MyLifeUNIT Spaghetti Strainer Spoon, Stainless Steel Food Strainer Noodle Strainer with Handle 4.4 X 4.6 X 14.7 inches

Great product

Good capacity; Nice long handle; hook is far enough up so whole container can be submersed in the right size pot.

It is great for small batch pasta and I had breakfast with small batch paparadell and popped into dishwasher. Voila!

It hasn't been used yet, but it appears that it will serve a good sized portion of pasta.

Got this instead of getting a microwavable container for ramen. You just boil a bot or use an electric kettle, put this in the pot with that water (ramen in this strainer). Works great.

Why it took me so many years to purchase one of these was just silly. I've seen them used in Italian restaurants for decades, mostly for fresh made individual pasta cooking. My holdout was likely that I'd do it when I made fresh pasta, which to date I haven't done, but soon.In the meantime I did the big pot of boiling salted water method for all pasta varieties. Delverde is my go to dried pasta of any shape. I hate wasting H2O, and using that much water for a few portions of pasta FINALLY got me to getting this basket. No, I won't use it for long noodles, but it is perfect for dried pasta nests, ravioli, and any kind of dumpling; pastas that don't need to be swirled in a larger space to avoid sticking strands.Yes, so just gently shake the basket, and/or use a wooden spoon to move the product around till it's to the point where no more stirring is required. When perfect, empty pasta into the sauce for final cooking. The pasta water is standing by to add to sauce as needed.

I plan on using this to seal my pint canning jars as I make small amount of homemade jam as my fruit trees produce. I won’t have to use large amounts of water and therefore it won’t heat up the kitchen as much. Thanks for your product.

Easy to use and easy to clean. We use ours to heat our Tri-tip we’ve thinly sliced in the Au Ju when making French Dips. So much easier than trying to make sure all the meat comes out of the sauce pan.
