I used to think quick-cook pasta wouldn’t taste good because the large cuts on the sides would allow heat to penetrate all the way through, making it impossible to achieve an al dente texture.
However, Nisshin Foods’ quick-cook pasta is a patented invention (Patent No. 5726493) that uses a windmill-like design with cuts radiating from the core. This innovative design ensures the core heats up less, allowing the pasta to quickly achieve a perfect al dente texture. In 2022, they improved the design by increasing the number of “wings” from three to four, further enhancing the al dente experience.
This quick-cooking method not only delivers delicious pasta but also reduces environmental impact. The company plans to expand its market to Western countries in the future.
