My bloggy friend, Jennifer, turned me on to Works-For-Me Wednesday. And I like it. Every Wednesday, bloggers link up to We Are THAT Family and post some tip or helpful hint that, well, works for them. So here goes.
This pot rocks. My mom gave it to me many years ago for no reason except that she read about it in The New York Times and had to have one (or two).


We eat a lot of drained foods: pasta, blanched veggies, potatoes, corn on the cob, more pasta, shrimp. This pot has seen years of use and still works well. The pot can hold 1 pound of pasta, is nonstick, and saves me the trouble of using (and washing) a colander. I cannot seem to find this exact model anymore, but there are similar pots out there. Did I mention it goes in the dishwasher? I’m in love.

Very cool idea. I\’ve seen the ones that have the colander insert, but that\’s really like a whole \’nother piece, too, so this is much much better.
Oh, that IS clever. I have one with the colander insert (which is, essentially, just one more thing to wash), but this one looks very cool.
My mom has one of these and I’ve really been missing it since I left home *L*
I have seen those but never bought one. I think I will have to do that the next time I see one. Thanks for sharing.
