In the 1960 film The Apartment what did Jack Lemmon use to strain spaghetti?

In the 1960 film "The Apartment", Jack Lemmon's character, C.C. Baxter, doesn't strain the spaghetti. He uses a large ladle to scoop the cooked spaghetti directly from the pot into individual bowls.

This scene is memorable because it highlights Baxter's somewhat clumsy and improvisational approach to cooking, which contrasts with his more polished and sophisticated persona at work.
