How well does it work for eating spaghetti?

If you are a twirler then prob. not. But like me if you are a scoop and slurp then not to bad.But for other pastas like macaroni it just fine. Plus I find it works just fine for sticking mostmeats as well. Raven

Don't expect five star Italian restaurant fork-and-spoon perfect spaghetti spirals around your fork, but you can probably expect small amounts of noodles to come up with every stab of the fork part.

it is mostly a spoon with some spikes, so that pasta will slide out, so you need to eat it chopped

My experience has been that the double cutter that came with the machine makes totally square pasta that I couldn't ever get to cut cleanly and this spaghetti attachment makes pretty close to round spaghetti (just a little bit flattened). The spaghetti it makes is about the same size as the square pasta the included double cutter makes or is maybe a tiny bit bigger.

It's working well with peanut MM's. I tried jelly beans and skittles and it vend a really large quantity even when you adjust it.

No problem so far. Maybe if you tried to press water out of the spaghetti but simply draining has not caused a problem.

If you are cooking pounds of spaghetti then yes. I have cooked 10 pounds or more for a fundraiser and used it. Some will go through the holes while cooking but most will go on the plate.

I not familiar with that kind (or brand?) of spaghetti, but I have used my cooker a few dozen times for several brands of grocery-store spaghetti, in quantities appropriate to feed one or two. I load the cooker with the right amount of spaghetti (the top has a hole-type serving-size gauge), fill the cooker to its correspondingly-marked level with water, put it in the microwave for ten minutes a max power (with the top removed, as directed), take it out, pop the top back on, drain the water out through the top's grid, and plop the spaghetti onto my plate. Like the others providing answers, I have been uniformly happy with the results. The spaghetti in fact does not stick together, perhaps because the cooker's bottom is shaped to create a slightly-elevated small "shelf" at each end, so the spaghetti has water beneath it as well as around it throughout the cooking. I recommend the product, which also cleans up readily by hand, but can also survive in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Yes, it would work fine for pasta, especially for bigger sizes of pasta, like penne. Although it's possible that small pasta, like orzo or small shells, might fall through the holes a bit.

Spaghetti for 2 is easy and frees up a burner on the stove, I have never tried this with boxed mac and cheese, the pasta by itself woudl be easy don't know about the cheese

Just one If I remember right. I bought two to use different kinds of pasta. I don't find them convienent. It's hard to fit long spaghetti in them.

Yes Spaghetti for two even 3. Haven't tried mac & cheese, but I did do egg noodles, they were okay not as good as spaghetti. I use mine all the time it's so easy to make more if you haven't made enough at first. So much easier than boiling and draining.

Yes, it could work for cooking pasta. The holes might be a bit larger than some thin spaghetti, but it would still work pretty well.

Either use less pasta or use more water, and stir it mid-way. This gadget is great for getting the pasta done quickly, and it's wonderful to not have to wash the huge pot I was using before. I use it a couple of times a week, and am happy with it.

I can slice the vegetables very thin, but as far as using it for pasta, it just won't work.... Haha... No, I have made lasagne by making cucumber and zucchini into thin strip and using it as pasta. This works very well for that recipe.

first it is make with vegtable pasta which is healther than your regular white pasta and the cheese is protien... its very good for kids.. I always keep some cooked in the refreg for something for my grandson to pick at and eat ... it is very low in sodium and trans fats.. I have been using this for a long time and believe it is a very good product.

I use this to cook rice and quinoa and my daughter uses it to cook dried beans. It can be used as a slow cooker, so you could heat soup or baked beans in it, but you'd have to be very patient. The microwave would be much quicker. I doubt you could do spaghetti; I don't think it could boil water in a timely fashion. This is one of the few rice cookers that can properly cook brown rice. I'd recommend re-gifting it to a rice eating family.

good price, the fettuccine cutter is the one you want. The spaghetti cutter doesn't really work that well.

I've been using it for awhile and found that it takes too much muscle to use on vegetables other than zucchini. It does string it to thin spaghetti but you constantly have to adjust the vegetable and crank it slowly.
