💬 Usage Examples
“The moment in the history of American cooking when efficiency won out over taste and, instead of using a pair of tongs, and pulling the spaghetti straight out of the pot, people started using a colander (an evil instrument) and letting all that dense, murky rich ‘water’ rush down the drain.” Bill Buford; The Pasta Station; The New Yorker; Sep 6, 2004.
