Pasta just tried to kill me

Not long ago I was given one of those fancy pots with holes in the lid for straining pasta water. After remembering that I had a bit of a particularly tasty sausage in the freezer and a jar full of arrabiata, I decided give the pot a try. I'll spare you the flavorific details of what I did with the food, and leave you with a warning. These fancy pots work rather well for draining pasta water, but they don't let steam out terribly well. Remember not to put your face over the pot when you open it after draining. Further remember not to breath through your mouth if you should forget to move your face. I just burned the crap out of my tongue.
