6. Be Magic. Amaze your friends and more importantly your kids when you pull this “magic” trick out of the pot. To keep water from boiling over, simply place a wooden spoon across the top of the pot. Voila!
7. Don’t Strain Yourself. This sweet strainer attaches to the bowl so your daughter can help drain her fave noodles without risking life and limb. Little hands are totally in the clear on this one and you don’t have to overhaul your entire sink to use it, either (we know you have dishes “soaking”).

9. Store it Tight. Keep your noodle stash in sight of you little ones with a castle container like this one. Then when the craving hits, pop the top to boil a bowlful of pasta fit for royalty.
