To summarize, you can have the colander in the sink and know where it is placed and pour the contents of the pan into the colander, you can get a pasta pot that has a liner with holes in it that you just pick up and the liquid remains in the pot, you can get a lock lid pot or saucepan from one of the catalogs with equipment to help people who are blind/low vision or a specialty store for cooking or amazon, or you can buy water proof gloves to wear so you do not burn yourself with hot liquid. All of them are great ideas. When pouring a liquid from anything pitcher, milk carton, pot, that weighs quite a bit, I put the pot near the edge of the sink and place the cup colander... below it in the sink and tip the vessel I'm pouring from until it pours into the container in the sink. If it's liquid that you want to keep, you can use a finger for cold or a liquid level indicator for hot liquids. You can also use the weight of the liquid or the sound of it pouring if you are pouring into a glass or cup, especially a glass. If you get the cilicone gloves that make you think of lobster claws or a long mitten, you can literally put your hands in boiling water to pick something up. I learned the hard way that you can't use the short silicone oven mitts because there are seams that water can leak through. You have to make sure it is a solid cilicone glove meant for use with liquids.
Hope this helps!
