Make Italian Night a Breeze With a Pasta Pot With Strainer

A pasta pot with strainer ensures that you'll never again have to wrestle with a pot of boiling water and steaming pasta. Anyone who has ever made pasta knows what a challenge it can be to lift the pot from the stove and carefully dump the cooked pasta into a waiting colander without getting splashed with scalding water or losing precious pasta down the drain. A pasta pot with strainer simplifies this step by allowing you to simply lift the cooked pasta from the pot the moment that it reaches al dente.

Once you purchase a pasta pot with strainer, you'll wonder how you ever made pasta without it. In addition to simplifying the draining process, these pots allow you to preserve the starchy cooking water that is used in so many delicious pasta dishes. They are also the perfect size for long strands of pasta, so you'll never again have to break spaghetti or angel hair to get it to fit.

All of the pasta or multi-use pots in Williams Sonoma's collection feature a removable perforated insert, so once the pasta is cooked, you simply lift the insert and allow the water to drain into the pot below. The pot can also be used without the insert for making soups, stews or of course, pasta sauce. Thanks to the perforated insert that allows you to strain the pasta, many of Williams Sonoma's pasta pots are also perfect for steaming vegetables. This workhorse of a pot is sure to get a lot of use.

The Options

The All-Clad Perforated Multipot is perfect for pasta, but it's generous 8-quart size means that it's also a great choice for boiling lobsters, potatoes or corn on the cob. With the insert removed, it's deep enough for canning or whipping soup for a crowd. This pot is also available in a 6-quart size. Additional details:

  • Thick aluminum base for fast, even heating.
  • Stainless steel construction for durability and easy clean-up.
  • Works with induction cooktops.
  • Oven- and dishwasher-safe.

Williams Sonoma's Stainless-Steel Perforated Multipot was designed and developed by the company to become your family's go-to pot. The perforated insert lifts easily and drains quickly, saving busy cooks precious minutes. On its own, the 8-quart stockpot is ideal for simmering chili or sauce, and with the addition of the insert, it makes it a snap to blanch vegetables, boil potatoes and of course, cook pasta. Additional details:

  • Aluminum-core base heats quickly and evenly.
  • Nonreactive stainless steel cooking surface resists sticking.
  • Limited lifetime warranty.
  • Oven-, broiler- and dishwasher-safe.

Wrap it Up

A pasta pot with strainer is a great gift for newlyweds or anyone setting up a home for the first time. To personalize the gift, consider pairing the pot with a few related extras. Any of Williams Sonoma's pasta sauces or signature seasonings would certainly be a welcome addition to the gift. If your recipient is a passionate cook, you might consider adding some pasta tools to the package. A pair of colorful potholders or kitchen towels would also make a thoughtful and practical touch.
