Calphalon Nylon Pasta Fork

 (6 customer reviews)

Over the years, I've used and abused numerous tools for stirring pasta as it boils, and for dipping it out once it's done - everything from a slotted plastic spoon, to bacon tongs, and a three-tined wooden fork. I even had this thing that looked like a flat wooden spoon with about a dozen 1-inch dowel pegs mounted on the spoon end. Nothing seemed to work all that well - and the odd dowel-pin thingie was a serious pain to clean. I finally decided there was just no great way to do that particular job.

But while "retooling" following a major kitchen remodel, I tried just one more pasta implement, and imagine my shock to find that it works beautifully! Mine is technically an earlier model of this Calphalon item, but I recently bought this one for a gift, and it seems very similar, with a slightly larger ladle end, and what feels like a stronger handle, which also has a longer non-slip grip area, all design improvements, if anything.

We eat a lot of pasta and this tool is ideal for serving it. It grips the pasta well and can handle a heavy amount without bending. The entire tool is sturdy and seems very well made. It looks nice hanging by the stove. I recommend it.

Great pasta fork to complement my other fine Calphalon kitchen utensils. Also is a good solution to gently cradling and rolling raw eggs into pans of boiling water without breaking egg shells.
