Pasta Timer app review: enjoy perfectly cooked pasta each time

Introduction

Thanks to this next app you'll never have to worry about pasta that is over-cooked or just as bad, under-cooked and crunchy. The Pasta Timer app can be used on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone as a voice-over countdown alarm that will let you know when your pasta is almost finished. The app notifies you a few minutes before the end and don't worry: a large variety of pasta is supported and more are always being added.

Perfect Your Kitchen Skills

Here's a chance to perfect your pasta cooking skills with no effort on your part; just let the Pasta Timer take care of the timing issue for you. You can go through the list of supported pastas, all of which feature a photo in case you're unsure, then hit the start button when the water is boiling and ready to go. You'll see the timer start to countdown from there. The app will even remind you to add the salt to the water before dropping in the pasta. You'll get a notification a few minutes before it's finished so you're ready to drain it when the timer goes off.

The app requires iOS 7.1 or later to use and doesn't yet have any customer comments or a customer rating. In its very recent update some minor changes were made, three additional pastas were added to the list, and you can now send in pasta types to the staff that are missing from the list.

A Simple Tool

The Pasta Timer app couldn't be more user-friendly and simple as this was created with everyday people in mind who are looking for a quick and simple solution. The app comes pre-loaded with 25 different pastas but you can also add in your own pasta complete with its cooking time and picture, then add it to your list. Speaking of your list you can arrange the pastas in the list order that works for you so the ones you use the most often are at the top. Rather than just a visual alarm, the app actually uses voice countdowns that will warn you when the few minutes are left.

A cute feature the app includes is a "Share Button." This is a social tool that alerts your guests that the pasta is just about ready. It’s a fun little feature to use at your next dinner party. The user interface is modern, smart, and extremely simple.
