When you're ready to eat pasta, you want it ASAP. Instead, you have to wait a while for the water to boil, then toss in your pasta and wait for that to cook before you can actually dive in. Well, there's a handy time-saving solution. It's called the Fasta Pasta Microwave Pasta Cooker and it actually gives you perfectly cooked pasta straight from your microwave. Right now, you can grab this ingenious tool for $17, down from $28 — that's nearly 40% off.
Those floppy headrests you're sleeping on aren't doing your neck any favors, but you can snag this plush, supportive pair for over 75% off. They were designed to be comfy whether you're a stomach, back or side sleeper, and the cooling cover and moisture-wicking material help prevent things from getting sweaty if you run hot.
Why keep tripping over bottles when these handy shower shelves exist? This top-selling set claims to hold up to 40 pounds (that's a lot of gel, shampoo, conditioner and emollients) and comes with five storage racks in different sizes for all your bathtime essentials. All you need to do is apply the included adhesive to stick 'em on the wall.
You'll be so relieved you had this portable air compressor in the trunk when you realize one tire's looking a little floppy. It takes just minutes to pump it back to normal, and you can do all four on a single charge. You can also use it on b-balls, bike tires and balloons. Snag it while it's 75% off.
Yard in need of some heavy-duty pruning? This small but mighty chain saw is powerful enough to take down tree branches, yet weighs under 2.5 pounds. Plus, it's cordless for even more convenience. Overgrown shrubs, you've met your match.
You might not be experiencing freezing temperatures just yet, but if and when those overnight frosts occur, you'll be glad you thought to protect your outdoor spigots ahead of time.
These top-sellers are like socks for your faucets, acting as insulators to help prevent your pipes from freezing — every homeowner's nightmare. This is as low as we've ever seen this pair on sale for, and over 2,000 were purchased in the past month, so we're not too far off...
Ready to trade your soggy bath mat for one that dries quickly, stays in place and looks stylish? This nonslip top-seller is made of an ultra-absorbent material that'll soak up the water from your feet as quickly as it promotes evaporation to help reduce odors.
Have we ever seen it listed for $200? Not even close, but this is still a worthwhile deal considering it's reached $50 this year.
Whipping up a pasta dinner is as simple as dumping pasta and water in the Fasta Pasta, popping it in the microwave and going about your life until it's done.
You can't really put a price on convenience — and this gizmo helps you cut cooking and thinking time making dinner time a breeze. On top of that, at nearly 40% off, this is the biggest discount we've seen for this kitchen problem solver in over a year.
The Fasta Pasta Microwave Pasta Cooker will churn out perfectly cooked pasta in about 12 minutes — basically, the same amount of time it would take your water to start boiling.
It's also so easy to use: Just measure out your water, toss in your pasta, cook it and drain it, all within the container. That's it! You'll be eating pasta in a fraction of the usual time.
But...how? The Fasta Pasta has a specialized reservoir design that lets water easily circulate around your pasta, cooking it to perfection while you're off doing whatever you please (i.e. not sitting there waiting for a pot to boil).
Once you're done, just toss the whole thing in the dishwasher.
The Fasta Pasta Microwave Pasta Cooker has an army of 3,600 devoted fans who rave about how easy cooking pasta is with this gadget.
"No more carrying around pots of boiling water to drain pasta!" a five-star fan said. "This is super to use and very efficient. No more trying to fit lasagna noodles in a pot too small. It is so much safer to pick up the box of cooked noodles. I bought one for an older friend who is getting older and not as strong as she used to be."
A fellow fan wrote: "I live by myself and it can be difficult to cook for one. This microwave pasta cooker is great! I have used it for a couple of months and it is so much simpler to use than boiling gallons of water and pasta the old-fashioned way.. This is much quicker and easier, especially for one or two people."
"I could not believe how great it was to not have hot steamy water boiling in your kitchen," another rave reviewer wrote. "Then to have to move the hot pot to drain it. I am disabled. Lifting and standing are very difficult for me. Using the lid to drain is awesome. I can do all of this by myself!"
Some shoppers say this gadget has quirks.
"No complaints, except that the 'moat' around the periphery of the inside bottom necessitates digging spaghetti & such out of there," shared one shopper. "Not difficult but mildly annoying."
"I love how easy it is and didn't boil over and make a mess," another shopper wrote. "[I] only wish with pasta was a little bigger if making a big meal. But for 2 people it's perfect."
