35, I know we normally don't like selfies, but maybe you guys will make an exception.

I tried #2 and one side of the strainer fell off. I lost my entire box of macaroni.

#32 too relatable :C
juffowup00
Now then, #11..I have several questions..first of all if the other one bites the others nose do they both feel it?
dowingba
Yeah that's not how strainers are designed to work. Why do you think they're shaped like a bowl?
speelydan
#2 Do you want 2nd degree burns? Cuz that's how you get 2nd degree burns.

So many people taking #2 seriously lmao

Why your pasta going back in the pot at all. Spoonfull of the starchy water into the sauce pot, never all in 1 pot. Fuckin heathens
DevilishlySexyStarfish
Why do I feel like that potato's name is Dave?
ChaotikWolfi
it's always Dave... except when it's Steve

#30 is BS. I test toilet paper machines and get free tp from work. One day is hella lux, next is exfolia-wipe, but it’s all free!

I love how many imgurians who probably never cook can be fooled by #2.

not quite done pasta into the strainer. back into the pot. put a little back in the strainer. pour sauce in the pot. 1/2
twinrider1
swirl reserved pasta in sauce pot to get it all, then into the big pot Stir it up and let it sit. Pasta finishes in the sauce. No drips
knightswhosayekkiekkiekkiPTANGzoomboingznourrigmNI
#2 is not at all how you're supposed to do it. The pot is still practically on fire, and at that heat, Cooked pasta will stick right to it.
knightswhosayekkiekkiekkiPTANGzoomboingznourrigmNI
If you want all of your pasta sticking to the side of the pan, making it infinitely harder to clean, do it that way.

if i catch any of you doing #2 you're all grounded. pour the pasta into the strainer the right way.
officialgifpolice
Am I the only one that rinses my pasta after draining? This method would make that so much more work.
ChaotikWolfi
I don't use a strainer at all, Fite me :^)

ChaotikWolfi
I do the same, but I put a sieve in between the lid and the pot, Just in case....
binhood
#2 whoaaa
KraftPunkIsLookingForACheeseWife
I know, right?!
AMartianPotato
It's wrong. That's not how is supposed to be done.
valen00
No
Satsugaisuru
No.
Lulabel73
It’s not going to work unless you have holes all the way up to the edge.
reclusivegiraffe
#2, if that’s how you’re supposed to do it, then why is it bowl shaped and not just flat? plus, that wouldn’t fit perfect on every pot.
reclusivegiraffe
*perfectly
Rivalyn
You're supposed to pour it out because you make the sauce in the pot you just made the pasta in.
ILikePugandFrenchiePictures
Technically, you're supposed to pour it into a strainer IN a bowl, make the sauce, and use pasta water as necessary to adjust sauce.
baysaa
#15 yep my brain was fooled
ChaotikWolfi
I thought I knew what was up... then I looked at the legs... took me a second

ChaotikWolfi
I mean, I don't judge men that want to look fabulous, but it still seemed confusing >.>
bowdowntobuns
I'm calling BS on #2. For that to work your strainer has to be the exact size of the pot. Also lots of them have bases to stand upright.
PrinceSamaSanChanKun
Wait... Strainers don't fit most pots? Have I just been lucky?!
ILikePugandFrenchiePictures
It's a trick to be lazy/quicker. Can be done with a lid, another pot, etc etc etc. Use it often... but it's sure as F not the "right" way...
ILikePugandFrenchiePictures
Good chance of pouring boiling water on your hands.
FreshBundleOfStick
It's also designed like a bowl, it's like they're not even trying to think.
MikeF1982
It's totally BS, the type when you hold it against the pot to drain out are flat.
jakeinthehood
Also for the pasta to not fall out the pot you have to hold it on both sides, pour boiling water on your fingers while holding the hot pot
freiman
Yeah that is not how a strainer works
IUpvoteScience
tomyironmane
... no it doesn't. it's round, the pot is round, it just won't go all the way in.
Bibulus
And how are you going to hold it if the handles don't match up? And even if they do, it's a great way to pout boiling water on your hands.
chardlz
Unless the pot is larger than the colander
tomyironmane
then you're an idiot if you try it that way.
ImaginaryMamboNumber5
Also, you're going to burn/scald your hands holding it on while you drain it
FatBastardVegetarian
Thank you! (michaelscott.gif)
bardilala
Also that plastic strainer could melt on the hot pan, resulting in lovely cancer pasta
CongratsYouAreHereNow
It's a pot
amoham057
On the bright side if you use metal you may get your daily iron level.
PeterOscarson
Ooh, tumour conchiglie, my favourite.
404GravitassNotFound

LethalSalad
Also, the pan needs to have enough room to fit the entire strainer, which means less pasta will fit.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
Will you ingrates stop calling it a pan?! It's a pot! Crikey
Yrmsteak
also, you gotta hold the strainer and that pasta water is HOT, even just the steam coming off it.
Nize426
And with the bowl shape the pasta will easily squeeze out from between the strainer and pot.
MajorPubes
I pour pasta INTO the strainer, that’s just how I roll dawg
VigorousButtstuff
Calaphon has pans with strainers built into the lip of the lids, and pour spouts.
VigorousButtstuff
Calphalon^. Whatever.
dildodasher
well, I pour the strainer into the pasta
circlebreaker
I can't be the only person who noticed that there's a base/'feet' on strainers, right? The fool in the pic. is going to maim their pierogies
Lastavica
Pour it into the strainer,but DON'T put it back into the pot... wiggle it in the strainer and put the strainer on the pot - no watery pasta!
JackDawesLovesmybigwhat
The starch in the pasta water mixes with your sauce and helps it stick to the noodles. Leaving a little water in there is a good thing.
KingBeardy
That's how you're supposed to do it. #2 is an idiot getting an idiot idea from another idiot.
Bibulus
Yeah, that seems like a great way to pour boiling water over your hands
KingBeardy
And crush your pasta.
terribleinternetpunsfirstborn
One time I went on a school trip for the holidays. At one point we were left to do lunch for ourselves and most of us just did big pots 1/
terribleinternetpunsfirstborn
of noodles. I put ours on just behind a group of girls from another room (we were staying in a youth hostel) and as ours were finishing 2/
terribleinternetpunsfirstborn
up I stood there and watched them for like two minutes trying to scoop the noodles out of the pot with tongs. They got most of them and 3/
terribleinternetpunsfirstborn
moved aside. I reached up and grabbed the colander and did it in five seconds flat in front of all four of them. The worst part is I 4/
terribleinternetpunsfirstborn
didn't even do it to fuck with them, I just saw them with the tongs and assumed they knew what they were doing. 5/5
missDKpower
Also because it’s actually how it’s meant to be done.

UNLESS IF YOU'RE SUPER INTO SCALDING THE FRICK OUT OF YOUR FINGERS
tomyironmane
yeah, check the hole pattern.
DoctorAculaPhD
that's what she said
UnremarkablyInteresting
You're not my usual proctologist.
Bibulus
Plus they aren't designed in standardized sizes to fit into pots
JodyHighroller
What does that have to do with it? Also, strainers should just have like a little slot on each edge so it can be used either way.
tomyironmane
but they don't. The holes are near the bottom of the thing, not around the edge, like would be necessary to use them as depicted.
JodyHighroller
I know... which is why I said they should. I'm suggesting that it would be a nice feature so that you could actually use it like in the gif.
Argondey
It's a good way to get boiling hot water on your hands though
