I love having a colander and steamer in my pasta pot. It makes cooking so easy. It is a great product and I highly recommend it.

The 3qt casserole is too tall for a small microwave, but I have the 2qt. and gave the 3qt away. These are my favorite microwave cookware.They give no taste to food and are very sturdy.The small bowls are perfect for one-dish meals.They don't stack completely, which a surprising oversight.

I have two smaller Circulon straining pots, from the "Circulon 2" family. I use them every day, literally, but always have to be mindful of the lids as they do not properly lock. I discovered this the first day, when I dumped my spaghetti into the sink while attempting to strain it. After that, I wore an oven glove to hold the lid on (Circulon recommended not tipping that pot more than 45 degrees to strain, which was ridiculous - that seemed like an afterthought meant to cover their butts. That would've left half the water in the pot, which would have defeated the purpose of having a straining saucepan!).

I wish I had had this pasta insert years ago!No more trips to the sink with a heavy pot of pasta in hot water, no more scalding steam coming out as I pour the water in the sink.When the pasta is done, I just lift the insert out of the pot, hold it for a few seconds to let the water drain out, and then dump the pasta in a serving dish. Fits in my 8-quart stockpot but probably could be used in other sized pots as well.

I first got this and thought "what a waste of money". It just looked like a regular hard plastic container. I put it away and haven't used it until now. I ran out of plastic wrap so I took this out to microwave the vegetables. Wow! It worked great. I added little bit of water and put my cauliflower to steam. Not a single dry spot on my cauliflower and clean up was so easy.

I've been boiling various pasta noodles, at least twice a week, for over 25 years. When I first saw the FASTA PASTA microwave cooker internet demo video, I was a bit skeptical but interested enough to purchase the product from Amazon.com. After using the product three times, I can honestly say that it not only cooks pasta very fast but better, with less mess and energy, than pot boiling the noodles. Just follow the simple instructions and you will have perfectly cooked pasta without having to check it while cooking for readiness. I wish that this product had been invented years ago. My ONLY minor negative comments: 1. FASTA PASTA can only cook up to four pasta servings at one time, which makes its use for a large group impracticle. 2. The water measurement lines are a bit difficult to see when water and pasta is added to the cooker. Adding color to these lines would make them easier to see.
