A spaghetti spoon is also called a pasta spoon, pasta fork, pasta ladle and a spaghetti server.
Another tool for pasta is a pasta spider which can be used to remove pasta from boiling water and can be placed directly into a bowl or separate pan with sauce.
The holes in the pasta spoon are for draining and allowing excess water to drain from the pasta and preventing a watery sauce.
The holes in the pasta spoon can also be used to measure the right amount of pasta to cook and the hole can hold around 100 grams or 3.5 ounces of pasta, which is around the amount of pasta recommended per person.
The pasta spoons shape also helps twirl pasta around in boiling water.
The reason there's a hole in a wooden spatula is to keep you from over beating the ingredients which allow for better sauces and cakes.
The hole in the wooden spatula also allows the liquids to pass through when you're trying to lift something solid.
A wooden spatula with a hole is also good for fluffing rice and grains and keeping chunks in chunky sauces as well as preventing over beating, reducing weight and collecting ingredients.
Solid spatulas have a flat flipping portion that doesn't include slots or holes.
This means there aren't any openings for food or batter to fall through.
For this reason, solid spatulas are perfect for flipping pancakes, sandwiches, and other food that could crumble up or lose pieces when flipped.
Solid spatulas are best when you don't need liquid to pass through and spatulas with holes are best when you need liquids to pass through.
