We Stand Behind our Products
All of our products have been extensively tested in our kitchens to ensure that we are bringing our customers the best value possible. We have run our turners through the dishwasher hundreds of times before marking them dishwasher safe, and have cooked with our silicone utensils for years to verify their durability. Each detail is scrutinized and revamped by both our employees (and their families), so we are confident that we bring you the best possible products.

Our Story
Chef Craft was founded in 1985 by Peter Ernster. It was passed down the family through the generations. We have kept the same vision as the beginning: bringing our customers the best value based products that we can. Today, it means shifting towards sourcing products made with more sustainable materials like bamboo and wheat straw.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023I had a similar model for years, but the holes on the bottom had small holes that were difficult to clean. This model has perfect sized holes for pasta. Drains well and so easy to clean. Perfect replacement for my previous strainer.
Worth the price and a wonderful product. Fast shipping and so glad I purchased this strainer. Thanks.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024This collander is very good at what it does I mean its job is very simple right? The only bad thing I can say about it is that the edges of it are very sharp where it was punched out of the extrusion machine I would imagine but other than that it's a very good item and it works well. Very large too which I really like that

- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2018Last year, I started a monthly cooking challenge that had me making new recipes each month. That led me to upgrading much of my kitchen equipment or buying new stuff (like a dutch oven).
As I look to redo the challenge for this year, I realized there are still some additions needed. Specifically, I needed a new colander.
My decades old colander, handed down from Mom, has been a trusty green friend for a long time, Alas, it has a small break in the bottom, so I need a younger companion.
Step right up with this perfectly sized and well-made colander. It's a large size (5-qt.) because, well, you just can't have too much room in your colander.
I have always preferred plastic to metal colanders for durability, flexibility and ease of cleaning. The colander arrived this morning and I wanted to test it right away and, lo, there be broccoli.
That's two big heads of broccoli in there and obviously plenty of room to spare.
My only concern was the size of the holes, which are difficult to judge from the Amazon image. I needed one that could safely handle the small elbow macaroni for my regionally-famous 7-cheese macaroni and cheese.
Upon seeing it in person, I feel pretty confident, but maybe I should just whip up a batch to test it. Right after my upcoming annual physical and blood tests. No need to spike the cholesterol before then!
I am completely satisfied, bordering on delighted, with this colander to fit my kitchen and the price was exceptional to fit my budget.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2021I bought this to wash and rinse bird bath stones when cleaning the baths so I was very happy to find it to be quite sturdy. It has holes that are a bit larger than mu other kitchen strainers so might not be good for spaghetti rinsing but would be great for washing/rinsing veggies. I only use it for cleaning my bird stuff but would buy another if needed for use in the kitchen.
