The Lekue Pasta Cooker Can Cook Pasta Entirely in the Microwave

— June 22, 2013 — Lifestyle
If you've always wanted to have freshly made meals for lunch, the Lekue pasta cooker lets users cook fresh pasta without the need for a stove. With a steam container design, users simply have to add water and pasta noodles and place the container in the microwave.

The Lekue pasta cooker eliminates the need for a stove or a pot of boiled water. With a sleek lunch box design, this container is made from BPA-free silicone and plastic that's entirely microwave safe. All users have to do is put room temperature water and uncooked pasta inside the container, seal the container with the steam enabling slit lid and wait for the timer to finish. When the pasta is cooked, the container can easily be flipped and the excess water strained through the lid. Add your favorite sauces and enjoy freshly made pasta right in the office.
