dangerous
If I could give this product a 0 I would have. Upon poring hot water into the instant pasta cooker, it cracked in several places spilling boiling hot water onto my hands. The cooker was not damaged or cracked in any way before the hot water went in. All I can say is be warned and careful using this product.
not a safe product
I am surprised I am not hearing more comments about this product in regards to the cracking. I bought mine a while back and used it about 5 times and loved it. Then I started noticing a couple of cracks in the plastic so I put it away. Then one day I wanted to make a small amount of pasta so I dug it out. I poured the boiling water in over the pasta and in a few seconds it started cracking more and leaking - I put the thermal thing on it and carefully set it in the sink in case it broke completely
This product is dangerous and soon we will hear of someone suing after getting third degree burns from boiling water after it explodes in someone's hands. I think maybe this product is so cheap that people just figure oh well and throw it away. Also it is basically only good for a small amount of long pasta - I tried pasta shells in it and they just floated and didn't cook right. It's good for asparagus too. If you try to cook a large box of long pasta in it it doesn't seem to cook right. Aside from all that - the fact that it can't handle repeated use with boiling water makes it a poorly tested, unsafe gimmick.
Most of the As Seen On TV products that I have tried are garbage anyway. I just don't buy them anymore.

With all the hype of the Pasta Express on television, and in so many homes, there are definitely bound to have been a spinoffs. This is no acception, with the Pasta Magic. It is a very convient, and simple way for you cook anything from vegetables like brocoli and carrots, to pasta of all kinds like ravioli and egg noodles. It is very convient and easy to use. All you do is put your food into the plastic bin, place the thermal wrap around the bin, pour boiling water into the bin, and within about 10 minutes, your food is done to near perfection. Unlike the pasta express however, you get more than one pasta maker, you have a smaller one for convience for single portions, and for making frankfurters. If you want a nice and easy way to make pasta, than this is the item for you.
