We are baking the pretzel loaf this Saturday at our bake-along. I don’t have a sling and was wondering how am I going to remove the loaf from the pot. I was thinking out of the box as usual. I remembered I had these 2 Chinese strainer with handles. I am going to use this to remove it and not going to burn myself from the water or condensation. This is my 2 most favorite tools in the kitchen and I use it often to make homemade pasta, noodles, dumplings, spring rolls, donuts, stir-fry or deep fat fried foods. They are very inexpensive and I purchased it from the Chinese store. It is the most versatile tool and used it so often that it has paid for itself.
