This is large size blanching basket, which is perfect for our kitchen. It fits one portion of noodles and vegetable to be served. The hanger at the back also perfect for resting and draining. Best to clean it with brush, not sponge or scrub, as the scrub fiber will get caught between mesh.

This pasta strainer is excellent quality and works great in my kitchen. Whenever I am making small batches of pasta at a time, this makes it easy. I can easily cook the pasta, strain it, and pour it into a pan with sauce. It is built extremely well and I would highly recommend it

For the price these are unbeatable! And as for the quality they are great! These pasta strainers work extremely well. The only complaint I have is that the handles get very very hot. I put silicone sleeves on mine when using them.

Straining Pasta has never been easier thanks to the subtle yet extremely convenient the hanger hook. The wood handle is also good for minimizing heat when needing to grab with your hands.

Good quality pasta strainer/basket that can be used as a strainer, or to cook noodles/vegetables in. Would be nice if it was more balanced and could stand upright in pots of any sizes.

These baskets are epic. Wooden parts help for you to not get burned when grabbing. We use to boil pasta, broccoli, etc. They are even bendable if necessary to fit into a pot.

These baskets are great for cooking our pastas. We make each order individually and this is the perfect size for us to do just that.

This pasta basket or strainer can hold a good amount of noodles and the holes aren't too big to where the noodles can fall out of it. Good buy

I use this kitchen tool every time I blanch vegetables. You could also use for straining purposes, but I wouldn’t recommend that because it isn’t very wide. Perfect for blanching.

Works great! The wood in the handle doesn't stay nice for long, but the rest of the construction is really nice. The metal framework is very nice and thick.

Sturdily made and nicely designed, this kitchen gadget has proved itself for maintaining an organized kitchen. Putting partially cooked pasta in this and holding it until minutes from needing fully cooked pasta it one less step to worry about. The wood handle allows it to be easily handled and the hanging hook ensures that it will not drop to the bottom of the pot.

This item makes cooking pasta very easy. Simply drop it and pick it right back up. Not sure how you could do pasta without it honestly.

Thank you for the review, Andrew. We're sorry this product did not work well for you. We recommend trying this Town 42925 5" x 7" Stainless Steel Blanching Basket instead!

I bought four of these for pasta and realized they aren't going to work in my pan. However, my cook found that they work great in the fryer. She loves to use them with small orders of curds tucked in with fries. Really inexpensive too.

These things are great! For the price point they are beyond great. We only run one pasta dish during the winter and early spring season so this little guy is perfect. I did have to sand it down just a touch after a couple of months and I assume the health department may have issues with the wood on it but so far so good.
