*PastaCooker is much faster than making pasta on the stove-top because you don't have to wait for the water to boil. The pasta cooker is 3-in-1 with the pot, strainer, and mixing bowl. Once you cook the pasta and drain (orzo is too small for draining), you can pour your sauce directly into the the bowl for serving. For cleanup, there will possibly be some water residue in the microwave. PastaCooker is dishwasher safe.

*Testing conducted on 800W microwave. We recommend you follow the packaginginstructions and adjust to your microwave and tastes.
