Cooking was relatively straight forward and my first batch came out just fine and clean up was easy. I can't say I would cook all my pasta using this, but definitely when I am cooking for one I will use it all the time.
Although this is a 5 star product for me, note that supervision of children is required as there is no 'click' fit to secure the lid. What keeps it tight is kids small fingers, and the smaller serving sizes we tried did indeed work with the little hands. We are able to very quickly cook a second helping if extras were needed, so that raised the star to a 5 as well, despite the lack of secure lid.
It cleans exceptionally easily. I got bright red so it is easy to say "look in the cupboard and get the red thing". They already know what "the red thing for cooking pasta is" after one use. The cooking chart is cool, and I will laminate it for the kids to have a reference, since we keep a number of pasta styles around. The principal is pretty simple though, in determining "size" it coincides with numbers and services and water. This ease of use can translate well into portion sizing when they are older, and combat obesity and other overeating, though I am not sure that was the design for this. It is simple enough a child with supervision and guidance can utilize the fasta-pasta, which makes me feel great about the purchase. It's also always fun when there is something kids can do to help with dinner. I am especially grateful for options that do not involve using flame and gas to teach independent cooking skills.
