good points. I always use large colanders and a stable base is a must. -----Original Message----- From: Eileen Scrivani via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2019 11:38 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Eileen Scrivani Subject: Re: [CnD] pouring liquids into collandars
By setting the colander in the sink ahead of time and in the location I want it to be in, at the point I've carry the pot over to the sink I know where it is and as I pour slowly I can tell that its going in. The colander is fairly large so its pretty easy to get it in. Also the colander I have has a good stable base that helps to prevent it tilting over. Also, at the point I get over to the sink with the pot I can set the potdown on the counter to double check my alignment if its in question.

I also have a pot that has one of those locking lids with holes in it. Sometimes I keep the lid on and just drain out all the water which is fine for pasta - it doesn't have to go into a colander. Just make sure the lid is in the locked position before starting to pour. The lid lets you get rid of all the fluid & keep the contents in the pot. Then I'll use a slotted spoon to scoop it out onto the dish. If I do need to pour into the colander, then I make sure I have on water-proof oven mits. Like I mentioned I keep the colander in the corner of the sink so it gets some support to help stabilize it as I pour out the contents of the pot. Don't lean your face over the sink as you pour because the hot steam will rise up and you could get a bad burn from it. HTH.
