Clip it to the rim, tip the pan over the sink, and the water runs out while the pasta stays in the pan. One less thing to wash.
Color Green
How to use it
Turn off the heat and press both clips over the rim of the pan.
Hold both handles and pour slowly. The water runs out and the pasta stays behind the strainer.
Rinse it, let it dry, then push the plates together. It goes in a drawer, not on a shelf.
Close up
One at each end. Both hook over the lip, so the two sides share the weight of a full pan.
Five plates overlap. They slide apart for a wide stock pot and close up for a small saucepan.
Long slots at the top of each plate, round holes below. Water gets through. Spaghetti doesn't.
Fit
The clips need a lip to hook over. Most round pans have one.
It's 10.8 in (27.5 cm) long, so it covers the side you pour from rather than the whole rim.
Compared
A colander is still the thing for rinsing salad. For draining a hot pan, the strainer means less lifting and less washing up.
| Compared | This productClip-on strainer | Colander | Strainer lid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stored in | A drawer | A cupboard shelf | Its own pan |
| Works with | Most round pans with a lip | Any pan | One pan |
| Both hands on the pan | Yes | No | Yes |
| Washing up | One small piece | One large piece | Part of the lid |
If the pot is round and has a lip for the clips to hook over, yes. Square dishes and pans with a thick, flat edge won't hold it firmly.
Yes. Hold both handles and tip slowly, so the two clips share the weight as the water runs out.
Draining boiling water is its job. Clip it on when you drain rather than leaving it on the pan while it cooks, because the frame is plastic.
Yes, if the pan has a lip. Let the fat cool a little first, then pour it slowly into a heatproof container, never down the sink.
Hold a mug under the lip as you start to tip. The water comes through the slots slowly enough to catch a splash, which a colander never allows.

Sample, not realHonestly thought this would be one of those gadgets that ends up in the junk drawer. It's the opposite. I use it for pasta, potatoes, green beans, even blanching broccoli. The silicone bends enough to fit my 3 different pots and the clips actually stay put. Only thing to know is it won't sit on a square pan, which the description does say. Folds flat and goes right in the dishwasher.

Sample, not realWorks well on my mid size pans. A wider strainer would drain big pots faster, but it does the job.

Sample, not realMy dad has arthritis in his hands and lifting a heavy pan to pour into a colander was getting tricky for him. With this he clips it on, rests the pan on the edge of the sink and tips it slowly with both hands. He says it feels a lot steadier. The clips do need a firm press to get on, but once they're on they don't budge.

Sample, not realGood on my round pots, but a little short for my widest pan so I tilt from one side.

Sample, not realExcellent for pasta and veg. Tiny grains like orzo can find the edge, so I'm careful with those. Still the first thing I grab for spaghetti, and it's easy to clean afterwards.
