Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Of course it's better than using sliced bread to strain your pasta! Our old way was to attempt to hold the lid ajar without losing it, while balancing a heavy pan of boiling water. Plan B was to leave the lid off and pour the pasta (or vegetables) into a colander. This pan has a lid that LOCKS in place to prevents spills or other surprises, yet allows you to pour the hot water out safely. It's also a little lighter, since it's about a quart smaller than our other pan.
