Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The "one star"-reviewers either had an ulterior motive for giving a bad review or were not able to follow the directions given here and on the package and by Dr. Gundry if you look for it! Yes, they are different from wheat noodles, we know that and don't taste the same at all. Just like there are "super tasters," there must be "super smellers" who can't get past the very slight odor. I put the bag in the sink with a strainer and open it there, letting the water (cold) run over them immediately. The advantages so far outweigh the disadvantages that anyone who does not want to give the time to "learning" how to cook these noodles is just not at all motivated to learn something new. The dry-pan step is crucial in my opinion so if you don't do that, don't expect the best noodles you can have. I do not microwave or parboil (did that once, tried skipping it and saw no difference), but rinse VERY thoroughly then drain and pan-dry which takes a while, but is well worth it. I did "cook" them in the sauce for a short while. Once, I put the bunch on the cutting board, cut them up and proceeded--this is a good step if you want easier to eat noodles or for children. I have used only angel hair because Dr. Gundry recommended that style and I am happy with it. The only surprise for me was that the quantity would not in my opinion feed more than two people who eat an average portion with sauce....but that's fine, too---want more, cook more.
