Nope. They would get stale & it looks messy. :-)


They don't get stale unless you're challenged by the concept of rolling the
top of the bag before clipping. If you can't manage that, you'd be living in
a group home.

They would still look messy though ;-)

You keep the bags in the cereal boxes! You must be retired. Or, you need a
hobby. :-)

I use angel hair all the time and have never had that happen.

So, which one do you use?

You have not answered an question asked earlier: What percentage of your
angel hair pasta would you estimate falls out of the holes?

None.


I addressed that question to Eric, who might be realizing by now that he
really does not have a problem. :-)

Just use a strainer. How difficult is that?


Probably about as hard as it is for you to be bitchy for no good reason.


Wow. There is a pot and a kettle. She is right. How hard can it be to
strain
angel hair pasta with a regular colander?


Oh **** off, Dave.


LOL,. Good rebuttal o the sugegtion that you calling someone a bitch is like
the pot calling the kettle black.


Some people are more detail-oriented than others, and those few escaping
angel-hair pasta pieces bother them. There was no need for Jill to get
snotty about it.

Sure. Get snotty about someone suggesting that it is pretty easy to use a
strainer and then suggest that it is "detail-oriented" to worry about the non
issue of angel hair pasta escaping through the holes in a colander. What kind
of anal retentive freak worries about a few strands of pasta? That is not
"detail-oriented". That's just ****ing weird and anal..... apparently one of
your better qualities.

Plus, a strainer would be a lot harder to wash than a collander.

No Shit Einstein. That is why I suggested using a colander.

To the OP: try slipping the cook pot under the collander as soon as
you dump the angel hair in. That way you catch what might pasta have gone
down the drain.

What does a poor anal retentive moron like you do with strand or two that may
end up in the pot? Now that extra pot that is going to have to be washed is
also going to have to be emptied. Heaven forbid that it may end up in the sink
strainer basket.

And furthermo **** OFF Dave.

Try some medication.

Enough to be annoying which is why I asked the original question.

Just put a pot under it, that is what I do. Then you just pick up the
collander
and snag whatever has fallen through and pop it back in the collander.

I use a mesh colander like this one:

Ohh, we are colander buddies. I have the same one!


I really like this type. I have two smaller nesting sizes of the same.
Can't remember the last time I used my "regular" colander.

I've always had strainers like that... only recently did I buy what
you'd call a colander.

Similar, but now exact:

OK. Take your colander to the store and find one with smaller holes. Bring a
set of small drill bits to use as measuring tools for the holes. Do not
trust your eyes.

I have one similar to that, too, but rarely use it.

What you need is called a Seive or China Cap not a Colander.

You can spend anywhere from twenty to eighty dollars on one.

My old strainer style collandar rusted out after 25 years +.... so
it's my only choice now. I have large strainers for smaller
jobs.
