    Welcome back stranger!!!

    I don't have one but I just asked Rufus: on Amazon:  Is it suitable for cooking angel hair pasta?
    According to the product description, it can cook angel hair pasta. Customers agree that it works well for angel hair and other thin pastas.

    Now...that doesn't tell you anything, but     I love angel hair and I just follow the cooking instructions on the pasta box and it always comes out fine. Can you just do the same with your new toy?

    Did you buy it.  I double cook pasta. Cook, strain, rinse the starch out with cold water, toss back into clean boiling water for a minute, strain and serve.  Not much of  a fan of angel hair though

    you can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

    Added app. 1/2 box of angel hair pasta, broke it 1/2 and added water and microwaved for 8 1/2 minutes.
    Perfect!
