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!

Very sturdy, well constructed, nice handles. I bought this for work, needed a durable metal strainer for straining out our material. Hopefully this is the last one we need, the plastic ones break in one use sometimes.

I was surviving with a small plastic colander my roommate has. Drove me nuts. This is a good big metal colander. My only critique is I wish it had a few more holes in the base area. Doesn't always drain completely.

A great value and it gets the job done!

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

When our plastic colander broke, we turned to Amazon in order to find something a bit sturdier. I read many of the reviews and chose this product. It's very sturdy and the holes are spread apart where it allows for easy draining without losing any pasta. I used to have to worry about my pasta falling out of my old colander, but not this one! I like the sturdy flat bottom that rests nicely in my sink to allow for me to pour my pasta in without trying to juggle the colander as well to keep it straight.

As others have said, the water will tend to pool at the bottom of your sink due to the lack of bottom holes. To me, that's the one thing I would improve, but it's not a deal breaker. I just lift the colander up and shake out all of the water. All in all, this is a good product and I am satisfied with my purchase.

I purchased this item at full price.

Love this colander

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024

Verified Purchase

I got this colander due to it being stainless steel. The one we had, had a blue coating on it that started to peel off and make its way into our food. It arrived and was a bit bigger than the one it replaced, but I loved that it was bigger. We use it to clean our vegetables before preparing them for the air fryer, and now we can clean more vegetables at one time, instead of several tries. It is easy to clean as well.
