Pasta is such a wonderful dish to serve up for your family and friends but sometimes, making it can be a bit tedious.

I just bought this and I am so excited. But I was wondering if anyone has cooked egg noodles in it yet and if so, how long and what water level they cooked them at? Thanks!!!

Awesome for pasta, scrambled eggs, steamed veggies, mashed potatoes.
Best item I have cooked in it? Steams a Lobster like a dream!
Review by Mary May 2, 2011
Main compaint is I cannot find anywhere, on the web or in books with boat how long to cook whole wheat pasta which is the only kind I cook. I usually make 4-6 servings. How much water and how long do I cook it?

My husband bought the pasta boat from PCH, he was dissappointed because it was to big for our microwave and had to send it back. The ad should include the dimentions.

Hi,
I also love my pasta boat, I thought it took a little longer for the spaghetti
but when I counted the time on the stove for the water to come to a rolling boil, and then ten minutes to cook the spaghetti, the pasta boat was not that much longer, I also did have a few clumps of spaghetti, but I guess if you stir it once, it would be okay, also I have used it to make steel cut oatmeal and that is a cinch, the recipe is in the book, really cuts down the time.

I absolutely love the pasta boat. No more testing the pasta to see if it is done. The times are perfect and I have not been disappointed yet. Steaming vegetables are jsut as easy.
Review by Bee January 23, 2011
I will never go back to makeing pasta in a regular pot again! ever! I bought a pasta boat around christmas time and loved it so I bought one for my roomate and my sister-in-law and now I’m going to get one for my daughter and son! It does exactly as it is advertised! The only thing I wish they would improve on and it’s minor, is to make the measurements easier to read. It was the best ten dollars I ever spent!
Review by Wendy January 19, 2011
I purchased my Pasta Boat from the store. I do think its easier to make pasta than in a pot but Im experiencing a problem that I dont see anyone else complaining about. My boats boils over in the microwave. Im adding the water to the line as instructed, why do I get boil overs and nobody else does?
Review by Carol January 19, 2011
I love the pasta boat. I have only filled it up to the 4 cup line and it’s never boiled over. The only time it boiled over is when I forgot that you don’t put the lid on when in the microwave. I learned the hard way. My only concern is although they say that it’s safe for the microwave, coming from China, is it really? Until proven otherwise, maybe not so smart on my part, I will continue using it because it makes it so much easier and I don’t have to break the pasta in half which my husband hates.
Review by Bonnie January 14, 2011
I got my pasta boat for Christmas after begging for it for months. I love it. My kids love macaroni and cheese and with this I make it without taking too much time away from other things. It works well and if you use it right it doesn’t spill over in the microwave. I recommend this to anyone who makes pasta. I did find that it doesn’t cook spaghetti noodles well. Mine clumped a bit. Maybe a stop for stirring.

I purchased Pasta Boat Dec. 10. So far so go. I love veggies so I first tried to steam both frozen and fresh vegetables. Excellent so far. Then it past the Teen test for spaghetti. Yes it worked very well and in far less time. I told my teen to prepare to eat more pasta as I think of all the pasta dishes I avoid making !!!I also had a feeling it would work for reheating prepared Rotiserrie chicken I bought at the supermarket days ago. I put in the steamer rack and added the left over chicken in large pieces and steamed away. Nice and moist. Added BBQ sauce. Teen approved. I look foward to trying some of the recipies from the book and to continue experimenting on my own. I AM GOING TO BUY THEM AS CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR MY FAMILY ETC. Pasta Boat is sold across the street from my workplace so I do not even need to order, pay S&H etc.

I ordered it on June 2nd and got it on around June 30th. I washed it good and used it and it works great. I used it for my gluten-free pasta also and it worked- may need to cook a little longer- I did add 2 minutes longer on wheat pasta for my daughter and even got to leave it whole the way she likes it . I am glad we have each our own pasta maker so we do not have cross-contamination. But so far my experience has been positive. But be forewarned- it does say takes 2-3 weeks to get it and that is a lie- it takes 2-3 weeks for them to process it and then takes 2-3 weeks to recieve it- so it really takes 3-5 weeks to recieve it
my daughter and her guinea pig lol- he loves pasta- liked it
