About the Bialetti Pasta Pot:
“Our innovative and colorful “Trends” pasta pots feature a locking built-in strainer that makes draining the water safe and easy. The unique shape of our new pasta pot is designed to handle spaghetti and lasagne noodles without the need of breaking them.
Put away your old colander – simply lock the innovative lid with built-in strainer and drain hot water safe and easy. Made from aluminum, the pasta pot allows perfect heat conduction and the non-stick interior ensures evenly cooked pasta every single time.
This large 5 Qt. pasta pot is available in Purple, Orange and Blue.”
What I thought:
- I really love the color and the shape of the Pasta Pot!
- It seemed to me that my water took longer to boil in my pasta pot than it did in my regular pot. (The second time I used it, I didn’t notice the water taking longer to come to a boil.)
- The lid is SUPER easy to put on but to get it to lock, you have to turn it the “wrong” direction. It just takes some getting used to. The lid comes off just as easily as it goes on.
- I did not lose a single noodle when I drained them. IT. WAS. AWESOME!
The first time I used the Pasta Pot, I made the noodles for my lasagna toss. The next time, I used it to make HUGE shell noodles for my broccoli/ham/cheese casserole. While the noodles didn’t taste any different than usual, draining and clean up was SO much easier!
All in all, I would definitely recommend this Pasta Pot as a staple tool for your kitchen!
