The Fasta Pasta Story
One day, my wife and I were in the kitchen waiting on a large pot of water to boil for our spaghetti dinner. She asked, “Why can’t we cook pasta in the microwave?” I didn't know the answer and purchased several off-the-shelf plastic containers to learn “why” you cannot cook pasta in the microwave. We learned pouring hot water over pasta simply soaks pasta into a lump of uncooked starch. We discovered numerous reasons “why” pasta can’t be cooked in a microwave with off-the-shelf containers and 15 months later developed Fasta Pasta™ the Microwave Cooker.
In 15 months we cooked approximately 985 lbs of pasta. We burned up 4 microwave ovens, learning, designing and identifying “exact cooking times” for a “serving quantity” and “pasta type” We initially experimented with spaghetti, linguini, fettuccini, macaroni and lasagna. In our neighborhood we were the only people tossing out 20 lbs of cooked pasta on trash night!!
Well that’s how Fasta Pasta™ was developed. Conventional stove-top cooking requires approximately 20 minutes to boil water and approximately 10 minutes to cook pasta while stirring, sampling and stirring to determine when it’s done.
Fasta Pasta™ cooks pasta in 15 minutes or less, depending on serving size, without cook intervention to stir, sample and stir. Fasta Pasta™ is great for making pasta salads, spaghetti, linguini, or lasagna noodles.
We have also tested non-starch based pastas (soy) and they cook perfectly in Fasta Pasta™. Because the cooker’s environment is “engineered” it’s very precise and perfect for cooking soy, rice, corn, and wheat based pastas.
A few unique Fasta Pasta™ points are:
- Fasta Pasta™ is designed so the noodles are continuously in motion during the cooking process and do not stick together.
- The cooker is designed to prevent microwave boil over.
- Cooks all pasta types in less time than the conventional stove-top cooking method.
- Uses less water than conventional stove-top cooking therefore more energy efficient.
- Designed for all noodle varieties ... and Lasagna noodles are cooked un-torn!
- No stirring, sampling or cook intervention during the cooking process.
- Enclosed cooking chart with every cooker specifies exact cooking times for all your favorite pastas.
- Cooks perfect Al dente texture (firm not soft to the bite) pasta every time.
- Fasta Pasta ™ is dishwasher safe. No pots or pans to scrub.
- Measuring holes in the lid, precisely determine exact serving sizes therefore eliminating guessing and unused pasta.
- Water level guides on the container indicate exact amount of water to add.
- Lid also functions as a colander for straining.
