This pan makes it easy to steam vegetables or boil pasta and then simply strain off the cooking liquid, leaving the cooked food in the hot pan. The lid of this saucepan has a deep rim with straining holes. To strain, line the holes up with the pan's pour spouts and strain with ease. For covered cooking, rotate the lid to close the holes and moisture will stay inside the pan. To pour without straining, simply remove the lid and use the pour spouts that are built into the pan body.
