I just got an email from a customer. It is below. Does anyone know the answer to this question?

Merry Christmas! I just got off the phone with my mother, and I had sent her the small and large microwave cookers. She wanted to know if she could cook pasta in them, and if so, how to do it. Would you happen to know how to do this?


Thanks,
Kimberlee
 
It is possible, but it doesn't reduce the cooking time significantly compared to cooking it on the stove top. Put pasta and water in a microcooker, bring to a boil, then cook for as long as recommended for the pasta.
 
Hi Kimberlee,Thank you for reaching out and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Yes, our microwave cookers can be used to cook pasta. Here are the steps to do so:1. Fill the cooker with water, leaving enough room for the pasta to expand while cooking.2. Place the pasta in the cooker and make sure it is fully submerged in the water.3. Microwave on high for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.4. Check the pasta for doneness. If it is not fully cooked, continue microwaving in 1-2 minute intervals until desired doneness is reached.5. Drain the pasta and serve with your favorite sauce or toppings.I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any other questions.Happy cooking!
