Straining is separating a solid-liquid mixture by passing it through a sieve or cheesecloth. It is used when boiling pasta, and in preparing sauces or yogurt. The mesh size of the strainer determines how clear the result is.
Where It's Used
“Drain the boiled pasta in a colander and pour off the excess water.”
