3.3 Cooking Pasta (Fig. D):
To cook pasta, use the Base, Shielded Colander (optional for
draining and serving) and the Shielded Cover (optional for serving).
• Place pasta in the Base, respecting the maximum quantity,
indicated by the indentation in the Base (amount must not exceed
500g of pasta). Pour water to the “MAX” line (see Fig. D1) located
under the Cooking pasta logo ( ), regardless of the amount of
pasta cooked.
• You may add salt to the water to enhance the flavor of the pasta.
• Cook pasta without covering the Base; microwave at a maximum
of 900 watts (see Fig. D2) for 30 minutes maximum.
• Never add oil, butter or any other fat to the water as it would
damage your product.
• The microwave cooking time at 900W is twice as long as the
cooking time indicated on the pasta package:
• For example, if your pasta package recommends a cooking time
of 8 minutes, you would cook the pasta in the Base for 16 minutes.
• You may need to adjust the microwave cooking time to a few
minutes less or more, depending on your personal taste, your
microwave setting or the type of pasta that you are preparing.
Never exceed 30 minutes of cooking time. (see Fig. G)
• Remove the Base carefully from your microwave oven by safely
holding its handles with both hands and using oven gloves. Use the
Shielded Colander for draining (see Fig. D3) in the sink.
• Once the water has been drained, place the Shielded Colander
filled with pasta in the Base and cover it with the Shielded Cover to
keep the pasta warm before serving.
• For best results when Cooking pasta:
• Always check that there is enough water in the Base before
microwaving.
• Do not cover while cooking in the microwave oven as it would
cause water to overflow.
• For best results, it is recommended not to stir the pasta during the
cooking process. Should the pasta stick together after cooking,
drain it and rinse it with hot tap water right away.
• We do not recommend cooking pasta with cooking times of less
than 6 minutes or more than 14 minutes, or fresh and instant
pasta. Their taste and texture may not meet your expectations.
