a few questions please, and many thanks in advance.... 1. can you also microwave reheat already cooked mac and cheese stored in the refrigerator, in this sistema noodle mug? 2. Do you have to add any liquid to already cooked noodles or mac and cheese...

1. Yes 2. I always add a teaspoon or 2 of water or stock before I reheat. (be sure to open the little vent on the lid before you put it in the microwave) A little steam helps to keep the food tasting fresh. Food tends to get drier as it cools, so a bit of liquid helps. 3. Depends on how full the cup is. That cup holds just short of a quart of food or liquid. I would put it in the microwave for 1 minute - on high, then check it and stir. Then another minute. Keep reheating a minute at a time, checking it and stirring until it is heated to the temperature you want. Take it slow. Each type of food reheats differently.

The product dimensions are: 5.6 x 4.5 x 4.6 inches which holds approx 22 ounces; so if your can is smaller than sistema piece AND holds less than 22 ounces, then yes you could. BUT WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO? With all clamps and the steam vent closed, the mug should be air tight. Test your mug at home first - test several times for caution. Fill mug with water and close up all openings. Turn mug upside down and place in deep soup bowl or pot. 24 hours later, check the bowl/pot. You'll see immediately if mug has leaked. My mug does not leak. After closing my mug, I toss the mug into my bag; even if the mug turns over, still no leaks. But keep in mind that this mug is for m/w cooking and storing, not for carrying.

You are supposed to be able to cook pasta in a microwave rice maker. I've never done it. Maybe if you contact Sistema, they can give you a definitive answer, and even tell you how to do it.

I do not cook the noodles in this. I only reheat them after I have cooked them on the stove. I use this cup to take leftovers to work.

I bought one and love it. I took out the small pan inside (your suppose to set the smaller one in water on the inside) and it worked nicely. I bought a very large can of nacho cheese and placed the rest of the cheese in baggies (food saver bags that were sealed) and placed those bags in a crock pot of water so it would stay warm and I could just cut a corner and pour it into the paragon. Set it on high and it will stay warm. If you have leftovers spoon it out into a container and refriderate. My food saver works wonders for this because the nacho cheese has a shelve life and you do not have to refridgate unless you open the package. I bought one and love it.

This is not meant to be a from-scratch cooking utensil. It is for heating soups and can also be used for reheating leftovers. You would end up with a disaster in your microwave if you tried to cook pasta from scratch in it!

NO! I put the top container in the microwave to heat up some pasta - on 1/2 power for 1 minute and it seared the plastic. It's still useable, but deformed a little. Don't microwave these things.

You literally just fill it with water, drop the uncooked pasta in, pop it in the microwave, and when you take it out the pasta is cooked, and you can drain the water using the top cover. SO yes, it's different then cooking pasta on the stove as it takes less time and it's not a giant pain. ;)

I am very pleased with mug I purchased. I have put it in the microwave several times with no issues. I always put it in with the lid on and the vent open. I have not tried heating anything with tomatoes-in any form, due to past experience with the Tupperware travel soup mug. I love the mug and am considering ordering another item made by the same company. I highly recommend the soup mug. It is all I hoped it would be and more!Carla WilcoxSandy Ut 84070

Darned if I know, never done that. Why would you want to do that? If it's just to re-use, reheat it on the stove or microwave. I don't think I'd try pouring coffee into water reservoir.

Yes you can reheat it. I've used mine about 10 times and it's reheated well each time.

The amount of water to use is indicated by a line inside the bowl (and yes, you can get a measuring cup and add the appropriate amount of water... but what is appropriate?) I just need the one ramen cooker and the amount of water indicated works for me. Even though it looks as if it will "boil over" it doesn't and the handles are cool when I take It out of the microwave. My daughter said her husband used to use plastic bowls, but they were "funky" when he was finished. My family has had a lot of discussion on the correct way to make ramen noodles... this just made it a lot easier to microwave.

You can use both at the same time. We sautéed in a small skillet on one side and cooked Mac and cheese on the other. It's just a bit slower than a regular stove top.

Yes! What would be te use of coffee mugs that wouldn't permit coffee to be reheated in a microwave. In my house, if I can't find a cup, I look in the microwave for one that has been forgotten after reheating.

For those wondering...yes, you can microwave this on med/low heat to reactivate. The time to reactivate is determined by how much you place into the microwave. Be sure to use a microwave safe container and low to medium heat setting. Just monitor and when all is turned back to blue color...finished!

I'm not sure about that, but this is what the product description says. "Just add frozen minestrone, pop the mug into the microwave, and set your steaming soup on the dinner table. The included plastic lid keeps contents fresh and is heat-resistant for microwave use..."
