Spaghetti pans: varieties and features of choice

Spaghetti pan is a very easy-to-use kitchen utensil, there is nothing technically creative in it. As a rule, it has three main components: a high cooking capacity, a lid and a plug-in colander with small openings for draining water. The insertion 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 as easy as shelling pear: collect a pan (insert the inside into the main pan), pour water, salt as you wish and sprinkle any kind of spaghetti or pasta. When they are ready, the colander just enough to remove from the main part, and the water drains through the holes. And you can serve!

Typically, either stainless steel or aluminum is used to make pasta pots. It is easy to look after a stainless steel, in addition, during the cooking process you can use any shovels or spoons without fear of spoiling the bottom.

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

Aluminum attracts by its cheapness and lightness. If cast aluminum, then the dishes will be much heavier in weight. Rumors of harm have little evidence, and when used correctly, the material is completely safe. The only important point is to immediately get rid of the utensil on which the chip appeared: the place of impact becomes a hotbed of bacteria and is poorly washed. Anyway, chipped dishes have a sloppy look.

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

It is very important to note that pasta pans have different shapes and sizes. The bottom of the product is small, narrow cylindrical in order to evenly boil the product, preventing them from sticking together. The dishes are high, inside a colander, the lid covers both cylinders. Pans can have different innovative insertion elements. For example, two inserts at once, as in the company ZEIDAN.

Or with a double boiler insert, like GIPFEL.

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

Perforation eliminates the need to constantly run up and check whether, for example, water has boiled, and constantly open or move the lid - you can drain directly from the holes.

It doesn’t always make sense to buy another pan when you just need some extra part or insert. The market for utensils is huge, and you just need to pay attention to the additional plug-in elements for pots, only indicating the height and diameter of your items.

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

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

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

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

The main “feature” of the design is precisely the integrated plug-in part, which discards the usual practice of draining pasta as a separate manipulation. Everything that is cooked in a liquid can be prepared in such a saucepan.

The characteristics of spaghetti and pasta pans make them quite versatile and allow you to use them every day in cooking a wide variety of foods.

It is worth considering several recommendations:

• such utensils are not distinguished by any kind of topicality - they can be washed both in the sink by hand and in the dishwasher;
• avoid using carbon steel pots on induction cookers;
• optionally use a lot of oil when frying.
