I place my colander in the sink, near to the front corner on the right side which is where I will tilt and pour the pot with the hot water from. I also have a pot that has one of those locking lids with holes in it.
Sometimes I keep the lid on and just drain out all the water which is fine for pasta – it doesn’t have to go into a colander. Just make sure the lid is in the locked position before starting to pour. The lid lets you get rid of all the fluid & keep the contents in the pot. Then I’ll use a slotted spoon to scoop it out onto the dish. If I do need to pour into the colander, then I make sure I have on water-proof oven mits. Like I mentioned I keep the colander in the corner of the sink so it gets some support to help stabilize it as I pour out the contents of the pot. Don’t lean your face over the sink as you pour because the hot steam will rise up and you could get a bad burn from it. HTH.
