Stainless Steel Colander With Handle and Legs, Large Metal Green Strainer for Pasta, Spaghetti, Berry, Veggies, Fruits, Noodles, Salads, 5-quart 10.5” Kitchen Mesh Colander, Dishwasher Safe

This colander is great and I wish I'd seen and ordered it sooner. I had been using a traditional, stainless steel colander with some holes in a fancy pattern, but it didn't drain anything very well. I saw this colander and decided to try it and it works so much better! It has hundreds of small holes that let the liquid out quickly while retaining the solids in the bowl. It is lightweight but sturdy, the handles stay cool. I've rinsed rice and lentils and none go through the holes. Pasta drains quickly so it doesn't get cold while you wait for the water to drain away. Fruit washes easily in it. It holds the same amount as my old colander, but isn't as tall, so it fits better in the cupboard. I've only had it a couple of months so I can't report on its long-term durability, but it seems sturdy. It is easy to wash. I'm very glad I ordered it.

I was hesitant to purchase this colander because of the way the metal basket part looks- it's a much tighter mesh than the colanders I'm used to using. I absolutely love this colander though. The tight basket size is fantastic for when I'm straining noodles or things that have bits of veggies and seasonings in the pot. With a normal colander, I'd usually lose a lot of bits and pieces, but not anymore with this one. I love the fun color, the sturdiness, the ease of cleaning, and how well it drains. Overall this is a fantastic colander and I highly recommend it.

Very good product. Easy to clean.

I feel like if you're the type of person who needs to read a review of a collander, then maybe you shouldn't be buying a collander.But if you insist...The main strainer bowl is stainless steel. Keep it clean, keep it dry, wash by hand NOT in dishwasher, or else it will rust eventually.The top rim and handles are plastic. Pretty durable, but try not to drop it because it might crack.You put things in, liquid drops out the bottom while solids stay in the bowl. Easy as that. Works by gravity.Holes are small enough to prevent spaghetti from falling out. Not small enough to prevent rice from falling out.It has little stainless steel feet so it will sit level on most hard surfaces.Lightweight.Big enough to handle up to 1 lb of cooked pasta. Maybe 1.5 lbs if you're very careful.Good for draining liquid (i.e. water) out of cooked pasta, washed vegetables, etc.Functions as intended. No complaints from me so far.

Seems to be well made, functions good for straining/ washing veggies, everything a colander is designed for. Tested with a magnet to make sure is really is stainless steel and not just plated. As advertised, solid stainless steel all the way. Good product for the money, should last a long time.

Great, easy strainer for pasta

Works perfectly

This is a nice colander, sturdy and big. Recommend
