Pros: [This field left blank intentionally]
Cons: Does not cook pasta completely, the clump factor, nasty looking hot dogs, hard to clean.
Summary: I have no one but myself to blame for the Pasta Express being in the house. I am a sucker for those late night infomercials. Be it the SnackMaster, Ronco products, Rocket Chef or any other product, chances are I’ve ordered it and it’s been retired ... read more

Pros: When the lid is on tight, the draining method works great
Cons: Does not perform as advertised. Cylinder is cracking after less than 2 years.
Summary: I bought Pasta Express at Bed, Bath, & Beyond. The ads sounded good--some cooking utensil simple enough that my hubby could use since he does know how to boil water. We also thought it would be great for camping with the self-draining ... read more

Pros: Makes decent angel hair pasta
Cons: Makes terrible spaghetti, horrible macaroni, leaks so can burn you
Summary: A friend owned a Pasta Express and raved on it. “Oh, you must get one! They cook pasta much faster than on a stovetop!” finally convinced me to try it for myself. Pasta Express is an ‘As Seen on TV’ ... read more

Pros: Small footprint.
Cons: It simply does not work.
Summary: I love pasta. What could be simpler, and in this economy, cheaper to make for your family? A dollar's worth of spaghetti, two bucks worth of sausage, and a jar of Ragu for two bucks. And, the great thing about making spaghetti; it's ... read more

Pros: None, unfortunately
Cons: It doesn't work and it's a hassle to use.
Summary: I'm thrifty by nature but I also love kitchen gadgets. I stare dreamy eyed at every cool product I see being advertised on TV. I want them all but my thrifty side forces me to wait until the price drops down from "Just $19.95" to preferably less than ... read more

Pros: NO MESS, NO FUSS, NO COLANDER NEEDED.VIRTUALLY CLEANS ITSELF. PERFECT PASTA.
Cons: None. (Make sure to use boiling water).
Summary: I notice that most of the reviews for this product are highly negative. I'm glad that I didn't read the reviews before purchasing our Pasta Expresses, because I love the ones I have. I purchased three, on the recommendation of a clerk at Linens 'N ... read more

Pros: I returned it and got my purchase price back!
Cons: it does NOT work
Summary: This gets one star ONLY because you CAN'T GIVE NO STAR. Read the other reviews and DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT even if you can get it for next to no money. That's all you need to know so you don't have to read any more of this review but you ... read more

Pros: No mess, easy to clean, perfect for egg noodles
Cons: Does not cook Spaghetti, Angel Hair Pasta or Fettucini thoroughly
Summary: I bought the Pasta Express a couple of month ago because I saw the commercial on TV. I also have a electrical water boiler so I thought it would be nice not to have to clean up any pots anymore after making pasta. What I found out fast, though, is that ... read more

Pros: Keeps food warm, but you can do that in any relatively airtight container, like Tupperware.
Cons: This product does not produce 'al dente' pasta, as the manufacturer claims.
Summary: This is one of those "As Seen on TV" products that eventually made its way into the mainstream retail market. Originally costing about $20, you can probably find this product in stores like WalMart for around $10. There's a good reason why the prices ... read more

Pros: can store uncooked pasta in it
Cons: dangerous, energy and food wasting, does not work as advertised
Summary: I love getting to visit my fabulous mother-in-law. Every time I get to visit her out in Arizona, she always has a new kitchen gadget to play with and possibly do lasting harm to yourself with. This always provides hours of ... read more

Pros: None that I've noticed.
Cons: Doesn't cook properly; can't stir product during cooking. Can burn yourself if the lid pops.
Summary: I saw this at Target on sale for $9.95, so I decided to buy it. Sometimes I'm a sucker for TV commercials. I love macaroni salad, so I thought I'd try it on that first--cook the pasta (in this case, shells) and see what happens. I let the water ... read more

Pros: Cooks long spaghetti decent enough. Easy clean up. Nifty strainer top.
Cons: Takes longer to make than conventional methods. Cooks uneven and inconsisently.
Summary: After commenting to my wife that we should by one of these after every commercial on TV, I saw one of these for sale at Linens-N-Things for $9.95. We had a gift certificate, and though "what the heck". On TV, they show how anyone can effortlessly ... read more

Pros: Easy way to cook vegetables
Cons: Too much work
Summary: What a wonderful idea. When I first saw the Pasta Express advertised, I thought to myself that is a great idea. It would free up one of the burners on my stove. I would not have to use so many pots and lids. I would not need a colander. Just cook, pour ... read more

Pros: I love this thing!
Cons: No cons!
Summary: This is a time saving gadget! And so easy. I have one of those plastic water pitchers that sits in an electric base -- for tea and any time I need to boil water. It is always out and by the stove. Fill to the top, turn

Pros: Quick, easy, eliminates chance of scalding with hot water when straining
Cons: Have none! Mine was a good experience!
Summary: I have to admit I was skeptical about it working! But I took a shot at it for a buck! I got mine at a closeout discount store, too. After I got it, I was afraid to try it, but was surprised when I did! Put hot water in

Pros: It actually works for me.
Cons: none so far but never used more than 1/4 lb
Summary: I got mine at the closeout store for $1.99 and love it! Granted I only cook for myself and never used more than 1/4 pound but my macaroni and spaghetti comes out great. The water boils in my kettle quickly and I've heated the PE with hot tap as

Pros: Easy to use.
Cons: Water cools off quickly and pasta doesn't get fully cooked.
Summary: I bought one of these recently because I was enticed by the TV ads which made it look like a really fantastic product. My daughters and I tried using it to make spaghetti. The water cooled off just about as soon as we poured it into the container and the

Pros: Looks kinda interesting, stores pasta, bought a tea kettle
Cons: Cooking pasta, vegetables, anything else
Summary: I spent about $6 for this product, going against my better judgment and previous experiences of "As Seen On TV" products. Combined with the loss of good pasta, which thankfully most will only discover once, the Pasta Express is an enormous waste of

Pros: not sure if there is any. good for use as a coin-bank or flower vase.
Cons: hot-soak food so be your own judge if it cooks your food properly.

Pros: It makes an excellent coin bank.
Cons: It doesn't work as claimed.
Summary: What a disappointing product! The Pasta Express doesn't live up to the TV claims at all. The pasta doesn't cook, even when you double or triple the cooking time. It doesn't clean easily and just becomes another piece of clutter in the
