Want to read some very interesting reviews on this piece of crap,
check out these reviews by those, who like myself, were stupid enough
to buy this piece of crap! However, all is not lost. I am using the
large tube to store cereal in after I open the box. It was either that
or make a fish aquarium out of it. Go here and read three pages of
irate customer reviews:

Maybe you should have read the reviews before you wasted your money

Well, duh. I pointed those out last time you said you got suckered
by this thing. And here you are reading them after you already
bought it.

Don't ever let anyone accuse you of being smart.

That thing is a joke! I would never consider buying it. How hard is it to
cook pasta? I've never had any trouble with it.

Why all the nasty comments? I do not remember you ever pointing it out
to me or anyone. Whether I read it then or now is a moot point as I
had already bought the junk. I won't make that mistake again.

I thought it might be easy. Unfortunately, I was very wrong.

With all due respects...... I am sure we all saw the commercials for those
things. I think that most of us failed to get sucked into buying one.
Personally, I thought it was a crock. You fell for it. You have been whining
about it for a week.I mean, come one, how much sympathy do you expect for
having been sucked into something that most of us thought was a crock to
begin with?

It pays to read about something before you buy it. Especially if it's an
"As Seen on TV" item. They are usually (but not always) junk.

As I recall, back in the mid-1960s, there was a "craze" for cooking pasta
by bringing a large pot (6-8 qts) of water to a rolling boil, adding salt,
some oil, and the spaghetti, giving it a quick stir, covering the pot, then
taking it off the heat and allowing it to sit for 15 minutes. "Perfect
pasta" some folks referred to it. I tried it a few times and it actually
did produce some pretty decent spaghetti. I suppose the large volume of
hot water and the larger space in the pot for the pasta made a big
difference in the results.

Again... How hard is it to make pasta in a pot? Not hard at all.

I remember seeing the ad on tv and posting about it, laughing.
It's a plastic tube! Just struck me as funny.

Well, there was a thread about the same time as this Pasta Express
thread came up, and I thought maybe this was all about some pasta
machine for actually making pasta. If I knew it was about the tube,
I would have said Forget it!

Live and learn.

You posted about it two weeks ago and you got "nasty comments" back
then, too. In a nutshell, they said it didn't take rocklet scienece
to know it probably wouldn't work or save you any time/hassle.

Are you expecting better responses the second time you bang your
head against the wall?

Look at this way Anthony. You now have a nice jar to store spaghetti
in with a top to keep bugs out. A bit expensive, but now you have a
storage container for dry sketty.
