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 |
