New Series: Paula’s Passions

Today, I’m launching a new segment to the blog: Paula’s Passions. This will be a place where I post kitchen, cooking, and food products that I’m passionate about. These are things that make my life easier in the kitchen.

I love a good kitchen gadget (who doesn’t) & literally can find myself perusing the aisles in kitchen stores for as long as the kids will let me look, searching for my next new thing. I don’t think you can have too many kitchen gadgets, pots, or pans – LOL. So for the first inaugural edition I want to feature … ta da!

Rachael Ray’s 8 quart Hard Anodized Orange Covered OVAL Pasta Pot! (Whew that’s a  mouthful!)

I LOVE THIS POT! I had my eye on it for quite some time. I’d like to, once again, thank my MOM for giving it to me for Christmas!

I cook a lot of pasta dishes, no surprise there, and breaking the pasta noodles is NOT an option for me. In the past I would have to stand over my traditional pasta pot, pushing the pasta down until it was fully emerged in water! NO LONGER! With this amazing OVAL pot you simply wait on the water to boil & drop your pasta in HORIZONTALLY, all at once submerged. It’s a beautiful thing. Just give it a stir, place the clear glass lid on & you can see your pasta cooking away to a perfect al dente.

Another fab feature of this pot is it’s draining spout. There’s a little spout on one side which allows steam to escape while cooking so you don’t have those nasty spill overs & it also allows you to hold onto the lid & drain your pasta! FAB! It’s a nice grey color with her signature orange cushiony handles. Thanks Mom, for giving me this FAB Pasta Pot that doesn’t leave the top of my stove! If you need a Pasta Pot, I hope you’ll give this one a try!
