Pasta & Potatoes Cooker

Good solid product and easy to make great fuss free pasta. For a quick trial run I put approximately 180 grams of pasta and about one litre of water into the Pasta Maker and cooked it in my 900 watt Microwave for 10 minutes and then let it stand for a minute. Pasta came out just perfect for me. Washing up was a breeze with a little soapy water and then a good rinse Wonderful, no steamed up kitchen and no pan to scrub. Just two things to look out for. Firstly it’s quite a large pot so check the measurements and ensure that it fits into your microwave. Max width, including the handles, is about 27cm and max height about 16 cm. Secondly the lid doesn’t clip on so you have to hold the lid in place whilst draining. No problem for most people but if you have problems with your hands it might be better to dig out the old colander to drain it. Really pleased with this product, does exactly what it says on the pot – fuss free easy pasta.

Great product plenty of capacity in two trays. Never usef one of these before but use all the time now

This is a great way to leave pasta unattended and fuss free whilst cooking. I have had no issues with boiling over or foam as others have suggested, even when boiling the maximum amount of pasta. It's easy to clean and is made from good quality materials. It saves on washing up, boiling over and has a very handy strainer lid. However, the timings in the leaflet are not right. I assume they have not allowed for cold water (which they specify). So my first batch was very undercooked. I now add 25% extra time on the specified time, and the pasta turns out absolutely fine. This does mean it takes longer to cook pasta than on the stove, but the convenience is worth it.

I had a religious epiphany when using this as an egg poacher, and now find myself a full believer in the concepts of karma and samsara, because I must have done something truly horrific in past lives so that I can only atone by using this as an egg poacher. Every egg poached is a new experience for how long it will actually take, and how cooked or rubbery said eggs will be when I finally fish them out of the poacher. One experience which is universal is how long it will take me to clean up all the escaped egg white from the poaching basket and the base, and sometimes even the microwave itself. It is genuinely easier to poach eggs in a pan of boiling water. Please don’t torture yourself like I am doomed to by buying this to poach eggs. On the plus side, it’s quicker to make an omelette in this than in a pan. So three stars for helping me to accumulate enough karma to escape the cycle of rebirth, and I can at least have speedy omelettes in the meantime.

Really useful. Makes perfect pasta in about 12 mins. Steams potatoes in about 6 mind. Drains perfectly using lid. Hand washes so easily

Egg can explode when you take it out of the microwave or luckily for me inside. Instructions for use are poor. Be careful.

Not great, instructions don’t tell you how much water to add so its trial and error. However no matter how little I put in it still bubbles over, put too much in and it floods the microwave. The egg white runs through the slits so you lose half of it and you end up with gooey water. What you end up with is poached egg bullets, rubbery and unpleasant. I can’t comment on the omelette making as I threw it in the bin after the sixth attempt at decent poached eggs.

Although I haven't used this item as yet I can see it playing a central part in the cooking of the coming festive dinner. It's a well made item and an adequate size to steam all the veggies I'll need in one go. Well worth the investment.

Très bon produit pour les pâtes, je n'ai pas encore testé pour les pommes de terre. Utilisé depuis février 2025, il est assez facile à nettoyer. De façon pratique, j'ajoute 3 minutes - en mettant de l'eau déjà très chaude du robinet, au temps de cuisson indiqué sur les paquet de pâtes. La cuisson est alors pratiquement toujours parfaite. Le couvercle (à ne pas laisser en cuisson) sert d'égouttoir très pratique.

Rien à dire. Simple et efficace !

Excellent produit , fait très bien le job !!!
