Kath,
My Vittorio is an older model, but I also have a strainer that looks almost exactly like it made by nor pro. If you can find one, maybe it will work better, and you could then refund the Vittorio?
And burned enamelware? Are you reducing your sauce in your enamelware? It is very thin and burns easily (as you may know). You may want to reduce your sauce overnight in a crock pot set on low with the lid off. I did it that way for many years before changing to the method I use now. I had four crock pots lined up on the counter along with my turkey roaster oven, all with lids off and set on low. It was the easiest way for me to get sauce reduced without burning it.
Good Luck!
