Summary: Don't believe the 3 star reviewer
Comment: 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!

Summary: I replace Pasta over Ramen Noodle !
Comment: I used to eat a lot of ramen noodle, because it was cheap and easy to made. But i had higher blood pressure as result because ramen noodle are typical fly even added the powder it still easily has over 1000 sodium.. even since i got fasta pasta, i had replace ramen noodle to pasta, tasted better and healthy, pasta i eat is wheat has no soldium very little fat, high in protin, carb, calories was almost half less ramen noodle i eat, pasta sauce i mix with only has like 300 solidum with it, fasta pasta is easy to use, just follow the direction and you are fine, every pasta will come out perfect no sticky! sometime i cook the pasta with fasta pasta then put the pasta on freezer for next day lunch meal, heal it up in microwave, it tasted just as good as before. Can't complain !

Summary: The Best Quick Pasta Cooker!
Comment: After seeing an infomercial for a microwave pasta cooker, I decided to check Amazon to see if there was any information or any reviews. I stumbled over the Fasta Pasta and read the reviews which were better than those for the other pasta cooker, so I thought I'd give it a try. I absolutely LOVE my Fasta Pasta and am ordering others for Christmas. It works perfectly for a lot or a little. Since my husband and I are on different schedules we can each make our own fresh-cooked pasta for the sauces that I make before going to work. I am totally happy with my purchase.

Summary: Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!
Comment: I have to admit I was a bit skeptical that this product would work as advertised, but the favorable Amazon reviews persuaded me to give it a shot. I'm glad I did. What a convenient item at a great price. I love the fact that I can cook, strain, and add sauce all in one container that is dishwasher safe. It cooks pasta, tortellini and other pasta items perfectly and it could not be easier. Just put it in the microwave and forget about it (you only have to stir it once, about halfway through). It frees up room on your stove for other items you may be cooking - and means less dishes to wash. Who can complain about that? I was afraid this would become just another kitchen "gadget" that would take up space and not get used -- but it's so convenient and works so well, you will use it again and again.
