Pasta Insert Baskets

Pasta Insert Baskets: Productivity and Consistency

Pasta insert baskets or simply pasta baskets are used to cook uniform batches of pasta, vegetables, and other ingredients. These units are usually made of stainless steel or aluminum so that they can last a long time even with daily use. Stainless steel has a higher resistance to rust and damage. They are perforated to drain water and strain pasta to make the task simpler and more convenient.

Pasta insert baskets come in different shapes and capacities to accommodate your exact needs. Smaller baskets have a single handle that is cool to the touch to help you submerge and pull the pasta from the pasta cooker. There are larger pasta cookers that have two handles to safely carry a bulk of pasta.

Some pasta insert baskets are designed to follow the shape of the pot with a flat three sides and a rounded corner so you can cook pasta in multiple batches all at once. This saves a lot of time and makes it much easier to serve the pasta in servings.
