how does this product do with cooking gluten-free pasta?

Spaghetti, Penne, and Macaroni are listed with times on the literature which comes with it. The times are fairly accurate but since I have no interest in gluten free I have not utilized the product for it. You would probably have to experiment but that very easy to do. I use mine a great deal because I like Pasta and cook mostly for myself. However, I usually make at least 2 separate servings and can use the second at a later time.

Yes, it could work for cooking pasta. The holes might be a bit larger than some thin spaghetti, but it would still work pretty well.

I always use a Ceramic pan and an oven thermometer when baking anything gluten free, it can be very temperamental.

Yes, very easy and foolproof. For each person you are feeding, you need 75 grams (gr.) all purpose flour, 25 gr. semolina flour (or total of 100 gr. all purpose flour), 1 egg, 1/2 tsp. olive oil, & dash of salt. Proportions are extremely important. 1. Sift flour. 2. On clean surface (large cutting board or counter), place flour and make a well. 3. Crack egg in well and add the olive oil. 4. Using clean hand, start mixing the egg/oil and grabbing flour in a circular motion until you have a ball. Using both hands knead dough until it has a smooth elastic texture (about 5 mins.). 5. Place kneaded dough on very lightly floured plate and cover. 6. Let rest for 30 minutes (this lets the gluten relax). 7. After 30 mins., lightly flour your pasta maker and set at 0. 8. Cut a wedge of dough, flatten and lightly flour. Start passing through pasta maker. For linguini, I go up to setting 8. I have used this recipe ever since I returned from Italy that I no longer use dried pasta. It takes about 10-15 mins. to measure, mix and knead. And about another 15 mins. to roll out pasta. Boil in salted water for 4-5 mins.

The problem I can see, is that fresh pasta would tend to stick to itself, and that's why you use a lot of boiling water during cooking to prevent that. This doesn't use much water and it works fantastically for dry pasta, you could try it for fresh, but I don't recommend it.

Yes, I'm a food scientist they work for the gluten free as well. What it is doing is changing the heat distribution allowing the batter act accordingly to make the outer edges react at the same time as the middle. That is how it is able to make it come out flat.

I have used this product with no gluten reaction. I like this product. It would be up to you. I'm gluten intolerant, I do not have celiac decease.

The same thing happened to me when I first used it. I just reduced the amount of pasta in the cooker and it comes out fine. I do 2 servings at a time.

Sorry, I have yet to find a GF pasta that converts to pasta salad. They all seem to resolidify when chilled.

Yes just substitute into any recipe. The only thing I made that wasn't great was pizza, but I had the same problem with a flour recipe. This is the best gluten free flour. You will b amazed

There are recipes for noodles in the recipe booklet. I prefer to make my pasta dough in my food processor. Haven't tried theirs but I'm sure it would be good. All the bread Ive mad in my machine is wonderful including the gluten free ones!

Works great for rice without the basket. Pasta is tricky, with or without basket, make sure it has room to roll with the boil, or it will stick together. I use it mostly for steaming veggies with water level below the bottom of the basket.

I cook pasta for me and my son, with some leftovers. I think it would be okay with smaller amounts of water and pasta, I say go for it. I love the easy drain design, use it for browning ground beef and pouring the grease off as well as for pasta.

I have used the item twice and I felt like the pasta was cooked adequately but it is different that free boiling it. It seems to clump together. I am going to try it on small tube pasta and shake it a little being careful not to burn myself!

We only use it with no-boil noodles and have had no problems. Yummy lasagna every time!
