To cook pasta easily al dente, WMF has developed pots with an integrated sieve. This is practical because when the pasta is ready, you can simply lift out the sieve insert without using potholders, as the handles are hollow and do not heat up. Tip the pasta water into the drain, leaving a small amount. Then, put the sieve back into the pot with the pasta and cover it with the lid; this way, the pasta stays warm until serving. The WMF models are made of Cromargan and feature a TransTherm all-stove base. They are available in 18 and 24 centimetre diameters.
