Has anyone microwaved pasta? I followed the instructions-put about 2 inches of water over the pasta and cook it for 3 more minutes than the instructions on the box. Only a few minutes into it it was steaming. I added more water and every few minutes I would seem what looks like steam.

Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
 
My guess would be there was an issue with the vessel...and you shouldn't be opening it up. I used to microwave pasta all the time. Using one of those gizmo's sold to do same. Now that I have a pasta pentola, that is my preferred method. The microwave works well, as long as you set it up properly and do not have a power outage when you don't know how much time was left to cook! Sadly, I used to kick the breaker in the RV more often than I care to admit!

Why do you think seeing steam is an issue?
