Colanders & Sieves

Draining sounds like the simplest step in the kitchen until you are carrying a heavy pot of pasta or a tub of crushed tomatoes and the colander is the wrong shape for the job. Getting the water out quickly, without losing what you are keeping, is most of what these tools do.

For pasta and passata, the Italian stainless colanders come with long handles or shorter handles, both sized for tipping a full pot without steam coming back at you, and there is a pasta scoop colander for lifting portions straight out of the water. In plastic there is the Italian pasta and multi colander, the Allegra Smoky, and a 25 cm Ferrari colander with a metal handle. For finer work, the wood frame sieve with stainless steel mesh is the one for passata and anything you want to pass through rather than simply drain. The sink vegetable basket at 29 x 19 x 9 cm with a sliding handle rest sits across a sink for washing, and the stainless steel basket steamer handles vegetables over a pot.

Worth remembering, keep a mug of the pasta water before you tip it out. That starchy water is what brings a sauce together, and once it is down the drain you cannot get it back.
