Just put up pasta to cook for shalosh seudos in parve pot. As its boiling I'm realizing I only have milchig or fleshing strainer..so can't actually keep pasta parve and have to be careful not to mess up the pot, or struggle to strain pasta without strainer..scoop out with parve slotted spoon (?). Do most people have 3 strainers? Not cook parve pasta? What do you do?

We have a pareve and a milchig strainer. I’ve never needed to strain meat… so I cook any pasta pareve and then go from there if I’m going to make a fleishig pasta dish.

I dont have a dairy strainer so I either use a slotted spoon or if its a long pasta shape like spaghetti I use tongs or the spaghetti spoon with the tines. It works out fine.

I would add cold water to the pot of cooked pasta. Wait for the pasta water to get cold enough that you can safely strain it into the sink using the lid of the pot or pick out the pasta with your hands. The nice thing about our hands is that clean hands are kosher, pareve, and even pesachdik.

I use meaty or milky.

I dont think it actually changes the status of the pasta.

Just like using a meaty or milky pot would not change the status of the food.

What are y'all putting in your colanders that makes them meat or dairy? Pretty sure mine is parve

Pasta cooked in fleishig pot goes in fleishig strainer and is washed on fleishig dishwasher.

Pretty sure pasta cooked in fleishig pot wouldn't make the colander fleishig. Not sure about the dishwasher though.

Yes, I have a pareve strainer.

They're so cheap. Buy one if you make pareve pasta often.

I don't think I ever made pasta in a fleishig pot.

Wouldn't it become dairy or meat equipment based on what you use?

I think it depends if you've used the pot in the past 24 hours and if it cooked hard dairy or meat within that time frame. I mean, it would give the pasta meat or dairy status if so.

I usually take my pareve pot to my porch and drain it into the grass using the lid of the pot. The steam coming up from the sink makes me more concerned than the colander. I don’t have a pareve sink

Strain it with a lid! I leave a little space open between lid and pot and drain.

If the colander is clean and wasn't used for anything non parve in the last 24 hours, the hot pasta will still stay parve.

I don't have pareve pots, but I almost never bother getting out my colander. If it's bigger pasta shapes, I use the lid and oven mitts. If it's spaghetti, I use tongs. Sometimes I use my fine mesh strainer as a spoon to lift the pasta out.
I only have one sink so I always turn the faucet to the side and have the coldest water running to hopefully avoid any problems with the steam.

Strain with lid and put back on fire for a minute for rest of water to evaporate.

I actually bought a pareve pasta pot for this reason.

I don't own a parve anything so I don't know the rules on this but if you are concerned that the steam from the dairy or meat colander would make the parve pot become either dairy or meat, then wouldn't that also be true about the sink beneath the colander? Meaning even if you had a parve colander the boiling water goes from parve pot to parve colander and then hits meat or dairy sink and then steam rises up to pot? So you'd also need a parve sink in addition to parve colander????
Somebody please explain. None of this makes sense to me.

Interesting to read the replies. I have three strainers; milk, meat and pareve. For this exact use. Always had, never thought about it.
