Five Star Reviews: | 64% Handy kitchen tool. Multi-tasker April 20, 2017 Perfect for pho noodles or blanching/boiling vegetables. It's a generous size - larger than I realized from the description. Very handy kitchen tool that I can see myself using frequently. Sturdy and well made. The bamboo insert on the handle helps keep it cool enough to touch. Excellent item. I bought this for cooking pasta or ... February 13, 2017 Excellent item. I bought this for cooking pasta or blanching vegetables in quantities that do not require a large pot. The holes would be too large for cooking some extremely small dried pasta (e.g., orzo or acini di pepe) but it is very handy for cooking larger sizes. It also works extremely well for reheating cooked pasta or vegetables via quick plunge into boiling water. The handle hangs nicely on my pot rack. Great for pasta, ravioli, shrimp, potatoes, beans. Boil a chicken carcass in it, no bones in the stock September 26, 2016 I had no trouble using it with a medium sized pot. The straight handle is designed for a tall pot/cooker and the basket has a hanging hook so the cooked food can drain. The basket will take a full pound of pasta if the pot is deep enough - asparagus pot. Our pot isn't as deep so we can cook 1/2 pound of pasta at a time. We have cooked ravioli and shrimp in the basket - really nice to pull the basket out instead of having to use a slotted spoon. Doing a second 1/2 lb batch is easy since the water is already hot - just drain and dump the first batch, the second batch takes just the cooking time not the time to also boil the water. We also use it to cook potatoes - nice for cooking potatoes until they are really soft, you don't need to strain the water. Also good for cooking beans. We will make a stock in our KitchenAid multi-cooker, then cook beans, different batches of pasta for soups like mini rings, in the stock. Now we can have customized bowls of soup or chili.We cooked down a chicken carcass in our KitchenAid multi-cooker - the basket fit, diameter and height. I was able to position the handle at the pour spout and the lid notch allowed the lid to fit nicely. Great for cooking a chicken carcass for soup - no bones got into the liquid, the veggies went outside the basket so they didn't end up mixed in the meat/bones at the end. I use a tea/herb ball for the spices so they also don't get mixed in.KitchenAid KMC4244CA Multi-Cooker with Stir Tower - Candy Apple Love! Great product!! July 5, 2016 Purchased this last week. I blanched and froze several batches of green beans with this basket. It made it so easy. I loved using it. The basket is good size and made very well. It even has a little hook to hook onto the side of the pot. I had no issue whatsoever with the blanching process. This basket helped make it nearly fool proof. This will be getting lots of use here while produce continues to roll in from the garden. So Useful April 2, 2016 I love this strainer basket. I cook noodles quite often and that's what I brought this for. But I have found it useful for so much more in the kitchen. The long handle makes it very easy to grab and shake dry anything you put in the basket. The flat bottom lets you put it down anywhere and the hook is great to let it hang dry. The holes are just the right size to strain pasta, veggies, fruit and pretty much anything else. Love it. Excellent for sous vide January 15, 2016 Exactly what I needed. Perfect for boiling/blanching as well as keeping things in place (e.g. eggs) in a circulating sous vide water bath. I first saw this used when we were sat at a chef's table in a restaurant kitchen and they were using this for soft boiled eggs that they start in boiling water then transfer to a lower temp sous vide bath. | 80% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 25% It is helpful to drain noodles or pasta. But ... September 20, 2017 It is helpful to drain noodles or pasta. But it is a big and tall piece. You need big cabinet to fit it. Love it! March 4, 2017 Love this product that i can use not only with noodles, pasta i can also use this for veggies and fruits lol but yeah worth the money! The quality is really great!! WELL MADE AND BIGGER THAN I ANTICIPATED. HAVE NOT ... February 14, 2017 WELL MADE AND BIGGER THAN I ANTICIPATED. HAVE NOT USED AS YET BUT AM SURE IT WILL BE HANDY FOR MY PASTA COOKING. I BOUGHT IT SO I DON'T HAVE TO LIFT THE FILLED POT, AND WILL UPDATE WHEN USED. It's great for asian noodles that you can drop into a ... December 17, 2016 This colander is extremely well made and effective. I expect to keep and use it fairly regularly for a long time. It's great for asian noodles that you can drop into a stock pot where other colanders can't fit.THat being said, this is fairly giant... be aware! The basket is probably a little smaller than a folgers can... a full six inches in diameter.I was surprised by the scale of the product but very pleased in how well it worked. Great strainer basket. January 14, 2016 I bought this product for my son in law, I'm the using it. Well made and easy to clean. It is a little bigger than I thought, not much. Our pot is actually on the short side. I like being able to cook small, quick batches of fresh pasta and not having to pour out the water. I will order your smaller basket strainer for single servings. Can't wait to do ravioli's. Thanks. This works great! August 15, 2015 I was looking for easier way to cook and drain pasta for 1-2 people and not use 4-5 quart size insert. This works great! | 13% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 8% Otherwise it is a nice concept. February 12, 2016 I found it to be very large and awkward to hold. Otherwise it is a nice concept. Seems like it would work for larger portions but not great ... November 25, 2015 Bigger than I expected. Seems like it would work for larger portions but not great for small ones. My fault I bought a big one, not the sellers fault. They were great. Its just better used on a large pot, for larger portions is all. | 4% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 3% Made well, but impractical shape March 2, 2016 Here's my issue with this: While it's well-made, who boils pasta in a tall, skinny pot? Basically, it's a waste of water to use this. It's really well made, but I can't stand the wasted space in the pot. Why don't they make one that shorter and fatter, like the typical pot you'd boil past in? (Oh, and don't try to use this for spaghetti, LOL. Yeah, I was that dumb.) Good idea - total design fail. February 14, 2016 The handle and entire handle area get VERY VERY hot as they are directly above the boiling water- I have to use a glove to lift it up and out of the pot when cooking - STRAIGHT up due to the vertical handle.It's nearly impossible to dump the cooked pasta out of the basket unless you either dump it towards yourself (handle at the top) or attempt to dump it from the side without burning yourself. A very poor industrial design.I've also found the holes to be too large as even linguini finds its way out or gets stuck in the holes every time I use it. In the end, using this basket isn't very much more ergonomic than lifting the heavy pot of water. Yes, it's lighter, but comes with its own list of issues.An angled handle like you'd see on a fry basket would make this an infinitely better product - it would be easier to dump out the pasta and NOT be directly above the heat. Design fail. | 2% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
