  • (UPDATED 16 Aug, 2017) Great Microwave Pasta For 1 Or 2, Quick & Easy Cleanup, Good Instructions, Uses Less Water
Style: Cooker
I live alone and find I use the microwave for a lot of my cooking. I use the microwave for steaming veggies, rice, and now with this simple tool pasta! The Fasta Pasta makes microwave cooking pasta for one much easier. When I want pasta it's quick and easy and the draining lid means a little less cleanup. It is just the right length for grocery store spaghetti/linguini. There are holes in the top for measuring one or two portions (it will cook up to 4). There are lines on the side help get just the right amount of water for 1 to 4 portions. All well thought out for the microwave cook. The 1 page brochure includes example cooking times for different types and portions of pasta and also warns that you will likely need to make adjustments for your own microwave. In my case I cook gluten-free pasta. There are lots of brands and tastes differ so another may be your first choice. I cooked a mainly rice GF fettuccine and using the guidelines in the brochure it came out great. The lid is used to measure portions and as a sieve to drain the cooked pasta. It is NOT used during cooking! This was not obvious to me before reading the instructions which are short, sweet and worth reading. Measure pasta (place in bottom), add water to the line for your number of portions, pop it into the microwave for the appropriate time, put on the lid, drain and serve. Easy Peasy! Cleanup was very easy and I recommend that if you don't wash it right away, fill it with water and a couple drops of dish detergent. When I do this cleanup after eating is quick and easy. I use my hands, not a dishwasher, though it is top-shelf safe. In conclusion, I didn't expect too much from the Fasta Pasta and my expectations were thoroughly exceeded. It is clear they designed in with clear thought about how it would be used. From the water lines, pasta portion holes, strainer or simple directions it's designed with the microwave cook in mind. Most of all, my results have been excellent and very tasty. That a 5 star performance in my cook-for-1 kitchen. UPDATE 16 Aug, 2017: I used my Fasta Pasta last night for GF angel hair pasta and then mixed in some pesto after it was done. Usually I'm cooking for just myself and I have been loving this easy to use and clean pasta cooker more and more. Before Fasta Pasta I only made pasta rarely and now I enjoy it several times a week. The Fasta Pasta is quick, precise (one or two serving size measuring holes in the top) and easy: just how I like things. Since I've adjusted timings for my microwave my results are consistently excellent and that's the bottom line for me. Fasta Pasta is still is exceeding my expectations! One thing I found out with the Fasta Pasta is there is very little water to pour off when done compared to using a pot on the stove. The water measurements are pretty precise and when done there is very little extra water used. Another plus for me. A TIP: I found helps save time is as you've dumped the pasta from the Fasta Pasta rinse and quickly wash the lid and the bottom. When I let it sit till after dinner the pasta residue has started to stick to the plastic much more. This turned out to make cleaning the Fasta Pasta even easier. ... show more

  • One of those rare gadgets that works BETTER than expected!
Style: Cooker
Reasons the Fasta Pasta is great: 1) Tastes better. Who knew so much flavor was lost in the pot of water??!! Not gummy or stuck-together. 2) Faster. Done in the time it takes water to boil. 3) Safer. No heavy pot of boiling water wrestle. 4) Easier. Top rack dishwasher safe. No pots or colander to wash. 5) Saves space. 6) Relatively inexpensive. What's not great: 1). Only cooks small batches at a time. 2) Very little pasta water, if you use that to adjust other things. 3) A little short. I had to break spaghetti in half to fit, but I do that anyway, so YMMV. This is one of those rare products that is even better than expected. ... show more

  • the best thing since sliced bread
Style: Cooker
It actually works!!! It was surprising how well! No need for a large pot & colander. No waiting for water to boil. It cooks perfectly by following the instructions, so no need to check if it's done. It's amazing!

  • Shockingly Easy to Use
Style: Cooker
Cooks Illustrated recommended this American made microwave pasta cooker and, boy, was the magazine right -- this is a fantastic way to make pasta. No need to do a big pot of boiling water, no need to carry it to the sink to pour through a colander and worry about dropping the pot or having it slip. With this, you just measure the pasta using the holes on the lid for 1 or 2 servings (which can double for up to four servings) fill it to the water line, and put it in the microwave. We haven't had under- or overcooked pasta since. You microwave with the lid off then put it on to drain the water out through built in slots. After it's drained, I just add cold water through the measuring holes and drain it again and it's ready. It's quick and easy to clean up and you can, according to the website, make vegetables and other things in it - the plastic-like material it's made out of is safe around food and microwave friendly. I normally (in a big pot) make a whole package of spaghetti noodles but four servings in the Fasta Pasta are about 2/3rds of the package. I wish it was able to hold the entire package. We simply cook the rest of the noodles the next day and add them and we have our beloved leftovers dinner and a couple of lunches, as usual. If there is a larger size, I'll be purchasing it, but this is truly so easy to use that I can't ding it down to four stars. Not having to manhandle the big pot of boiling water has changed our habits, making it easier to have spaghetti and other noodle dishes more often. We almost never made lasagne until now because the noodles were such a pain, but they're much easier with this cooker. There are pretenders made in China - hold out for this American version. The price is great, too. I'm all about ease - easy use, easy clean up, easy storage. The Fasta Pasta has it all. Highly recommended. After quite a bit of use, I'm knocking this down to four stars - it works beautifully, but why can't it hold a whole one pound box of spaghetti? We have to cook the rest of the box as a second load of pasta. And some spaghetti pasta, like Barilla's, are a tiny bit longer than other brands so it doesn't fit quite as well. (I wouldn't take a star off for that because it doesn't harm it, it's just annoying.) Still, even with the size hassle, I'd buy it again. It's that easy to use. ... show more
