pasta pot

Large cooking vessel

A pasta pot is a large cooking pot designed for boiling pasta, typically featuring a removable perforated insert that allows water to drain when lifted out.

The insert eliminates the need for a separate colander: Just lift the basket and the pasta's drained.

Some pasta pots include a locking lid with built-in strainer holes.
