2019 DESIGN FAIL!
FASTA PASTA IS NOW A FAIL!
What once was awesome, now fails horribly.
I love spag. And I don't know how to spell the rest of it so blah! But, this wonderful device may not look like much, but it has made my life so much easier and I eat far cheaper now. $10 can literally feed me for a week or more.
UPDATE
I lost the one I bought before. It was awesome. So I bought a new one this January 2019. It's different. Thicker. The foam comes out the top lots more. Makes a mess. While it still works, and I will continue using it, this version doesn't work as well as the one I had. And the lid doesn't snap on like the older one.
Update: After daily use since I bought my second one, it's started getting an orange tint. The first one never changed color. The top doesn't fit snug. The first one did. If you check the lid and the bottom, and you don't see a "1", then yours will likely fail like this second one is doing. My first one had a "1" on the lid and bottom. This one has a "2" on both parts.
I had to spend an additional $20 on a large microwave platter for this newer one to drip in. Most of the water pours out the sides. The spaghetti comes out rubbery. One end all sticks together.
The first version cooked the same spaghetti flawlessly with no mess. Not version "2".
This isn't what I paid for. And TBH, if I knew where the bottom of version "1" was, I'd throw this garbage away.
FASTA PASTA IS NOW A FAIL!
You'll get your "5-STAR" rating when/if I get what I paid for.
