Will spaghetti slide out through the strainer holes? Thanks

No, but it is a little difficult to click the lid on properly while pot is hot.

No. There has been no problem with spaghetti sliding out but use pot holders because the handles get hot.

Have used it for several months and do not remember a single noodle coming out through a strainer hole-would not say it is impossible, but it would be very unlikely!

The holes are about 2mm in diameter, perfect for spaghetti or angel hair pasta but not for small grains like quinoa for which you should use a fine mesh strainer.

Yes, the strainer can be removed. Just don't remove the rubber cover for the secret compartment - that's the secret to not spilling!

I would not think so. Holes are fairly large and you would loose most if not all of your noodles!

Yes...they slide out from the end of the unit. I have had this for many months and am still thankful for it each time I grab a potato, onion, garlic or ginger. What a great, and simple, addition to my kitchen!

Sometimes, depending on the matter in the sink. Nothing goes down the drain though which is the purpose of the strainer.

If you are cooking pounds of spaghetti then yes. I have cooked 10 pounds or more for a fundraiser and used it. Some will go through the holes while cooking but most will go on the plate.

Pretty sure the answer is you can use the strainer. The mesh is extremely fine!

The strainer unscrews from the stem, but the knob does not, as far as I can tell.

I think it would, but I agree with other answer, there are more suitable strainers for pasta

Since I have never used it to strain cooked rice, I am not positive that all of the rice will stay in the strainer.

Yes they will, easily, but a whole pound would tax the larger size strainer capacity. Vigorous shaking shaved the cooked pasta a bit. Because theý're fine mesh, clean them soon after use before the starch sets.

No, quinoa will not fall through any of these strainers. I bought mine because my daughter likes to strain spaghetti sauce, Italian dressing, etc, and they work fine, so no way quinoa will slip through.

I dump my pasta into a colander. There is no way to secure the lid on, but there is a lip that if you held the lid on it could drain. Probably not the fastest way though.

No it won't fit. This cover has a groved track that fastens on top of strainer and stays fastens with friction.

No, unfortunately the holes are too big for rice and other small grains. Beans would be the smallest you could rinse with this particular strainer. Hope this helps.
