Pasta Express Double Set Review

Pasta Express Double Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received the double set of the Pasta Express this morning. I was extremely disappointed w/ the packaging of the set. I received the set in a plain cardboard box w/ the directions placed inside of one of the tubes that I cant even get open. How do I know that this hasnt been used before? Where is the original box (as shown in the picture)? Dont waste your time w/ this product because you cant even tell if it is brand new or not. I was planning on giving it as a gift for Christmas but I dont think I will now. I may return it but its such a hassle that I may just keep it.

This product does not work. I eat a lot of pasta and could not wait to buy it. It didn't work even when I tried changing the cooking times and temperature. It also didn't work with vegetables either. it should be taken of the market. I have a microwave rice cooker that works much better.

I bought this asparagus steamer a couple of years ago and was able to use it only a few times because the basket and the bottom of the steamer rusted right away. I have several stainless steel pots and none of them rusted...they are not supposed to. I was definitely not happy with the product!

Microwave Ramen Cooker Review

Microwave Ramen Cooker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
YES!
At last! A way to cook ramen in the microwave so that it comes out tasting like you cooked it on the stovetop!
The cooker is large enough to hold 2 packs of ramen at once and is suitable for cooking additional ingredients like eggs freshly cracked right on top of the ramen brick.
After 7 minutes in the microwave, it's hot and steamy enough to stir a raw egg in and have egg drop ramen.
I use chives myself. ^^
Clean up is easy and the ramen flavoring doesn't stain.
My favorite feature is only present in the other model available from eKitron though. It would have to be the fact it has a miso spork that's perfect for eating ramen and it fits conveniently right inside the lid. ^^
I haven't tried this particular model, but it's made by the same company and is more than likely of the same high quality. You can compare and contrast at eKitron.com.
Highly, Highly recommended for any ramen fan!

MIU Stainless 10-Quart Steamer and Pasta Cooker with Glass Lid Review

MIU Stainless 10-Quart Steamer and Pasta Cooker with Glass Lid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this pot specifically for making chicken stock, and it did the job perfectly. The contents heated up quickly and evenly on my glass top stove. I was able to bring a full pot to a boil within a few minutes. With my old 4 quart RevereWare pot, it would take 15-20 minutes to bring water to a boil. This MIU pot obviously has good heat retention and distribution. The bottom is thick and heavy and the entire pot has a good solid feel to it. The lid fits properly, and there were no problems with sputtering or dripping from the lid. The glass is a nice bonus. You can check on your food without having to the lift the lid and lose heat. I have not used the steamer basket or pasta insert. Both fit well, though. The pasta cooker, when inserted, sits about 1 inch from the bottom of the pot, but I cannot comment on its performance. The steamer basket has a handle for lifting that's hard to see in the photo. It's unlikely that I'll use the pasta cooker or steamer basket any time soon, but if I do, I'll update this review.

Circulon Infinite Circulon 7-Quart Covered Locking Straining Stockpot Review

Circulon Infinite Circulon 7-Quart Covered Locking Straining Stockpot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have two smaller Circulon straining pots, from the "Circulon 2" family. I use them every day, literally, but always have to be mindful of the lids as they do not properly lock. I discovered this the first day, when I dumped my spaghetti into the sink while attempting to strain it. After that, I wore an oven glove to hold the lid on (Circulon recommended not tipping that pot more than 45 degrees to strain, which was ridiculous - that seemed like an afterthought meant to cover their butts. That would've left half the water in the pot, which would have defeated the purpose of having a straining saucepan!).
With this pot, you don't have to do that. It locks the way it's supposed to. The pot feels sturdy enough, though I expected the lid to be "heavier". It doesn't need to be, though. It works beautifully the way it is and is not flimsy in any way.
The pot is a good size for family-sized pasta meals, and is so much easier to use and less awkward than pasta pots that come with the insert. And it's so much better than having a colander sit in the sink and dumping the whole pot into it, which allows the dirty water in the drain to back up into the sink and make contact with the pasta. Yuk.
This pot is also great for cooking quantities of sauce, too. The lid allows the steam to vent without splatter going everywhere.
I use this pot for much more than pasta and sauce, however.
It's great for cooking up a pot of soup in the winter, which is something I do a lot, or a pot of beans. And it's fantastic for making rice pudding on the stovetop because it's non-stick. You can use it for virtually anything. If you don't need venting for a particular dish, lay a piece of foil across the top before setting the lid on top.
I was so impressed with this pot, I bought one for each of my three daughters!

The quintessential comfort food, pasta transitions beautifully from a delicate side dish to a hearty show stopper with amazing ease and versatility. Cook a variety of pastas to "al dente" perfection with this smart update to the traditional--and cumbersome--pot-on-the-stove technique. To use, simply load the pasta-cooker with fresh or dried spaghetti, rotini, linguine, penne, or other favorite pasta noodles, cover with boiling water, and close with the included secure-fitting lid. With no need for stirring or risk of boiling over, the unit cooks up to two servings of pasta in a matter of 4 to 10 minutes. Even more, the eco-friendly cooker requires just 32 ounces of water per cooking cycle, which results in the conservation of up to 50 percent more water and 70 percent more energy than stovetop cooking. The unit also provides airtight storage for shelf-stable pastas when not in use, and a helpful recipe booklet and measurement tool come included. The smart and efficient pasta cooker measures 3-4/5 by 3-4/5 by 13 inches and carries a 90-day limited warranty.

Average Reviews:

This cooker is very light weight steel. It looks good and functions well, but will probably not be kitchen quality for very many years. After just a few uses, the steel is beginning to "pit" in the bottom. This leads me to believe that this pot was not made with high quality stainless steel.

This highly functional cooker is great for making perfect asparagus. The stems cook at a higher heat than the tips, making for even cooking throughout.

Average Reviews:

I received Pasta n' More as a gift. I already owned the Fasta Pasta Microwave Cooker, and was looking forward to comparing the two. And what I found out was: There really is no comparison. Pasta n More LOOKS like you're getting more for your money, but doesn't deliver. The instructions are unclear, and the cookbook that comes with it is lame. I've used it 4 times and my pasta has came out hard on the ends and pasty in the middle.
I've used my Fasta Pasta at least 50 times, and my pasta is always perfect. If you're wondering which one to buy, save yourself some time, money and pasta - get Fasta Pasta. Another bonus?? MADE IN THE USA!!(not China- Pasta n More is) I'm trying to buy American made products whenever I can

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 8-Quart Pot with Glass Lid and 2 Inserts Review

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 8-Quart Pot with Glass Lid and 2 Inserts
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After stocking up on Calphalon cookware through Amazon, I almost purchased this item after reading the official Amazon review. Fortunately, I examined one while browsing a local store, and saw that only the bottom was aluminum core, not the sides, and the bottom was impact-bonded with a seam. Examine the Amazon close-up picture and you also can easily see the seam at the bottom.
The box I looked at clearly stated this as well. The multi-pot that I examined was definitely Calphalon Contemporary Stainless, not the less expensive Simply Calphalon series. This is not the 8-quart stockpot, which is much more expensive, and does not come with any inserts.
I am purchasing the Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless 8-quart stockpot instead, and finding an after-market stainless steel steamer insert. The inserts for this pan and the Simply Calphalon Stainless 8-quart multi-pot do not fit the Tri-Ply. The two pasta inserts that Calphalon offers for sale alone are for the professional and contemporary stainless stockpots only, and also do not fit the Tri-Ply.
The official Amazon review needs to be revised.

After reading online all the horror stories from people who tried to order the Pasta Boat from a TV ad and were not told of the silly outragious shipping charges till AFTER they placed the order. I went here to Amazon and got it with normal Fedex charges alittle over $3.00. It came yesterday and I tried it today with no complaints. I did stop the micro a minute short of the full time suggested just to check and it was more than enough. I made 2 servings.

Simply Calphalon Stainless Multipot Review

Simply Calphalon Stainless Multipot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this set to replace another pot of similar size. I figured that this would be a great deal - it's got inserts and it's from Calphalon at a great price too. The tempered glass cover fits well and is helpful because you can see inside without removing the cover although it spits when the pot is at a full and rapid boil. It's a stainless steel piece so it's not dark when you look inside like many other Calphalon pieces. The aluminum bottom is not the same as on their commercial or professional lines. It's a heavy-duty aluminum bottom attached to a stainless steel pot. Even though the pot along with the bottom is thicker and heavier than most other lines that do the same, it did not heat up like other Calphalon pieces that I own. Still, I cooked a stew at a slow simmer for six hours and it didn't burn at the bottom. A good thing.
This is the first time that I have inserts like these and I don't think much of the big insert. To cook pasta or food, you need to add an additional 2 quarts of water (the amount needed to touch the bottom of the insert) making it more time consuming to use. I will cook my pasta without the insert and may use the insert as a colander/drainer. The small insert is useful because you can steam items while boiling pasta or other items
All in all, a good pot not a great one at a great price.

This is a high-quality enamel pot. Just like they made in the old days but without the extra weight. I have arthritis and I can still manage to easily remove the insert with the 2 sturdy handles. Much easier than using a colander.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Granite Ware 7 1/3 Quart Pasta Pot

This 7 1/3 Qt covered pasta pot and drainer is constructed of low carbon steel with porcelain glass coating. There are no PFOA's or any other chemical to alter food's taste, color or healthfullness. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won\'t burn and resists staining. It\'s also non -porous so it won\'t trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction – meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time.When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way but you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove.

Prime Pacific Pasta Cooker and Steamer set with Glass Lid and Bonus 1.5 Quart Euro Colander Review

Prime Pacific Pasta Cooker and Steamer set with Glass Lid and Bonus 1.5 Quart Euro Colander
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Although this pot is inexpensive, I don't think it is a good value. The quality level of this pot is typical of what is found in dollar stores. The steel is so thin that I can literally buckle the side of the pot with my index finger. You are going to have to coddle this pot to keep it from getting dented up.
The steel at the base is just as thin as the sides, so heat distribution is terrible. This will not be too big an issue if you're just boiling water for pasta or steaming. But, this pot is not going to double as good stock pot.
It looks as inexpensive as it is. So, it's probably not going to flatter the decor of your kitchen.
Accordingly, I am returning this item. I think it's worth spending a little more to get something better.

Fasta Pasta The Microwave Cooker Review

I've been boiling various pasta noodles, at least twice a week, for over 25 years. When I first saw the FASTA PASTA microwave cooker internet demo video, I was a bit skeptical but interested enough to purchase the product from Amazon.com. After using the product three times, I can honestly say that it not only cooks pasta very fast but better, with less mess and energy, than pot boiling the noodles. Just follow the simple instructions and you will have perfectly cooked pasta without having to check it while cooking for readiness. I wish that this product had been invented years ago. My ONLY minor negative comments: 1. FASTA PASTA can only cook up to four pasta servings at one time, which makes its use for a large group impracticle. 2. The water measurement lines are a bit difficult to see when water and pasta is added to the cooker. Adding color to these lines would make them easier to see.
