Just tilt a little to the left.
Has straining become...well, a strain? This nifty pot accessory fits easily to the top of any 13" pot so you can pour off all (or just a little) of the water away from pasta and veggies, no colander required. Made from stainless steel, it features easy-grip side handles so your hands will be free of the heat. Our favorite part: It cuts down on dishes and lets us keep everything in one piece of cookware. Victory dance.

Life Just Got A Little Easier
I love any product that saves me from washing an additional dish--in this case, a colander. This strainer works great and I can throw it in the dishwasher after using it.
