Pasta steamer freed up cooking staff so waitress can actually finish pasta late and sauce it. Has been huge help in our kitchen. The baskets are the only issue we have. It allows for past to get stuck in the actual basket.

I can`t believe that something that is sold as a pasta cooker, equal to boiling water and salt, it actually rusted after 2 month of very light use; to the point of becoming a leaking mess, yes the rust perforated the so called stainless steel and make it impossible to use it.

Thank you for your review, Simone! We are sorry this pasta cooker has not worked well for you. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

Honestly too small and takes too long. Found it easier to just put a pot on the griddle and boil the water and prep. Also the cleanup it a bit of a hassle compared to the output.

When it is working, it is nice but like other reviews have said, the item rusts and we have to replace every few months.

Thank you for your review, Wing! We have reached out in an attempt to assist you but we have not heard back. This unit should be emptied and cleaned regularly. Additionally, if you have hard water this can be harsh on stainless steel and require more care. Cleaning and care instructions can be found in the product manual, under the "Resources and Downloads" section of the product page.

We have had this unit for exactly 1 year now and we are more than pleased. Not a single issue although we need to replace 2 of our baskets as they are starting to get openings. And that is why I came here as I am looking for replacement baskets. We are a very busy restaurant and these baskets get a great deal of use.
