Milk Street Pasta Pot

Description Section Product Title: Milk Street Pasta Pot Main Description: Why would you need a pot for cooking pasta? Won’t a stock pot work just as well? The Milk Street Pasta Pot is designed to not just cook pasta efficiently but, with flared sides, make tossing with sauce so much easier. It also comes with a matching stainless steel strainer that sits neatly inside the pot, so you can cook the pasta with the basket inserted and then simply pull it out to strain. The TK-quart Milk Street Pasta Pot’s gently flared sides let you swirl, toss and stir an entire pound of pasta until the sauce is totally emulsified. And we didn’t just consider the finishing touches: This pot is meant to be the ultimate tool for every stage of cooking pasta, from boiling and straining to building the sauce and tossing everything together. Made from three layers of 2-millimeter thick and sturdy—but not overly heavy—composite steel, it achieves a full boil quickly and stands up to acidic ingredients like tomato-based sauces. The strainer can also be used for blanched veggies, boiled eggs, you name it. The pot’s handle is long, curved and hollow, all of which work together to keep it cool, even with the heat cranked up to the max. We included a tempered glass lid that fits snugly, with or without the strainer set inside, so you can use it to steam veggies, too.

Beyond pasta, it’s also our pick for soups, stews, blanching fresh vegetables and even making risotto.
