Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fasta Pasta The Microwave Cooker
Customer Review: Does the job, just not that "fasta"
Summary: 4 Stars
I like that I can cook macaroni without a dangerous pot of boiling water on the stove. With small children, this is a plus. It does a good job cooking the pasta, too. It is not sticky or anything. It tastes like regular boiled macaroni. The downsides are that it holds about a half of a pound and that the lid doesn't lock in place when straining. And, it is not as fast as I thought. It still takes about 14 minutes. Still, if this were to suddenly break or vanish, I'd come back and buy another right away.Customer Review: Does what it says
Summary: 5 Stars
This product really works, and works well. We are full time RVers who travel volunteering. You want to travel light and want to conserve propane. Using an electric pot to boil water works but puts excess moisture into the air with lots of condensation inside in cold weather. It also is very time consuming. The Fasta Pasta cooks in half the time with less water and no condensation, and the spagetti comes our perfect everytime.Customer Review: Does what it says it will
Summary: 5 Stars
I had doubts but am very pleased with this product. It does what they say it does. I cooked two servings of penne and it was el dente as they said it would be. Couldn't be easier. 16 minutes total. built in strainer works fine. They include cooking guides for all sorts of pasta types and quantities including gluten free. There was no boil over. Just remember to cook WITHOUT the lid onCustomer Review: Don't believe the 3 star reviewer
Summary: 5 Stars
I have every kitchen gadget---from a VERY expensive breadmaker to a fajita machine---as well as your standard toaster, blender, magic bullet and so on. If I had to choose one (and I love my magic bullet) I would choose this one.
I hate to cook and I love pasta, so I always bought it to go. No more.
I haven't bought take-out pasta since I bought this gadget.
The usual process is:
put water on, wait, go back, check, wait---is it boiling yet?
Then put in pasta and set timer.
Go back, pull out pasta strand with tongs and burn mouth.
Cook longer, repeat.
Get out strainer, pour water into it, steam burn! (I told you I cannot cook.)
Lose part of it trying to get it into the strainer, or turn the *&^% strainer over and get none of it.
And then you have to clean the pot, the tongs, and the strainer (maybe the sink).
All this nonsense took FOREVER.
With this gadget there is no pain, no wasted time---at all. I have another kind that does not work, so I was skeptical. But Amazon takes things back without question, so I thought it was worth a try.
I LOVE PASTA.
Great decision!
It works perfectly. You stand the pasta in one of several holes on the lid to measure it. The big hole is two servings. Then lay the pasta in the container and fill with water to the line indicated for two servings. Put in microwave for the time they tell you. (Mine is an old microwave, so I use 15 minutes---I knew I needed more time because I always do.) Take it out and put the lid on it and lift it over the sink to strain it. It is just awesome and always, always perfect.
So it takes one minute (or less) to measure, fill, and stick in the microwave compared to the usual way, which I hated. I make pasta all the time now and NEVER buy it to go. NEVER EVER. This thing paid for itself with one use. I think I need more than one because it's always in the dishwasher.
Try it---I promise you, it's just awesome!
Customer Review: Easy Noodles!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is easier to cook noodles because it takes less time. Plus my son loves it very much and there are less dishes to wash. Also my 11 year old son can make it.
