Spaghetti Pots: Varieties and Choices

A spaghetti cooking pot is a very easy-to-use kitchenware, there is nothing technically creative in it. As a rule, it has three main components: a high capacity for cooking, a lid and a plug-in colander with small holes for draining water. The inset part is smaller in size, and all parts can be perfectly adapted for different culinary maneuvers, using both together and separately.

The cooking process is simple: collect the pan (insert the inside into the main pan), pour in water, salt it at your discretion and add any type of spaghetti or pasta. When they are ready, the colander is just enough to take out of the main part, and the water will drain through the holes. And you can serve!

As a rule, for the manufacture of pots for cooking pasta is used either stainless steel or aluminum. It is easy to care for the stainless steel, in addition, in the process of cooking you can use any shovels or spoons, without fear of spoiling the bottom.

The material is heated in such utensils evenly, so the risk of burns is minimal.

Aluminum attracts cheapness and lightness. If the aluminum is cast, then the dishes will be much heavier by weight. Rumors of harm have little evidence, and when used properly, the material is completely safe. The only important point is to immediately get rid of the utensils on which the cleavage has appeared: the place of the impact becomes a breeding ground for the bacteria and is poorly washed out. And in general, the chopped dishes have a sloppy look.

When the pasta is cooked, just enough to tilt the pan, holding the handles, and the excess water simply flows through the holes in the lid. Nothing will fall out of the colander itself. Then you can only put the pan aside for a few minutes, and the remaining liquid will flow to the main bottom. After that, it remains only to enjoy pasta.

It is very important to note that the pans for pasta have different shapes and sizes. The bottom of the product is small, narrow cylindrical to evenly boil the products, not allowing them to stick together. The dishes are high, inside the colander, the lid covers both cylinders. Pans can have different innovative inserts. For example, just two inserts, like the company ZEIDAN.

Or with insert-double boiler, like GIPFEL.

For chefs and amateurs in the stores are different sets with cuts and nets. The grid is designed not only to cook, process vegetables, but also for cooking small pasta.

Perforation, on the other hand, eliminates the need to constantly run up and check whether, for example, water is boiling and to constantly open or move the lid - you can drain it directly from the holes.

It does not always make sense to buy another pot when you just need some extra detail or insert. The market for utensils is huge, and you just need to pay attention to the additional plug-in elements for pots, just to indicate the height and diameter of your items.

There are a huge variety of colander for all types of spaghetti and pasta, the diameter of the available holes varies from millimeter to 1-2 cm. There is even a funny combinational model - a colander + bowl for food.

In this "gadget" you can perfectly wash the fruits and vegetables and easily enjoy pasta.

The producers of this miracle have an enviable sense of humor. Plastic form with holes in the form of a child, a man, a woman and ... a horse? Exactly! A hint of immense hunger. The mold allows you to accurately measure the amount of spaghetti for cooking.

There are more modest options: with simple holes and indications of the number of persons.

The main feature of the design is an integrated plug-in part, dismissing the usual practice of draining pasta as a separate manipulation. Everything that is boiled in liquid can be cooked in such a saucepan.

The characteristics of pans for spaghetti and pasta make them quite versatile and allow them to be used every day in the preparation of a variety of foods.

It is worth considering a few recommendations:

• such dishes do not differ in some kind of top-of-the-line quality - you can wash it in the sink either manually or in the dishwasher;
