"What a wonderful idea!"
I was a little doubtful before I tried it. I'd attempted to cook rice and pasta before in a microwave and had ended up with a hugely messy microwave interior. This little gadget cooks all sorts of pasta wonderfully. It's so much easier, too. Self-draining, no need to haul out a metal pot and colander or strainer. I wouldn't be without it now. One caution, though - check the interior size of your microwave. This thing fits well in mine, and rotates easily. But some microwaves are smaller inside and it might not work so well.
