Scanpan 10-1/4-inc Pasta Insert
Fit this perforated stainless-steel insert into a Scanpan 10-1/4-inch (6-1/2-quart) stock pot before you begin cooking your pasta, and you won't need a colander for draining. Two sturdy loop handles facilitate lifting, shaking off excess water, and pouring the cooked pasta into a bowl or pan of hot marinara sauce. You can also use the insert when cooking other foods that need draining, such as artichokes and corn-on-the-cob. The gleaming stainless steel stands up to dishwasher-cleaning and won't harm the nonstick interior of the stock pot. Scanpan covers the insert with a full lifetime warranty.In response to environmental concerns regarding nonstick finishes, Scanpan in 2007 introduced its Green Tek nonstick technology. Working with its suppliers, Scanpan is the first cookware company to completely eliminate the use of the harmful chemical PFOA from the entire process used to make its nonstick compound. The new PFOA-free nonstick finish is now found on all Scanpan Classic and Professional cookware. Scanpan covers its cast-aluminum cookware with a full lifetime warranty.--Ann Bieri
