The pasta boat (as seen on TV, available at Walmart & Walgreens) is one of the best purchases I have ever made. No boiling water or boil-overs or over/under cooking. Just put it in the nuker and forget it until time to take it out.
I hate mushy pasta, this makes it just the way I like it, but you can adjust cooking time to suit your own taste. When finished nuking, I stick the lid on the boat and drain the pasta through the holes in the lid.
It also has a rack so you can use it as a vegetable steamer. That works great, too. This probably sounds like I work for Pasta Boat or sell them or something, but I don't. For me it is a great product that really does work, and saves me a lot of extra time and work.
