Do not cook spaghetti in the microsteamer and then try to drain it in the sink. The holes for steaming are too large for spaghetti... it goes right through.
Take it from me! :eek:
 
but it would work with penne or larger type pasta, right? How long do you cook it?

yeah.. I am sure others would be fine... just the thin spaghetti went right through the holes. I think I did it for 11 minutes and then let it sit for a few.
 
too funny - did all your past go down the drain??? :(
 
BTW, your little girl is a cutie! :) My "little" girl is now 11, in 5th grade!

aww thanks. 5th grade is a great time.. I love that age!
yes most of it did go in to the sink, got caught in he drain cover.
When my husband got home and I told him.. he said, "why did you not use the side with the really tiny holes to drain?"...
did not realize that there were two sizes of the drain. :)
 
LOL....sorry to hear about your spaghetti. Quick question....was there no boil over?
 
I have a "what not to do" with the i-Slice. Don't throw it in a box with stainless steel cookware then not check for it on the bottom of the pot before you put it on the stove. Luckily I caught it before it made too much of a mess on the stove since we were renting a cabin. But I had to get a new one :(
