Micro Cooker Keeps Boiling Over

[andiphant]

Help, I recently read all the great ideas for how to use my micro-cooker. I've had it for years and only used it for canned veggies til now! Anyway I put in some pasta and water for about 5 minutes and it boils over everywhere making the biggest mess in the microwave. I don't think it was overfull, it wasn't even half-full. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks!

I don't have that problem, but what i would do is to just keep checking it every few minutes.

Did you have the lid on when cooking the pasta, I have found with the lid it boils over, I only use the lid to drain with pasta.
I hope that helps!

Aha! That sounds like a good solution. I did have the lid on it.

PS I always think you are me because I am an "ALF" too, lol. That's the first thing I considered when I met my husband. I thought "oh, great if I marry him my initials will be ALF" Guess he was worth it

I am an ASH...I always told my mother that I wouldn't be able to marry a man with a last name that started with an "S"...or I would be an AS(you get the picture)!!!

my son's initals are BTW (by the way) and my daughter is PAW the things we realize when we have too much time on our hands.

My step daughter has the initials WEB. I used to work with a girl that had the initials KKK We had to use a stamp with our initials and employee number on all the orders that we handled. I think if I was her I would have just left out the middle name, or made one up for the stamp.

That is so funny a fellow ALFer! The whole time we were dating I kept going ALF, my maiden initials were ALS, so my DH would call me Amanda Sue AS*. Oh it would irk me, then one day we were at the grocery store and there was a girl named Amanda Sue, we just walked out laughing so hard. My DH said I hope her last name doesn't start w/ an S.
Thanks for the laugh!
