Test
Kitchen #1 Review:
We
prepared a basic lasagne recipe and found that the noodles behaved
nearly identical to traditional gluten pastas. Dr.
Shars lasagne noodles are shaped into 4" squares. They took
approximately 10 minutes to cook to al dente. The resulting noodles
were excellent in both texture and taste. Unlike the other rice
and corn pastas available on the market they held together nicely
and resisted the temptation to disintegrate. Testing further,
we warmed up the left-over lasagne the next day and the noodles
remained firm and intact. Overall we were very pleased with this
pasta.
Test
Kitchen #2 Review:
Our
second test kitchen tested Dr. Schars Spaghetti. We were
very delighted to find this pasta and discover the amazing similarity
between traditional gluten spaghetti and this gluten-free
wonder. In its dry form it looks exactly like spaghetti
in color and texture. We cooked it according to package directions
(11 minutes) and it came out perfectly al dente. We drained it
and made a delightful baked spaghetti. The resulting texture and
taste was perfect.
