Placed against the edge of a pot or pan, this crescent-shaped utensil helps drain off excess liquid while keeping the cooked ingredients within the pan. Typically made from plastic or stainless steel, the Pour Off Sieve is a pot and pan drainer that helps to safely keep hands from touching hot liquids such as boiled water. Handles are either formed into each side of the Pour Off Sieve or placed as a single handle on one end. This kitchen tool for draining works well to remove liquids from cooked foods such as pasta, vegetables, meats, and other items that are commonly prepared in a pot containing hot water.
