Can i cook instant pasta with rice cooker?

According to the instruction i should use a saucepan but i don't have a saucepan and only 1 rice cooker and 1 big flat wok!..I'm just afraid using wok the water might not cover the pasta and using rice cooker afraid it won't cook! Well,it's instant pasta which i need to dump everything in 1 saucepan..how?Can i cook instant pasta with rice cooker?
I haven't tried it, but my guess is no. This is why: Normally, pasta cooks in boiling water - at a lower temp it just comes out terribly. I'm not sure what ';instant'; pasta is, unless you just mean some boxed dried pasta.



Rice, on the other hand, cooks better is a slow steamy environment. You can't boil rice. Well, technically you can, but it would be a pain to manage the water level and the timing.



So given that pasta is better in a roiling boil that you drain, and rice cookers are oriented toward slow environments that you don't drain, I'd say it'd not be the optimal cooking environment.



You're going to have to work with the wok, or if you have a few dollars, buy a multi-quart pot and a strainer.Can i cook instant pasta with rice cooker?
The rice cooker wont work because it will only evaporate the water so I would use the wok.
