Can you boil noodles and/or pasta in this?

Definately... You set the temp setting on the control knob to about 200... watch to see if it's coming to a boil.. if not scootch it up a bit.. I've found that fior the boiling point its just a hair off... once you have it boiling.. toss in your pasta. Watch for it to come back up to a boil and start timing. I'd keep an eye on it for that foamy boil over you can get with pasta if it's boiling too hard till you are used to it and figure where to set the temp for your unit/location. I happen to have my third pot of soup on... I found the perfect spot on my dial to slow simmer the bones for a good healthy broth... it's a half a hair over 200.... the little light comes on showing that heat is on... it's on for a few seconds, then shuts off.. about the time it's shutting of there are a surge of bubbles, it's boiling.. then they subside.. a couple or three minutes to by.. the light comes on for a few seconds, goes out and I get some bubbles.. absolutely PERFECT!!

Yes, and Kraft Dinner, and just about everything else. I would suggest that you stir the noodles or pasta a couple times during the cooking cycle to keep it from sticking together. And, of course, your time will vary depending on how thick the pasta is and how much you have in the Boat.

Yes, we often cook vegetables in the noodle bowl, as well as reheating foods. It seems like a safe type of plastic, can take pretty high temperatures, and has a vent on top to release pressure. Good product.

Yes, my husband loves to take the big spaghetti pot and cook a whole pound of pasta. It does take awhile for the water to boil but it does a great job of it. I just cooked spaghetti tonight and it was delicious. This is a great product and I highly recommend it.

You would have to cut the noodles since the pan is thinner. They also make a lasagna pan.

I'm not sure, but you probably could, you can make chowders and other soups in it and when I make beans in the oven, the go into a boil. Some one else may have a better answer based on experience.

The cooker has level marks for servings of pasta and the water. It comes with a cooking time guide for different kinds of pasta. It is very easy - add pasta and water and boil - no lid. Use lid to drain pasta when done.

Sorry, Robin. I've never cooked pasta in my pot. However, I don't see why I wouldn't do great. Everything I cook in this pot does very well.

Must add boiling water, but drains and easier to clean than pot that has been cooked in. And frees burner since resting pasta can be set aside. Less kitchen drama.

I'm not sure why you'd want to. It's a rice cooker/slow cooker/steamer, not a pasta or lobster pot. If I really had to try, I'd probably try the steam, or quick rice setting, but either one will probably take quite a while to get there. If I need to boil water, I do it on the stove top. If you're going to try, do not put the water in it without the liner. Put the water in the liner first.

I'm pretty sure you can, since the Vitamix itself can heat up the contents if you run it for about 5 - 6 minutes. And there's a video of a Vitamix representive himself pouring boiling water into it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYqbXoke-F4 At about 14:50.

My guess is that it isn't. I asked that prior to my purchase and didn't get a real answer about it. I bought it anyway, and think it sucks for making the supposed max amount~ which is the only reason I'd bother boiling "the perfect" pasta in the microwave. I need less mess, not more. I can't say that I'd recommend this for pasta, but it might be the best thing ever for steamed vegetables or something else!

On my gas stove my pot gets a rolling boil when I make soup and use medium to low heat. So I think you should be able to easily boil water in it. I still love my pot and use it even when making relatively small amounts of food.

No. Boil pasta like spaghetti in a 6 to 8 quart pot of boiling water until al dente (10 to 11 minutes). Drain in colander. Serve your favorite pasta sauce over cooked spaghetti. If you want to just boil water, get a tea kettle. This 1 1/2 quart saucepan is good for cooking small amounts of frozen vegetables and sauces. Add desired amount of frozen vegetable to the 1 1/2 quart saucepan. Add 1/4 cup of cold water. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes. Hope this helps you.

Yes you can, just added water and anything else you normally do - then bring the water to a boil. cook it as you would in any other pan ... just check it periodically and stir.

sure, have used it to boil pasta and veggies. I would not fry with it though, although I am sure you could.
