does the microwave need to be big enough for the pasta n more to turn?

Mine turns fine in my microwave which is normal size I think. The pasta pan is about 12-14 " and is wonderful.

My microwave is large enough, and because it is water boiling to cook the pasta, I would think that was necessary. By the way.. I LOVE my pasta n more!!

I have always used it in a microwave that rotates so I really can't say for sure.
199896
Yes it does. It's quite long and wouldn't fit in smaller microwaves. I wouldn't buy it if yours is smaller than 1.1 cu. ft.

Because you are boiling water to cook the pasta, I would say yes. My microwave is large enough for it to turn. By the way I LOVE my pasta n more.

My microwave turns, but the pasta-n-more is too big to turn in my microwave, but it still cooks fine. It just doesn't turn.

Yes, my microwave is even fairly small and it fits. Agree with LM that it does probably take a bit longer. This item is wonderful!

Yes, it would. I leave mine on the countertop in a corner, and pull it out to use it. The top is not heavy when removing. The buttons on the heating element are: cook time, power, reheat, start and pause. It works well with pre-cooked frozen items as well, and unlike the microwave, you don't really have to stand over it. When the time is up, it dings, and shows "end". At that point, you can set it again or turn it off. Instead of leaning the top on the bracket to check things, I life the top off and set it on a dishtowel when checking the food, or when the timer ends. What I like about it is that things will "brown", unlike the microwave.

Yes, there is a knob underneath the microwave that turns the table inside. Hope this helps.

"standard" microwave will do. it won't fit, if it's too small. capacity should be at least: 13 1/2 in wide by 13 1/2 in deep by 9 in high. hope this helps.

It's usually better when it rotates so that the heat can be evenly distributed but i believe it is still effective if it doesn't. It suggests 5 minutes as the microwave time but since you are unsure, add a few more minutes for peace of mind.

Will the turn table turn? If so, it probably will be fine, but if the turn table doesn't move, I would not use it in the microwave. Does what you are cooking have to be put in the microwave? I know it is quicker. Hope I helped. I actually bought the cooker for my daughter, have used it in the oven and loved it.

I have a small microwave as well, but I've found that as long as it fits inside, it doesn't matter that it is unable to rotate. The pasta cooks just as well. The dimensions should be in the description.

Depends. It won't spin on the carousel - not enough room. So you would have to stop the oven and turn the pan to avoid nasty hot spots when microwaving. However, when using just convection for baking, no turning is needed, just elevate the pan on one of the two wire shelves supplied. We often use both shelves to bake multiple dishes simultaneously.

No. Even when it worked properly, the bottom is an oven. It was handy, but after only six months, the microwave part stopped working, and the company wanted me to bring it to a shop a 90 minute drive from me for return or repair.

Yes. I got the microwave a few months ago. It has a light and fan. No problems with it so far. Very happy with it.

It will require some attention. It's not like a microwave. I have had food get a little burnt from too much heat and too little attention.

Yes - we actually love this appliance. Only negative is you cannot use the oven and the microwave at the same time.

Yes but the 3 quart is too small to put a box of spaghetti in without breaking the pasta. Need the larger one if you do not want to break

It would depend upon if the cabinet is large enough and if has doors do that shut with out touching the front of the microwave. I suggest you measure your space and match it to the size of the appliance.

No, in fact they want you to have open space around it. But don't buy it, it is the noisiest microwave I have eve owned...so disappointed!
