Lor:

There isn't a single thing in my house that is not MICRO READY.

I have micro pans, I have EVERYTHING that you can cook something in the microwave with. I have covers, etc

But this is my first Pasta container, especially made to cook pasta in.

That's the only thing I didn't have.

What I did buy a long time ago was this big Pasta Pot with built in Strainer.

What a pain in the butt that thing was. Had to lift the heavy thing full of water, place it on the stove, AND IT TOOK FOREVER FOR THE WATER TO BOIL, because there were two pots actually, One was the huge strainer thing inside the pot.

Oh my god, how heavy that thing was.

So if this thing works, and I never have to lift a pot of water again, WELL, ALAN CAN MAKE HIS OWN PASTA, now can't he???

Ha!!!! lol
