This strainer was a quick purchase since I needed a quick replacement. Pleasantly surprised at the quality and size of this stainer. The material is durable, as I've dropped it a few times. (Whoops) Still no dents. It's very versatile, I use it for not just pasta but for rinsing my berries. Really berries are the main use since I soak then in vinegar and water. The stainer is big enough to fit nearly 4 packs of strawberries in. The drain holes are in patterns which gives it a cute look, with great drainage!

My wife and I have been steadily replacing everything related to food or cooking that is made of plastic with either metal or glass. Too many toxins and micro-plastics!

This metal colander is great, it feels very sturdy and it is super easy to clean. Plus no micro plastics or chemicals leaching into your food! What else can I say? A great purchase!

Okay, it’s not plastic. So I’m happy. But they could’ve put more holes in the bottom of it… that’s what he said. It drains slow, that’s what she said. But it gets the job done. That’s what they both said.
