Calculate one percent of salt for the total weight of the pasta," says Manco. "You should salt the pasta after it has started to boil and just before you are ready to add the pasta.

How To Choose A Microwave Pasta Cooker It’s also worth mentioning that the container is long enough to hold full-length fettuccini strands without having to break them. The cover of the cooker can be used for straining water , and the holes are convenient to use even if you’re cooking small pasta spirals or thin noodles. Pots with strainer inserts are easy to use. Simply leave the insert in the pot and fill it with the necessary amount of water. Bring the water to a boil, then add your pasta. When your pasta cook time is up, lift the strainer insert out of the water, allowing as much water as possible to drain out, and finish your pasta in sauce. Usually, pasta cookers come with measurers and perhaps plastic strainers. However, there are plenty of other gadgets to opt for if you buy a multifunctional cooker like vegetable steamers and rice measuring cups. Cleaning As you may already know, the most durable pots are usually made of stainless steel or anodized aluminum . Unfortunately, these materials aren’t suitable for microwave cooking.For starters, the vessel is made of BPA-free plastic , and it’s 12 x 5.5 x 3.7 inches, so it’s almost as big as the Fasta Pasta. Accordingly, it can be used for cooking both short and long pasta strands, and despite offering a maximum of 2 pasta servings, you can cook an entire box of small pasta in one sitting. When it comes to capacity, the container is large enough for 2 to 3 servings at once. Unfortunately, though, there aren’t any marks to determine the water level. Since the cooker doesn’t come with a measurer or a portion guide, you’ll need to buy a separate pasta measurer , for that matter.
