$4.39.
$4.39. SO
$4.39. SO THAT IS COMING UP A
LITTLE BIT LATER AS
WELL.
WELL.
WELL. STEPHANIE ROBERTS IS
HERE WITH ME.
ALL THESE ITEMS COULD BE
IN THE NOW THAT IS
CLEVER, THAT BECAUSE
THEY ARE REALLY SMART
ITEMS.
ITEMS.
ITEMS. MOST OF YOU OUT THERE
EAT YOUR PASTA OR
NOODLES OR RICE OR
POTATOES OR WHATEVER IT
IS AND YOU GO OVER TO
THE STOVE AND DEVELOP A
BIG GIANT POT OF WATER
SO YOU ARE WASTING
ENERGY THEN YOU WAIT,
HOW LONG DO YOU WAIT FOR
YOUR BOIL WATER TO BOIL?
12 OR 15 MINUTES.
I HAVE A GAS HEATER SO
IT GOES A LITTLE BIT
QUICKER BUT I STILL WAIT
10 MINUTES.
10 MINUTES. THIS COMPANY IS SO SMART
THEY'VE DEVELOPED
THEY'VE DEVELOPED SOMETHING CALLED THE
MICROWAVE PASTA COOKER.
THIS ELIMINATES THAT
BOILING WATER IN A POT
RUTINE.
RUTINE.
RUTINE. >> Guest: YES IT DOES.
AND BY THE WAY, IT IS
THE EXACT LENGTH OF
SPAGHETTI SO YOU DON'T
HAVE TO BREAK IT, THAT
MAKES ME INCREDIBLY
HAPPY.
HAPPY.
HAPPY. AT
HAPPY. AT HOLDEN AND HIGHER ONE
POUND BOX.
POUND BOX. AND WE GO.
THIS IS HOW IT EASY TO
AT THE PASTA IN THE
MICROWAVE COOKER, TAKE
YOUR WATER, COLD WATER,
LOOK, HAND SUBMERGED, WE
DID NOT HEAT THIS WATER.
I POUR IT IN, JUST ABOVE
THE LEVEL OF THE PASTA.
THAT IS ALL THE SKILL
THIS TAKES.
THIS TAKES. THERE YOU GO.
NOW THE LID ITSELF,
INCREDIBLY COOL.
INCREDIBLY COOL. THIS IS WHAT LEKUE IS
KNOWN FOR.
KNOWN FOR. THIS PREMIUM GRATE
SILICONE.
SILICONE.
SILICONE. THIS IS A SILICONE LED.
I'M GOING TO PUT THIS ON.
FIRST THING I WANT YOU
TO NOTICE, DO YOU SEE
THAT LITTLE EDGE?
HOW MUCH DO YOU HATE THE
PASTA SLUDGE THAT BOILS
OVER ON YOUR STOVE?
IT IS HARD TO CLEAN,
LOOKS DISGUSTING.
LOOKS DISGUSTING. WHEN WE COOKED THIS IN
THE MICROWAVE, THE LID
IS PERFECTLY VENTED AND
THE EDGES ARE LIFTED SO
THERE WILL BE NO SLUDGE
IN YOUR MICROWAVE.
I'M GOING TO POP THIS IN
THE MICROWAVE.
THE MICROWAVE. THE COOKING TIMES FOR
THIS ARE GIVEN TO YOU ON
AN EASY CARD, EASY TO
FIND, BUT, IN GENERAL,
THEY ARE BETWEEN FIVE
AND 10 MINUTES FOR PASTA.
USUALLY TAKES 10 JUST TO
GET THE WATER.
SO IN THE SCAMPS I'M
GOING TO GO AHEAD AND
SET IT FOR FIVE.
HERE IS WHERE TO MEET IS
INCREDIBLY INGENIOUS.
INCREDIBLY INGENIOUS. THIS IS MY COOKED PASTA
COMING RIGHT OUT.
I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS
LID I'M GOING TO FLIP IT
OVER.
OVER.
OVER. NOW, IT BECOMES MY
COLANDER, WATCH THIS.
INSTEAD OF BALANCING A
HOT POT, INSTEAD OF
GETTING ANOTHER PIECE OF
EQUIPMENT PASTA SLUDGE
DIRTY, I AM GOING TO
DRAIN THIS JUST LIKE
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. AND
THIS. AND BY THE WAY, YOU SEE
HOW I'M HOLDING THIS
WITH MY BARE HANDS.
THAT WAS MY FAULT,
HOLDING WITH MY BARE
HANDS.
HANDS.
HANDS. THE LID, LISTEN.
WE WILL USE IT AS A
COLANDER TWICE.
COLANDER TWICE. OBVIOUSLY WHAT WE ARE
DOING IS WE ARE
ELIMINATING THE NEED TO
BALANCE THE POT, THE
POTHOLDER AND THE
COLANDER ALL AT ONCE.
AND YOU END UP WITH
COOKED PASTA DONE IN
ABSOLUTE MINUTES.
ABSOLUTE MINUTES. SO, I LOVE THE FACT THAT
NOW, NOW IN THE TIME
THAT IT WOULD'VE TAKEN
ME TO GO AHEAD AND BOIL
WATER, I HAVE AN ENTIRE
PASTA DINNER READY TO GO.
>> Host: IN MINUTES.
AND YOU NEVER HAD TO
HEAT UP THE STOVE, READY
TO GO.
TO GO.
TO GO. SO
TO GO. SO YOU CAN USE THIS FOR
ANY KIND OF PASTA.
IN FACT, LIKE THE SHELLS
TAKE EVEN LESS TIME.
LONGER AND THICKER PASTA
OBVIOUSLY TAKES A LITTLE
BIT LONGER, JUST BECAUSE
THEY ARE THICKER.
THAT YOU ARE ELIMINATING
THAT WHOLE STEP OF
HAVING TO BOIL WATER.
AND IN A PINCH YOU KNOW
A LOT OF TIMES YOU WON'T
EAT PASTA BECAUSE YOU
DON'T WANT TO BOIL THE
WATER.
WATER.
WATER. >>
WATER. >> Guest: I CAN HONESTLY
SAY PASTA IS A HUGE
THING.
THING.
THING. I
THING. I HAVE FOUR BOYS THAT IT
IS A QUICK WAY TO FILL
THEM UP QUICKLY.
IT COMES WITH A GREAT
CHEAT SHEET ALL YOU HAVE
TO DO IS LOOK TO SEE THE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF
NOODLES, HOW LONG IT
COOKS BUT YOU UNDERSTAND
THE POINT, YOU PUT THE
PASTA IN, COVERED WITH
WATER AND OFF YOU GO.
YOU DRAIN IN THE EXACT
SAME VESSEL.
SAME VESSEL. NOW, ANOTHER THING I
LIKE SO MUCH ABOUT THIS,
I DID TRY COLORED
ROTINI.
ROTINI.
ROTINI. RIGHT, LET'S DECORATED.
LET'S MAKE PASTA SALAD.
HERE'S THE THING, THIS
IS CUTE ENOUGH AND
PORTABLE ENOUGH YOU CAN
TAKE IT WITH YOU.
I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO DO
ANYTHING DIFFERENT FOR
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. IF
THIS. IF I'M REALLY IN A HURRY
AND I WANT TO WHIP
TOGETHER A PASTA SALAD
OR IF I'M ON THE GO, YOU
KNOW MAYBE WE'RE TALKING
SECOND SUMMER HOME,
TAKING IT IN THE RV,
JUST WANT TO KEEP DOWN
THE CLUTTER, I AM SO
INTO ELIMINATED -- IN
ELIMINATING KITCHEN
ELIMINATING KITCHEN CLUTTER.
CLUTTER.
CLUTTER. >> Host: YOU CAN ALWAYS
PUT A PIECE OF PLASTIC
WRAP OR FOIL OVER IT AND
THEN PUT THE LID BACK ON
AND IT IS READY TO GO.
IT IS THAT SIMPLE.
THINGS TAKE AWAY
ANYWHERE FROM FIVE, SIX,
10 TO 12 MINUTES, THAT
IS AS LONG AS IT TAKES,
DEPENDING ON THE PASTA.
THINK ABOUT IT.
YOU ARE USING YOUR
MICROWAVE FOR SOMETHING
THAT ACTUALLY WORKS.
>> Guest: THE MICROWAVE
IS AN AWESOME APPLIANCE.
THE REASON THE MIKE
WHITE HAS GOTTEN A BAD
RAP IS NOT WHAT WE PUT
PLASTIC THINGS THAT
SHOULDN'T GO IN THERE,
IN THERE AND NUMBER TWO,
IS THAT IT RUINS FOOD
BECAUSE IT JUST GETS IT
TO A DIFFERENT LEVEL.
LEKUE HAS SPECIALIZED
IN HIGH QUALITY
SILICONE, PLASTICS THAT
ARE SAFE AND THEN
HARNESSED THE POWER OF
IT TO COOK QUICKLY.
I COOKED THIS MACARONI
IN FIVE MINUTES.
IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY
GORGEOUS.
GORGEOUS.
GORGEOUS. AND THEN YOU KNOW WHAT
ELSE I LIKE?
NOT USING THAT BATTERY
BOX STUFF THAT IS FULL
OF 800 DIFFERENT
CHEMICALS.
CHEMICALS. INSTEAD I HAVE TAKEN THIS
. LOOK AT THAT.
I CAN PUT THIS ON THE
TABLE.
TABLE.
TABLE. IF
TABLE. IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THOSE
PICKY TODDLERS, MAN,
I'VE BEEN THERE.
YOU COULDN'T TRICK MY
KIDS ANYTHING.
KIDS ANYTHING. THEY WOULD NEVER KNOW
THAT THIS WASN'T THAT
BLUE BOX MACARONI THAT
THEY WANT.
THEY WANT. >> Host: YOU KNOW I DID
POTATO SALAD MIND.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY PUT
YOUR POTATOES IN THERE
AND BOIL YOUR POTATOES
IN THEIR.
IN THEIR.
IN THEIR. AND I STRAIN THEM OUT,
FOR THE SAME REASON I
JUST DON'T WANT TO WAIT
FOR THE WATER TO BOIL
AND THEN YOU ARE MESSING
WITH IT AND DEALING WITH
IT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. ANY
THAT. ANY KIND OF PASTA WILL
WORK.
WORK.
WORK. YOU
WORK. YOU CAN DO RICE DISHES,
DRAINS, WHATEVER IT IS.
THE KEY TO THIS IS YOU
ARE ELIMINATING THAT
STEP OF WASTING TIME AND
ENERGY OF WAITING FOR
WATER TO BOIL.
I MEAN, LIKE I SAID I'M
LUCKY BECAUSE I HAVE A
GAS STOVE IT HAPPENS
QUICKER BUT MOST PEOPLE
DON'T SO YOU ARE SITTING
THERE FOREVER WITH AN
ELECTRIC STOVE WAITING
FOR YOUR WATER TO BOIL
UP SO YOU COULD BE
COOKING YOUR PASTA RIGHT
FROM THE GET GO AND
REMEMBER, YOU USE COLD
WATER.
WATER.
WATER. >>
WATER. >> Guest: EXACTLY, THAT
WATER IS COMING FROM THE
TAP OF THE FILTER OR
WHEREVER YOU WANT IT.
IT ALLOWS YOU TO BE MORE
CREATIVE WITH YOUR
POSITIVE -- PASTA.
I COOKED THEM IN FIVE
MINUTES BY USING THE
LID, WHICH IS VENTED SO
THERE'S NO POPPING, NO
EXPLOSIONS.
EXPLOSIONS. OH, MY GOSH, THE THINGS
MY KIDS BLOW UP IN THE
MICROWAVE.
MICROWAVE. I AM GOING TO TURN IT,
PUSH IT DOWN AND THEN
USE IT AS A COLANDER
BECAUSE THAT ONLY TOOK
FIVE MINUTES, NOW I'M
GOING TO TAKE MY FRESH
PASTA, I'M GOING TO TOSS
IT WITH PESTO, THROW ON
A LITTLE TOMATO.
TOP IT WITH CHEESE.
>> Host: EVEN A SIX
QUART STOCKPOT IS GOING
TO COST YOU 30 OR $40.
AND THE CONVENIENCE OF
BEING ABLE TO DO IT
QUICK IF YOU ARE AN
EMPTY NESTOR, I MEAN,
THIS SHOW IS DESIGNED
FOR YOU GUYS HONESTLY.
WE'VE GOT SO MANY
WONDERFUL THINGS WE'VE
GOT OUR BOTTLE OPENER
OVER THERE, THINGS THAT
ARE HARD TO DO, WE ARE
MAKING EASY.
MAKING EASY. >> Guest: LOOK AT THE
NEXT AREA OF THIS, TOO.
I HAVE VERY SMALL HANDS
SO I STRUGGLED TO HOLD A
POT WHEN IT IS HEAVY AND
HOT AND THEN STRAIN.
LOOK HOW EASILY THIS
FITS IN MY HAND.
AND AGAIN, BECAUSE OF
THE SILICONE, IT GETS
WARM IN THE MICROWAVE IT
DOES NOT GET BOILING
HOT.
HOT.
HOT. >>
HOT. >> Host: I WOULD STORE
IN THAT AS WELL.
I MEAN COME HONESTLY.
PUT A PIECE OF RAP ON
TOP OR FOIL, WHATEVER IT
IS YOU LIKE TO USE AND
JUST STORE IT.
IT TAKES UP LESS ROOM IN
THE FRIDGE BECAUSE IT IS
ELONGATED.
ELONGATED. NOT EVERY LEVEL, YOU ARE
GOOD TO GO.
YOU MADE A LITTLE RAMEN.
>> Guest: IT IS THE
PERFECT SIZE.
PERFECT SIZE. IF GOT THE VENTED LID.
HARNESSED THE POWER OF
YOUR MICROWAVE, BUT USE
THE RIGHT STUFF TO DO IT.
>> Host: OVER 1300 GONZO
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO
PICK IT UP, ONLY 20
BUCKS.
BUCKS.
BUCKS. IT
BUCKS. IT IS GOING TO MAKE YOUR
LIFE EASY.
LIFE EASY.
