Customer Rating: Summary: Great Product That Works! Delicious Pasta... Comment: I just received the Fasta Pasta and made whole wheat spaghetti that came out perfect. This is great for a single guy who doesn't want to watch a pot come to a boil then have to wash the pot and strainer. Simply measure your pasta, add the right amount of water and then let the microwave do its thing. No mess, no humidity. I love this product and will purchase more for gifts...Thanks for saving me time and simplifying my life. Customer Rating: Summary: LOVE IT!!! Comment: No more waiting for the water to boil. Just follow directions and in 8 minutes, ready to serve. Great product! Customer Rating: Summary: Great Product Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Makes Perfect Pasta Every Time Comment: 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!
Customer Rating: Summary: Wow! Comment: 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.
