought my fair share of gadgets that don't do what they're supposed to, but this sure isn't one of them. I can't rave enough about how well the Fasta Pasta works.
I've used this about a dozen times or so and the pasta has been done perfectly every time. The times and quantities on the directions sheet are just right for Al Dente. I've tried spaghetti, rigatoni and penne, all came out excellent.
It's so much easier to just wash this little box out than to deal with boiling a big pot of water and then washing it and a colander afterwards.
My only suggestion would be to improve the handling of it once the pasta is cooked, as the water draining out is very hot so you need to be very careful. My first time using it I did get some hot water on my hands. (Same thing happened to my husband the first time he used it.) Maybe it would be better if the lid snapped on to drain instead of laying on top.
For this reason I'd say kids shouldn't handle it.
Aside from a little awkwardness in the handling, it's terrific!
Wow! November 3, 2008

All I can say is wow! It really works and it's made in the USA. I made 3 different types of pasta (fettucini, mini bowties and mini penne). I followed the directions and the pasta came out perfectly. No sticking, no under/over cooking....perfect. If you love pasta and hate to wait for water to boil, this is for you.
Works as Advertised, in Fact Quite Well... October 28, 2008

I've used this product to cook 2 pasta dishes and it works as advertised, in fact it works quite well. You can cook approximately 1 box of spaghetti max at one time with this.
Unless you like your pasta "al dente," your going to want to set it in the microwave for at least 15 minutes. If you like your pasta really soft you can simply let it sit for another few minutes.
The main benefit to me isn't so much the decreased cooking times but less clean up and it frees you to do other things while its cooking, like preparing sauces or other ingredients as you don't have to watch it like you would on a stove.
If you have a small microwave, I'm using a Goldstar Intellowave, with interior space (11.5" deep x 11.5" wide x 8" high) the rotating platter can get in the way as the space is too small inside for it to make a full revolution. You can get around this by taking out the rotating plate and just resting the Fasta Pasta towards the edge or back of the microwave. It still works well if it doesn't rotate in the microwave. If your small microwave has a way to temporarily disable the rotating plate even better.
NOW WE ALL CAN PREPARE SPAGHETTI! October 25, 2008

I love this little thing! The only mistake I made, was putting the whole one pound box of spaghetti in the cooker, instead of measuring for one serving. NOW, WHEN I WANT SPAGHETTI, I CAN HAVE IT!
