I would say No...I tested it with the Ronzoni brand in my cabinet. There were short enough but they were too wide. Other brands may be narrower, but I still don't believe this to be an ideal storage container.

Probably, depending on how much lasagna and how thick your sauce is. Soupy sauce would leak out, otherwise it should be fine as long as you make sure it's closed correctly.

The chimney is to hold the strainer basket. Place it wide side down in the pot and you can cook noodles in the basket.

It's pretty small and the mesh is tight but the largest strainer could work depending on how much spaghetti you are draining. I would not try to use it for anything more than a couple of cups of pasta. I use mine for straining kefir.

Depending on how you're carrying the container from place to place. The middle compartment is like a Tupperware container and actually has a sealed lid on it. If your pasta sauce is thick, then I would suppose it wouldn't be an issue, especially if the whole bento + the strap was put together. Soup? Maaaybe. The thing is, it's not as secure as a Tupperware container, and while yes technically it will hold soup and sauces, you don't want to be shaking/dropping/flipping upside down the containers. I put yogurt and sometimes pasta salad (with dressing) in my middle compartment and it's never leaked. Depending on how you're carrying the container from place to place.

The manufacturer says you can freeze the lasagna in the pan, but then you should remove it and package for longer storage. Don't put the cold pan in a hot oven or it may warp.

I make sheets the width of the roller and use them for lasagna and ravioli . They are about 6" wide

The handles being rigid is great because you can pick it up and it feels sturdy and shake it to get any moisture out of what you are draining. I use angel hair pasta instead of regular thick spaghetti and it does not go through the holes. One of the best pieces of kitchen equipment I have and the price is high, but worth it.

Yes it will hold a teaspoon full. Just. I am a rather serious chef (self taught) and I found this to be ok but its really simpler to just lay out your pasta in a sheet, drop spoons of filling every couple inches, fold the pasta over the filling and use a jaggy cutter to just cut them into individuals. With this, yes it looks all perfect but if you don't get a lot of flour on the metal, the pasta will stick to it making it a little difficult to get them to fall out without ripping them. The professional chefs are always my guide and they dont use things like this. Its all hand done, simple, reliable and straight forward. Yes it will hold a teaspoon full. Just.

I would not think so. Holes are fairly large and you would loose most if not all of your noodles!

NO! The mesh holes of the basket are way too big for spaghetti. You might be able to use it for Rigatoni or other large pasta shapes, but not long, thin noodles. For reference, the holes in the mesh are approximately 1cm wide, and a spaghetti noodle is probably only 2mm wide.

The included recipe book has an entry for ultimate lasagna which I use constantly. It calls for noodles that have been softened by warm water for ten minutes the pan cooks them perfectly, no boiling required. It was a great buy! Love this pan.

Absolutely :) I have baked Lasagna in it a couple of times (biggest pan I got) and it turned out great, I lined the lower rack with aluminum foil in case the cheese bubbles over, saved a messy clean up. For clean up, let pan cool off, fill with hot tap-water and let soak until water cools off. I used a rubber spatula to scrape bottom and sides, rest cleaned up easily with a sponge or dish cloth. It is not safe to use on stove top :).

Absolutely, but I prefer Pyrex when backing lasagna. Nothing is easier than cleaning Pyrex.

This attachment makes the lasagna pieces a uniform thickness and width. Hand cut lasagna is also special because you have a more rustic product. I have lasagna pans that I use and appreciate the even width for my pans. There's no right or wrong way , just "your" way. Enjoy!

I own the microwave noodle bowl and also the 20 oz mug. Both are very sturdy. You could throw them in a lunchbox or backpack without worries. I have been impressed with Sistema products and am acquiring quite a collection.
