Will the drainer drain spaghetti?

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.

Large pasta sure... But spaghetti I'm pretty sure it'll go through the holes, maybe you can find one off those collapsible strainer you use ( metal that fold onto themselves) put that at the bottom and then it'll work. That's a lot of pasta too cook guessing you're got a big party! This pot is enormous...let me know the date and time and I'll come over and join in on the fun. Either way though I love this pot!

Yes you can, just move the handle. My family LOVES this faucet. The only thing you need to remember is to turn it off auto before draining pasta. That motion will cause the water to come on.

Hi, Annie: I am a buyer, not the seller. It sounds like the strainer should fit your drain.

Too big for spaghetti. Try a Pasta Pot. I have one of those. They work great.

I am not sure. I know that I have made enough spaghetti for ten people and still had plenty of room. Sorry, but I love mine.

I've never tried it, but in my use, it does seem to need to slope toward the drain. It is a neat product though.

Yes, my husband loves to take the big spaghetti pot and cook a whole pound of pasta. It does take awhile for the water to boil but it does a great job of it. I just cooked spaghetti tonight and it was delicious. This is a great product and I highly recommend it.

No it won't. The drain cover has to come off. Try prying it off with a screw driver.

only if you lay them down and bend them into a curve. I have cooked spaghetti that way and it worked fine. you can't lay them out straight. you really should buy a real spaghetti pan with a strainer.

The angel hair is just a little thinner cut than the spaghetti. I use the angel hair cutter for spaghetti and have no problem with it.

Theoretically, yes. You could conceivably string something through the drain hole at the far tip.

This was my question too, as I was looking for an insert/colander that would fit the stock-pot I have. Why buy another complete set if this strainer/steamer basket would serve the same purpose? I've found that this works just fine for cooking pasta and then draining it. You just need to use a potholder to grab the handle. I was tired of pouring cooked pasta into a separate colander placed inside the sink. I haven't tried using it to cook extremely thin spaghetti, but I prefer thicker pastas, especially bucatini.

I sure hope not. Seems to me that sharing a drain with a dishwasher is fairly standard and certainly what mine does.

Yes - however it makes squared off spaghetti not round tubular spaghetti because it cuts, not extrudes.

No, well not if you have the pop up stopper. I slid the snake right down on different sides of the drain and pulled out a significant amount of sludge. It worked the same in the sink too.

Not that I'm aware of. To drain you would have to hold slightly open and hope not to lose too much content with the liquid.

As Pam stated the Dutch oven is 12"x10" and is 5" deep. The oven is pretty heavy without anything in it. I would think it would be awkward to cook spaghetti and then have to drain it. Hopes this helps.
