Mated colander pot

A mated colander pot is frequently used by professional chefs such as Emeril Lagasse to boil pasta. It is a large colander of the identical shape and a slightly smaller size than the pot it fits into. As such pasta need not be fished out of its boiling pot as the colander portion can simply be removed leaving the water behind.
