Re: [CnD] pouring liquids into collandars
use a pot with a build-in colander. We have a set of 2 and they are wonderful for the purpose.

Re: [CnD] pouring liquids into collandars
good points. I always use large colanders and a stable base is a must. -Original Message- From: Eileen Scrivani via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2019 11:38 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Eileen Scrivani Subject: Re: [CnD] pouring liquids into collandars By setting the colander in the sink ahead of time and in the location I want it to be in, at the point I've carry the pot over to the sink I know where it is and as I pour slowly I can tell that its going in.

Re: [CnD] pouring liquids into collandars
Years ago, when I was in rehab, the teacher had me put a serving spoon, with a long handle, into the colander. then, I held the spoon handle with one hand, and the pan of pasta with the other. I'm right-handed. So I held the spoon in my left hand and the pan in my right. Then, I poured the liquid down where the spoon handle was. So, the liquid would all be inside the colander. -Original Message- From: Gary Patterson via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2019 11:02 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Gary Patterson Subject: Re: [CnD] pouring liquids into collandars I don't think I use any great methods for pouring spaghetti into colanders.

Re: [CnD] pouring liquids into collandars
To summarize, you can have the colander in the sink and know where it is placed and pour the contents of the pan into the colander, you can get a pasta pot that has a liner with holes in it that you just pick up and the liquid remains in the pot, you can get a lock lid pot or saucepan from one of the catalogs with equipment to help people who are blind/low vision or a specialty store for cooking or amazon, or you can buy water proof gloves to wear so you do not burn yourself with hot liquid. All of them are great ideas. When pouring a liquid from anything pitcher, milk carton, pot, that weighs quite a bit, I put the pot near the edge of the sink and place the cup colander... below it in the sink and tip the vessel I'm pouring from until it pours into the container in the sink. If it's liquid that you want to keep, you can use a finger for cold or a liquid level indicator for hot liquids. You can also use the weight of the liquid or the sound of it pouring if you are pouring into a glass or cup, especially a glass. If you get the cilicone gloves that make you think of lobster claws or a long mitten, you can literally put your hands in boiling water to pick something up. I learned the hard way that you can't use the short silicone oven mitts because there are seams that water can leak through. You have to make sure it is a solid cilicone glove meant for use with liquids. Hope this helps!

Re: [CnD] pouring liquids into collandars
By setting the colander in the sink ahead of time and in the location I want it to be in, at the point I’ve carry the pot over to the sink I know where it is and as I pour slowly I can tell that its going in. The colander is fairly large so its pretty easy to get it in. Also the colander I have has a good stable base that helps to prevent it tilting over.

Re: [CnD] pouring liquids into collandars
I do have a small set of rubber pieces that are shaped into a mid size pitcher with a pouring spot. I don't have any idea where I got them. I imagine they were on a trial basis. To use them, a person would need to empty the contents of the pan slowly.
