Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pasta N More 5 Piece Microwave Pasta Cooker Set with Bonus Cookbook
Customer Review: Perfect for a quick meal
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this little thing. Is it worth the 20 dollar original price? No. But I got mine on sale for 10 dollars, and that's really about what it's worth...it's just a lot of plastic.
But it does the job perfectly! It's faster then cooking it on the stove, and cleanup is really fast since you're only using one dishwasher safe container. Most importantly the pasta tastes fantastic.
Customer Review: Perfect for small meals
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this at the store for $20.
It works as claimed. Takes about 13 minutes for a single serving of pasta. If you really think about it, it takes about three minutes to get a pot out, put water on it and put it on the stove. Allow an additional 7 to 10 minutes to get the water boiling. Another 7 minutes to boil the pasta. Then you have to dump it into a strainer. So not only do you save time, you dont have to clean a pot, and a strainer after you're done.
With the Pasta N More, you just put the pasta in the Pasta N More, throw it in the microwave, hit 13 and start then walk away. No stirring, or having to come back and check on it. Then when the pasta is done, you can then just strain it using the lid, and then throw some sauce into the pasta, nuke it for about another minute and you've saved yourself from having to clean another pot for the sauce!
So to those who think its faster and easier with the stovetop method, think a little more carefully about that.
Customer Review: Poor product not worth the money
Summary: 1 Stars
I've used this product over & over, and still keep coming up with the same result- pasta that is either over done or not cooked thoroughly. Ends of noodles are hard, middle of noodles are mushy. I can't for the life of me figure out how this product has gotten any stars- I'd give it zero stars if I could. It's been a total waste of money. I should have purchased the other pasta cooker that is getting such great reviews on Amazon- I thought Pasta n More would cook more and it also came with a cookbook, so I thought it was a better deal. Boy, was I WRONG!!!Customer Review: Poorly made, poor instructions- very disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
After seeing all of the informercials on this product (that should have been my first clue)I purchased this from Amazon. When I opened the package, I was surprised at how poorly made it was. The lid is hard to take on & off, the 'measuring' handles are a little laughable, and overall looked like cheap plastic. I still thought it might work- I washed it out with soap & water thoroughly, and made some pasta. I followed the instuctions (very poor). The pasta was undercooked on the ends and overcooked in the middle. That wasn't the biggest problem - THE PASTA TASTED LIKE THE PLASTIC SMELL FROM THE PACKAGE!! I tried it again - re-washed the cooker, re-cooked the pasta and it still had the plastic smell taste. I threw all the pasta out. The product says it is microwaveable, but it's also made in China (I didn't know that when I purchased it). I was thinking of buying some for Christmas (sounded like something new and different), but will not now.Customer Review: Retired
