Joseph Joseph Scoop Plus: drain portions without tipping the pot
Decide whether Scoop Plus suits your pasta and vegetable routine. Check pot access, food size, draining space and storage before replacing a conventional colander.

What to compare ↓
Quick answer
Consider Scoop Plus when you want to lift portions of food out of cooking water while leaving the liquid in the pot. Skip it as your only strainer if you regularly need to drain an entire large batch or retain very small particles. Its usefulness depends on what you cook and whether the scoop can move freely inside your usual saucepan.
Verified features and limits
Joseph Joseph lists black SKU 10066 as a nylon scoop with draining holes and pan-rest hooks. Published dimensions are 7.5 × 34 × 13 cm; heat resistance is stated as 200°C/392°F. The maker says it is dishwasher safe and explicitly instructs users to remove cookware from the heat before resting the utensil on it. These specifications are not our test results.
Check the pot-to-plate route
Compare the scoop's outline with the opening of your smallest frequently used pot. Plan a short transfer to a bowl and leave room to let liquid drain back before moving. If your usual task involves several separate batches, count the repeated lifts: a conventional colander may be simpler. No hole-size specification was verified, so do not infer suitability for rice from a pasta photo.
Who should buy or skip
Buy for a recurring portion-lifting task, not because it combines several verbs on the packaging. Skip if an existing slotted spoon already handles your portions comfortably. Before adding it to a utensil crock, check that the wide head will not block neighboring tools; before choosing drawer storage, compare the listed height with usable drawer clearance.
US and Israel buying checks
The reference is the US manufacturer listing, not a verified checkout offer. US shoppers should match 10066 and pack contents. Israeli shoppers should confirm the local model, dimensions and return terms rather than assume the US listing ships to Israel. Compare total delivered cost only after a seller confirms your address; no price or delivery is recommended here.
Compare by how you will use it
| Your use | What to check before buying |
|---|---|
| Scoop versus full colander | Choose by workflow: selected portions favor evaluating a scoop, while emptying a whole pot favors evaluating a full colander. Keep the liquid you need in mind. |
| Scoop versus fine sieve | For tiny ingredients, verify aperture size before buying. A broad scoop and a fine sieve solve different retention tasks. |
Buying in the United States
Set your delivery ZIP code before comparing offers. Check shipping charges, taxes shown at checkout, the return window and whether a third-party seller handles fulfilment. A US retailer listing does not establish availability at your address.
Frequently asked questions
Can it rest on a pan still on the burner?
Follow the manufacturer's instruction to remove cookware from the heat source first. A heat-resistance figure does not override that instruction.
Does it replace every strainer?
No such conclusion is supported. Assess batch size, ingredient size and whether you need to keep the cooking liquid.
