Tableware sets with a drain spout

Drain spout

— a small protrusion on the edge of cookware that makes it easier to pour liquids in a thin, directed stream. It helps drain water, milk, broth, sauce, or excess fat neatly without spilling the contents onto the stove or table. This feature is especially useful on saucepans and small pots, which are often used for sauces, porridge, beverages, and reheating liquids.

However, it is worth noting that in sets, it may not be present on every piece of cookware and may be limited to just one (usually the smallest one).
