Pasta N More Microwave Cooker with Strainer, All in 1 Microwave Pasta Cooker, Microwave Rice Cooker and Microwave Egg Cooker for Quick Cooking, Nonstick, Dishwasher Safe

I bought my wife one of these and now she wants a couple more. That should tell you everything you need to know.

So easy and quick. Whole large amount of pasta I for other Applications. I love that it comes with the recipe book! I would recommend to anyone.

I can't believe I didn't hear about this year's ago. NEVER cooking pasta on the stove top again.Here's why:1. Precision is easier to achieve. Once you know your microwave's exact time for perfect pasta you get perfection every time. For me - spaghetti is 19 minutes out of the 18-20 minutes instructions. I'll never have to check multiple times in a pot of boiling water when pasta seems perfectly al dente!!! This alone makes it more convenient.2. The box came with 2 lids, pasta boat and 2 inserts for steaming. Some reviews had me expecting only 2 items for cooking pasta which I was fine with so I was pleasantly surprised there were 5 items in the box.3. Any one weak from health issues like carpal tunnel - this is a BIG upgrade from handling a steal pot.4. This microwave pasta cooker can cook an entire box of pasta. I don't know if I can mention the competitors by name in reviews so I'll just say LOOK CLOSELY at the others capacity if you want the option for cooking a whole box. Pasta N More cooks the most variety of quantity.5. No reason to heat up my kitchen with a pot of boiling water to cook pasta.

Before I ordered this pasta boat, I had read other customer reviews. Many customers who had bought this product in 2021 and 2022 complained in their reviews that they had received incomplete sets, which included only four or even three pieces. I decided to take a chance and ordered the product. If Amazon sent me an incomplete set, I would just return it.Lucky me! I received MORE than the advertised complete set. My set included these five pieces as advertised/listed:1. The main container, i.e., the pasta boat2. The steam rack, which goes into the pasta boat3. The strainer lid, which flips and opens on one side and has holes on the other side4. The storage lid, which is a solid piece that doe not flip or open and does not has holes5. The recipe bookThose are the five pieces as advertised and listed on Amazon and shown on the product box.In addition to those five pieces, my set also includes a sixth piece that is not shown in the Amazon listing or on the product box:6. An extension rack: a second steam rack that is bigger than the other steam rack, (i.e., no. 2.) The extension rack stacks atop the the pasta boat and adds another tier, for steaming two dishes at once.Those six pieces are everything that I received in November 2022.

Save a lot of time stirring. A great way to do pasta and more!

I only gave this 3 stars because the product didn’t come with the inserts as advertised. I got the bowl and 2 lids. It comes with a small cookbook and looks like some yummy recipes. However, I felt $14.93 was a decent price for what I got. I can’t say enough for how convenient and easy it was to use! The pasta did not stick. It recommends 18 - 20 minutes cook time but I don’t think I’ll cook it that long next time. Maybe 15 - 16 minutes. I loved being able to pop it into the microwave and just let it cook! No standing over a steaming stove, waiting for the water to boil, and stirring constantly to keep it from sticking. It didn’t boil over but it did leave a residue from the steam from the pasta. It cleaned up very easily tho.

The Pasta N More Microwave Cooker with Strainer is simple to use and easy to clean. You just measure the amount of pasta you will need using the ingenious handle measures, add the pasta and water and just sit back as you don't have to boil water, then add the pasta and monitor the pot on your stovetop. I followed the directions and 18-minutes later it was done with no pots to clean up. Of course you still have to cook the sauce or just add butter to tub, stir it and you have your buttery pasta dish. Well worth the purchase.

I felt compelled to write after reading some of the negative reviews this product received. First of all, the directions couldn't be more clear. It gives the ratio of water to use with how many cups of pasta you use. Following these directions, plus stirring midway (as it tells you to do) my pasta came out perfect. I like my pasta a little more done so I cooked it 2 - 3 min. more. As for the plastic taste........I followed the directions that tell you, before using for the first time, put water in container along with all other parts except lid and microwave 10 minutes....remove and wash with hot water and detergent thoroughly. Following these directions, my pasta had only the taste it was supposed to have.With it just being my husband and I, I'm always looking for ways to cut my cooking and clean up time down and the Pasta N More does just that. It's was so great not having to contend with a pan on the stove plus a strainer and bowl, as I served my pasta in the container.... and..... it was soooooo easy to clean.As for the recipe book being lame......please....there are 50 recipes in this tiny book.....what more can you want? Granted, probably all of the recipes won't taste that great.....but it's a pasta cooker.....I got it to cook pasta, anything else I can make in it is, for me, a bonus.
