It's a hassle to boil pasta for one person, isn't it? It takes time to boil water, and considering the time and effort to wash the pot, it is easy to give up saying "I don't have to eat ...".
Therefore, I tried "range cooking container for pasta", which allows pasta to be boiled without boiling water! Purchased at NITORI, the price is 285 yen (excluding tax). It would be very convenient if you could boil the pasta properly with this, right?
NITORI's microwave oven for pasta
How to use
Just put water and pasta in a container and heat it in the microwave. The container has a lid, which is used to measure the amount of pasta and to drain the water. Not used when heating.
It's a simple case
First, add water to the scale of the container. 500cc for one person, 700cc for two people.
There are scales for one person and two people
Weigh the amount of pasta in the measuring hole on the lid and put it in a container with water. The hole is perfect and weighs about 100g (3.53oz) (for one person).
This hole is sober and convenient
If the pasta is too long, fold it in
Sprinkle some salt and put it in the microwave at 500W. The boiling time is set to the time indicated on the pasta package for one person plus 5 minutes, and for two people plus 8 minutes.
The pasta used this time is standard 7 minutes, so I heated it in the microwave for 12 minutes.
Shake the salt
To the microwave
After removing it from the microwave, close the lid and discard the hot water from the hot water outlet.
Close the lid tightly and be careful of burns
Oh
At first glance, it looks like it's boiled properly. Serve on a plate and entwin with pasta sauce and you're done!
Sprinkle with retort pasta sauce
It's done!
When I try it ... Yeah! Normally delicious! It is a crispy, crispy and chewy pasta that is neither too hard nor too soft, and does not leave a core or become soggy. While heating in the microwave, I didn't take it out and mix it at all, but I was able to boil it without any problems.
It's easy ~ this
What about short type pasta?
I also tried short pasta such as macaroni and penne, and it boiled without any problems! Just like long pasta, pour water up to the line, do not cover it, and microwave for the specified time + 5 minutes.
Short pasta too
Easy
Delicious
What about raw pasta?
How about raw pasta? When I tried it with Fitcine, it was boiled without any problems! The procedure is exactly the same as for dried noodles. We have made delicious fresh pasta that is chewy.
Raw pasta too
Yes completed
Carbonara!
Since it is not stirred in the middle, the quality such as texture may be slightly lower than when it is boiled in hot water, but it is not noticeable at all for normal eating. It's easy to wash, so it seems to be useful for solo meals on days when you live alone or have no family!
