The Nordic Ware Microwave Pasta Cooker is a lidded plastic vessel that cooks pasta in the microwave instead of on the stove. You add dry noodles and water, cook, then drain through the strainer lid, so there is no colander and no pot to scrub. Engraved rings inside help you portion pasta, and handles make it easy to carry from microwave to sink. It suits dorm rooms, offices, small kitchens and anyone who wants one serving of pasta fast. Against a stovetop pot it trades browning and sauce-cooking ability for speed and less cleanup; reviewers like the convenience but note uneven cooking and limited capacity.
