Saves time and energy:
Cooking your pasta in the microwave means no more waiting for your water to boil! This saves you valuable time especially on those busy nights when you just don’t have time to cook. Perfect for multitasking: Since you don’t have to watch over the stove, you can get other tasks done while your pasta is cooking!
Cook just the right amount of pasta every time: Measurement fill lines on the inside show you how much pasta you need for your desired serving size. Cleaning up has never been easier: Now you can cook, strain, serve, store and reheat all in one container! Fewer dishes to clean means more time to spend with your family.
Egg noodles and orzo can give erratic results, making it difficult to achieve good texture.
Do not allow pasta to sit after cooking in the water, it will continue to cook and become mushy.
Make sure the sauce is ready before you cook your pasta.
Once pasta is drained and sits in the Pasta Maker for a few minutes, shake to loosen any pasta that sticks together.
Remove from the microwave as soon as the pasta seems almost al dente as the cooking process will still continue a little longer— it should still have some chewiness, but the center should no longer be hard or gummy.
If you're serve the pasta warm, only rinse them if it really sticks together.
Rinse the pasta with cold running water when used for cold dishes such as pasta salads; it washes away starch and stops the pasta from sticking together If your microwave oven has a turntable, don't worry if the pasta maker is not turning due to its size. Pause half way through to flip the Pasta Maker.
