Description

Pasta night stops being a sink project. The boat cooks your noodles in the microwave, the lid drains the water, and you eat from the same dish with almost nothing to wash.

Perfect pasta in the microwave with a built-in strainer lid that drains water without a colander

Solves
  • draining hot pasta without a colander
  • messy stovetop pasta boiling
  • pasta portioning guesswork
  • pot cleanup after cooking pasta

Perfect pasta in the microwave, drained in the same dish

Stop wrestling a boiling pot over the sink. Pasta cooks in a boat with a built-in strainer lid, and the water drains off while the noodles stay put.

The lid does the draining for you

Cooked spaghetti stays in the boat as hot water drains through the lid

The lid drains the water

Tip the boat with the lid on and hot water runs out through the perforated holes. The noodles stay in the boat, so there is no colander to balance and no splashing across the sink.

Portion with a measuring slot

The side handle has a slot that holds uncooked spaghetti. Stand the strands in it to measure one serving, then tip them into the boat. Portions stop being guesswork.

Cook once, clean once

The boat and lid are dishwasher safe. One cycle clears the whole meal, and the same boat you ate from goes straight in the rack.

Pasta night in three easy moves

  1. 1
    Measure and load

    Stand spaghetti in the handle slot for one serving, then tip it into the boat. Add water and a pinch of salt until the pasta is covered.

  2. 2
    Lid on and microwave

    Snap the strainer lid on and microwave until the pasta is tender. Open the lid away from your face, since steam builds up inside. A catches splatter if your water tends to boil over.

  3. 3
    Drain through the lid

    Tip the boat slowly over the sink so the water runs out through the holes. The pasta stays put, and you eat from the same dish.

Questions and answers

Is it safe in the microwave, and does the plastic stay cool?
w
Wanelo · seller

The boat is a microwave-safe plastic body, and the side handle is built to stay cool to the touch when the food inside is hot. Steam still builds under the lid, so open it slowly and away from your face.

Does the strainer lid drain fully, or will some water stay in the pasta?
w
Wanelo · seller

The perforated lid lets hot water run off while the pasta stays in the boat. Tip slowly and keep the lid on. A little moisture clings to the noodles, which is normal, and a quick shake finishes the job.

How much pasta does it hold, and does the measuring slot work for spaghetti?
w
Wanelo · seller

The box lists a 5 lb capacity. The handle has a slot where you stand uncooked spaghetti to measure one serving before it goes in, so you cook the amount you actually want.

Is it dishwasher safe, and does it hold up to repeated use?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, the boat and lid are dishwasher safe. The build is lightweight plastic, not heavy cookware, so it will not feel like a pot in your hand. What you get is a pot, a colander and a steamer rack in one set, which is the value here.

What is included besides the boat?
w
Wanelo · seller

A strainer lid and a bonus steamer rack. The rack sets inside the boat for vegetables, so a side dish cooks at the same time as your pasta.
