Oxo Good Grips Nylon Spaghetti Server

Excellent spaghetti server. Just a little on the large size, but otherwise, does its job perfectly.

OXO International makes well designed kitchen products with ease of use in mind. And this durable nylon spaghetti server is no exception. Their good grips concept is true to form and has won them the Tylenol Arthritic award.

We make homemade pasta, which tends to be softer as well as fresher, and have found this spoon to be excellent for stirring and serving everything from linguine, vermicelli, rotini, and even the wispiest angel hair pasta. It stays cool and is long enough (over 14 in.) to spiral up noodles from the deepest stockpot without burning you. The extended prongs make for easy 'al dente' checking as opposed to throwing strands against a wall, (although my son swears THAT makes him feel so Italian) And it just feels good in your hand.

Note: for extended use, even though it is dishwasher safe, I only put it on the top rack. Also, to share a trick I learned from a Martha Stewart episode; when draining your hot pastas, turn on the cold water to the side of your colander, it helps draw the steam away from giving you a pasta facial!

Packaged with some colorful gourmet pastas, a new colander, and perhaps a cookbook, this would make a great anytime gift.

If you want to serve a perfect dish of spaghetti or noodles, I highly recommend this kitchen tool. It will keep the pasta untangled and aids greatly in transferring the pasta from pot to serving dish. The pasta won't break, meaning the pasta stays attractive. This is absolutely one of my favorite kitchen gadgets!
