Is the cooking process the same if I'm cooking fettuccine, macaroni, or other types of noodles?

Each type of pasta cooks for different time with different water levels. All this information comes with it. It's really simple and easy.

It's the same, but there's a pasta cooking chart that comes with it....tells serving size, water level, and cooking time. It's for many types of pasta, spaghetti, linguini, fettuccini, lasagne, macaroni, shell pasta, egg noodles. I like this pasta cooker, unless I'm cooking a very large amount.

Yes. You will find that the accompanying manual covers all of the pasta types and how to prepare.
898177
Yes, the process is the same but the cooking time is different. Check the cooking chart that comes with the cooker for info.

I've only cooked pasta in this pot. You can cook them together, but you will have to see if the vegetable texture is what you like. Steaming vegetables is different than cooking them. They are crisper if you steam them.

Works great. We use gluten free no boil noodles. I place some sauce on the bottom, then place the noodles. I have also found the top layer needs extra sauce since it is no boil noodles.

Technically only 2, thin spaghetti/Angel hair and fettuccine. But you can also make flat sheets for lasagna or ravioli if you have a stamper or press.

If you have a kitchen aid stand mixer you are ready to make ravioli and any other kind of pasta. You can're bet home made pasta. Good luck and have fun.

It depends on what you are cooking, but typically not. Pastas and starches cleanup easily. I had a problem with black beans but I had the heat up too high (started to burn). Recommend not cooking eggs in stainless, but besides that have been impressed with quality and clean-up.

Spaghetti, Penne, and Macaroni are listed with times on the literature which comes with it. The times are fairly accurate but since I have no interest in gluten free I have not utilized the product for it. You would probably have to experiment but that very easy to do. I use mine a great deal because I like Pasta and cook mostly for myself. However, I usually make at least 2 separate servings and can use the second at a later time.

I find there is a slight difference in taste. It is subtle to me and hardly noticeable. However, with the regular noodle you geta stronger taste of the sauce that you are using. This is so subjective, it is hard to describe.

Either way works I generally Sautee mine in whatever sauce I have made. ....much like an aldente pasta

You have full control of the burners . You can boil a large pot of water for pasta or you can simmer the sauce so it won't burn the sauce to the bottom of the pot.

Yes, indeed, egg noodles are no problem, treat them just like spaghetti. The only pasta that has some problems, in my experience, is stuff that floats to the top. Raviolis are a headache. I did some tortellini (filled with cheese) and the top layer seemed to get tough from being out of the water a bit, hit directly by microwaves. Elbow macaroni worried me too but it cooked fine. I think if there were another accessory piece which pushed pasta down below the water and kept it there, it might work better. I have thought to try putting chicken pieces on top but haven't done it yet.

Sorry you have had bad luck with the noodle-if you cook it for three minutes, the slimy seems to go away, and I found that by using a lot as opposed to a little, it works better. I have practically converted from my old pasta life, although on occasion..... I just need the original. And really great sauce helps-dont think of it as a pasta noodle-a friend of mine made pad thai with is and it was incredible-you just need to find what items it works well with, and which you need to use the regular noodles with.

I do mostly breakfasts, while my wife does the Lasagna. I can tell you that its like making Lasagna in any other pan - you learn as you go. Obviously you have to layer the noodles. Is some cases, my wife actually cuts the noodles to fit the pan. Just layer the noodles, meat, cheese untill get nears the top of the pan. Everything cooks great since there are actually 6 edges - YUM.

You probably could but it seems not to splatter all over. It gets condensation on the handles when you cook it. It kinda steams the noodles to cook them. It only takes 3 minutes too cook.

The disks provided makes Linguine, Fettucine, Lasagnette, Spaghetti, Spaghettini, Vermicelli, Rigatoni, Ziti. It also makes Biscotti cookies. I've really enjoyed mine! The family was really happy with the results. I hope you enjoy yours, if you get it anyway, as much as I've enjoyed mine!

It's okay, but if you do a lot of pasta, look for a taller pot. Other notes: this is our go to pot for pasta sauce and soup, you can saute and then add the other ingredients saving a lot of time and pot washing.

The square is kinda the big deal. I'm sure you could use any square bowl if you want. This does have a set time of how long it takes to get the noodles just so, but I enjoy the humorous aspect of having a specific "RAMEN BOWL". It's just for convenience and humor for me.
