Invert the strainer. Put over pot. Drain. Pasta stays in warm pot. Then add your sauce. (Doesn’t work well with rice noodles or other things that need to be cooled down quickly).

But not with a toilet brush!
Get a metal colander.
I shed a tear and sing In the Arms of an Angel by Heather McLachlan every time I do this. Even for a single noodle.

Roll that beautiful bean footage.
I wish I had a dedicated serving trough. Just have to make do and eat them from the pot they were cooked in.
why were there so many beans in that context
There’s always the appropriate amount of beans unless there’s not enough beans.
Please, my wets…
Is that a toilet brush?
Yeah feel like there is some context needed. Is OP pissing and shitting in that sink?
Have you never seen a bottle brush? If not, get one. It’ll change your life
I prefer my life to be unchanged, thank you very much.
I’ve never seen one that looks like it has been used as a toilet brush and never cleaned. I do love my clean bottle brushes though.
To me it seems like that the lighting is probably making it look more yellow than it is (looking at the white towel on the bottom right).
Yeah, but change it how? Maybe it’ll run away with your partner.
What is this grill in the sink? Is this a thing
It’s definitely not required, but ever since we got one I’ve grown to like it. If you have a ceramic sink it helps prevent scratches. It also helps dishes stay put, like pot lids that normally slide around. Most of all I like it when I put a strainer down. I know the strained liquid won’t touch the sink and flow back into the food, even if the risk was low before.
Also gives a flat surface for pots/jugs to sit on while you’re filling them with water. I have them in my sinks at home and love them.
Tiny bit o’ mac and cheese? 😕
:(
That there’s why I always cook 6x the amount of pasta I need!
Just joking, it’s impossible to judge how much pasta I need.
There is, but it’s not fun or interesting. Just weight the pasta. The change in volume is irrelevant, just make sure it is between 25 to 75 grams of dry pasta. Then you’ll get between 50 and 150 grams of pasta per person. The weight gain is absorbed water.
i usually just make a lot, pasta is good as leftovers so might as well make a ton as the effort is about same
uugh! overcooked pasta
Your side dish said “pasta la vista, baby”.
“Get to de choppah!” they said as they rushed toward the garbage disposal.
RIP Pasta
hey. i have that colander, too
