Pasta & Potatoes Cooker

Good solid product and easy to make great fuss free pasta. For a quick trial run I put approximately 180 grams of pasta and about one litre of water into the Pasta Maker and cooked it in my 900 watt Microwave for 10 minutes and then let it stand for a minute. Pasta came out just perfect for me. Washing up was a breeze with a little soapy water and then a good rinse Wonderful, no steamed up kitchen and no pan to scrub. Just two things to look out for. Firstly it’s quite a large pot so check the measurements and ensure that it fits into your microwave. Max width, including the handles, is about 27cm and max height about 16 cm. Secondly the lid doesn’t clip on so you have to hold the lid in place whilst draining. No problem for most people but if you have problems with your hands it might be better to dig out the old colander to drain it. Really pleased with this product, does exactly what it says on the pot – fuss free easy pasta.

Although I haven't used this item as yet I can see it playing a central part in the cooking of the coming festive dinner. It's a well made item and an adequate size to steam all the veggies I'll need in one go. Well worth the investment.

This is a great way to leave pasta unattended and fuss free whilst cooking. I have had no issues with boiling over or foam as others have suggested, even when boiling the maximum amount of pasta. It's easy to clean and is made from good quality materials. It saves on washing up, boiling over and has a very handy strainer lid. However, the timings in the leaflet are not right. I assume they have not allowed for cold water (which they specify). So my first batch was very undercooked. I now add 25% extra time on the specified time, and the pasta turns out absolutely fine. This does mean it takes longer to cook pasta than on the stove, but the convenience is worth it.

Well made and designed and I would have loved to keep it, but the instructions said that it is only suitable for use in a microwave at a maximum setting of 800W. This was not clear from the product description. Sadly my microwave is 1000W and doesn't have an 800W or 700W setting, so I had to return it. If you have a microwave with the appropriate settings, then it is an excellent product and would be very useful.

Really pleased with this bowl. Microwaves the perfect pasta. Easy to clean and good quality product. Glad I bought it.

Dreadful cleaning and cooked egg clings to every part of the poacher... bad design... bad material... bad everything 😞

Easy to use. Excellent results

GREAT PRODUCT. ARRIVED SAFELY AND ON TIME.THANK YOU.

cuiez les pates

Muy satisfecho por este producto. gran calidad. lo recomiendo totalmente

Cuiseur bien pratique,il peut ne pas rentrer car un peu haut pour certains micro-ondes. Sinon cuisson parfaite.

Lid kept popping open. Spilled over. Tastic rice wasn't cooked after the guide time. Had to cook for like 30min. Came out soggy. Followed instructions. Used a 900w defy microwave.

Deze schaal is feitelijk elke dag in gebruik. Werkt perfect om te vis te stomen, maar ik kook er ook aardappelen in, in de magnetron. Reuze veel gemak.
