Default Pasta Express SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

They say a fool and his money are soon parted and that was sure the
case with me!! I cannot believe I was that stupid to buy one of this
Pasta Express kits that contains two large tubes which you are
supposed to be able to put pasta in and cook it. Good luck!

The package came today (I bought from Ebay) and so we decided to try
it. It said for spaghetti, cook it about 15 minutes. We did, but upon
looking I knew something was wrong when the pasta was still standing
up like a flag-pole. I took a piece out and it was hard. I told my
buddy we could save that piece and use as a toothpick! I let it "cook"
another 20 minutes and while it had softened, it was "gluby" and was
all stuck together forming one BIG piece of pasta! The only thing
boiling at this point was my body temp. We just emptied it and threw
the pasta away.

I told my buddy that he could take one of the large cylinders and use
as a large beer mug. I am sure, or so I think, that the smaller
cylinder might cook hot dogs, but I also, initially, thought this crap
would work, so that shows you how much I know. Maybe I could use it as
a goldfish bowl or a planter of some sort. Anyone have any other
ideas? I spent $5 for the crap and $8.50 to ship it. I am going to get
something out of this!!!!

Please learn from my mistake. NEVER EVER buy anything that says Pasta
Express on it and just keep cooking pasta like you always
have--rapidly boil it.

Anthony
