Did you know that the 17th of March is National Spaghetti Day? A heavyweight pasta claw is the ideal serving tool for spaghetti. Spaghetti in sauce or coated with oil is likely to slip off a wooden spoon. Metal forks can only dish up small quantities at a time, and often slice through the pasta. However, a stainless steel pasta server with a generous bowl and prongs will allow you to easily scoop servings of spaghetti, linguine or tagliatelle from a pan. Most servers also have small holes or slots to allow any excess liquids to drain, and long handles to keep your hands away from the heat.
If you tend to cook a lot of pasta or if you have trouble carrying heavy pans, it could be a good idea to invest in a pasta pot.
A pasta pot is a large stainless steel pan with an integrated metal colander insert. The pasta is placed in the pan with boiling water as usual, then once you have finished cooking you can simply lift out the insert and it will drain your pasta straight into the pan below. This is much easier than carrying a heavy pan to the sink and trying to tip it into a colander, particularly if you are cooking large quantities.
