I love trying new kitchen tools, and there’s one particular tool that turned out to be the best addition Iโve made to my kitchen arsenal in recent memory! So in todayโs post, I wanted to tell you all a little bit about it, in case you could use one in your own kitchen as well!
My New Favorite Kitchen Tool: The Silicone Pasta Strainer
Ground beef makes a regular appearance in our everyday dinner rotation, whether in the form of tacos, spaghetti with meat sauce, goulash, etc. And Iโve never felt like I had a good way to drain the fat out of the ground beef that didnโt involve either dirtying a strainer or accidentally dumping a good amount of it down the drain of our kitchen sink!
Enter the Silicone Pasta Strainer. All I have to do is clip this silicone attachment to the lip of my pot or pan, and then I can safely pour the fat out (or the water, or whatever liquid I want to get rid of) without losing any of the food!
Here are a few of the specific reasons why this particular strainer attachment has so quickly become my new favorite kitchen tool.
5 Things I Love About This Strainer Attachment
1. It Fits Almost Any Pot Or Pan
Finally, a strainer you can attach to any pot or pan! It will even snap onto a big mixing bowl. Itโs made of flexible silicone, which helps ensure a perfect fit and seal no matter where you attach it.
Just push it onto the edge of your pot, pan, or bowl, and use the clips to secure it. Easy!
2. It Has A Spillproof Pour Spout
No matter what youโre straining, pouring a bunch of hot liquid and food into a colander often results in a hot, splashy mess. Thankfully, this snap-on strainer has a spillproof spout that makes pouring tidier and eliminates spills.
3. Itโs Dishwasher Safe
Anything that makes kitchen cleanup easier is a friend of mine, so the fact that the SnapโN Strain Strainer is dishwasher safe was a big selling point for me! And as a bonus, it also takes up a lot less room in my dishwasher than my old plastic colander.
4. Itโs Made With Heat-Resistant Silicone
Hot fat and boiling water can damage certain materials, but thatโs not an issue here due to the heat-resistant silicone construction of the SnapโN Strain Strainer. From ground beef to bacon, you can strain fat and grease out of your hot pan without worry!
5. Itโs Affordable (And Comes In Fun Colors!)
At just $10, this strainer attachment wonโt break the bank. And you get your choice of sixteen colors! Get one in your favorite color to add a pop of color to your kitchen!
Even though the Silicone Pasta Strainer arrived on my doorstep just a few weeks ago, Iโve already used it so many times Iโve that Iโve lost count! If you could use an easier way to strain things when youโre cooking in the kitchen, I heartily recommend giving this one a try for yourself!

I totally agree! Have gifted 6 to others already and its not even Christmas yet. Will gift many more cuz I no longer loose half the pan full nor steam burn my arms. Genius!!!!!

Thanks for your work!

I keep all my veggie cuttings in the freezer along with any bones I buy or have frozen. After the broth has been made and cooled a bit, I use this for straining it into freezable containers. I always have broth on hand now and, as expensive as broth is in the stores, itโs a great savings!!!
