Hanging Hole The hook at the top of the handle gives one the option to hang this if not wishing to store spaghetti spoon in a drawer or crock. Teeth Design The design allows it to hold many more noodles, spaghetti or any pasta without them slipping off and falling back into the pot or bowl. Drainage Hole The tines are generous enough and the drain hole works without letting too much pasta fall through, regardless of whether it's spaghetti or penne.
