re: pasta pots

i have also looked at the pots....they are very thin and they are very hard to line up the little tab of metal in the slot . when u are busy cooking i would think this could be a pain.they are dark too so u have to really look at what u are doing ,the inside is black on most of the ones i seen. i also watched a chef cook with them on tv and he said they are not that good but the idea was good.that is the same thing i was thinking about them.i think i will just keep using my strainer....haha hope this helps,i am bad about all that new stuff ,i think i have to have it.....but not this time nicky
