Al’s the kind of chap that’s dedicated to his craft. His silicone construction means he’s heat resistant, BPA-free, food-safe, and dishwasher friendly. Pop him on the edge of your saucepan and he even lets you place a lid on top with a small opening around him, working as a steam releaser… although his favorite activity really is patiently casting a line of spaghetti into your boiling water. Instead of taking a pair of tongs and fishing around for a noodle to bite into to test your pasta’s done-ness, Al Dente does the hard part for you, holding onto a single test noodle that you can easily grab out and test. For now, Al Dente only works with dry spaghetti and bucatini, although I’m sure he’s looking to expand his skill set in the future!

Meet Al Dente. First name Al, last name Dente. Al is passionate about two things – fishing, and perfect toothsome spaghetti.

Spaghetti del Pescatore (Fisherman’s Spaghetti) is the kind of simple dish that makes Italian food so enticing.
