These were a hit with the kitchen crew at our church. They liked the ease of cooking the pasta in smaller amounts. Lifting a huge steaming pot of water with pasta to pour into a strainer is no easy task! Now we can reuse the water to heat more pasta after the first batches are removed from the strainers, so cooking pasta becomes safer, easier, and less time consuming. Great for spaghetti dinners!

Read More ReviewsSave Water and Time
By draining the pasta right inside the pot, you're able to save the boiling water instead of pouring it down the drain. Reusing this water means considerable time savings since you won't have to reboil after each batch.
Stay Cool Handle
The hollow handles remain cool to the touch, protecting your employees
Draining Hook
Hanging hooks keep the inserts out of the water for quick draining.
Durable Construction
Made of aluminum and stainless steel, these inserts are built to withstand the heat of boiling water.
Perforated Design
Thanks to the perforated design, water drains quickly from the inserts while the pasta remains inside.
Welded Connection
Both the handles and the hanging hooks are welded on, ensuring a tight seal and secure connection.
Customer Q&AAsk a Question
Are the capacities given in the description exact?
The capacity given for this cookware is an estimate and may be off by +/- 10%.
What's the difference between a riveted and a welded handle?
A riveted handle is connected by small metal pieces (called rivets) that are crushed between the handle and the pan body to attach them together. This type of handle is more common on copper and aluminum cookware.
For a handle to be welded, the metal must first be melted and then adhered to the pan body. This creates a strong bond that leaves little to no space in between, so bacteria and other food crumbs can’t collect and cause sanitation issues. Both are long lasting solutions for fry and sauce pan handles because they are durable and can withstand heat.

pasta cooking nice pastas pot stations strainers water action amountsCustomer Reviews
This the best pasta pot I've every had. I used to only use the mesh insert pasta warmers that usually break or rust after heavy usage. These haven't shown any signs of that and they also have a very nice presentation for pasta action stations out on buffets. I highly recommend.
These are nice baskets for cooking a variety of pastas all at the same time while saving space on the stove! Nice for a pasta station!!!
