    Great sturdy strainer. Our last strainer was plastic and end up breaking. This size is perfect and will definitely last a long time!
  • Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2025
    I’ve bought 2 different colanders trying to find the best one and had to return them and finally… EUREKA ! The 3rd time was the charm! This is it!

    We make broccoli casserole a lot and, as you know when you make casseroles like that., you have to cook the veggies until very soft so they’ll smush easily. It’s been about impossible to get the cooked broccoli of the little holes before

    I’ve bought the silicone collapsible one and the holes are too tiny to drain well and you have to squeeze the sides together and pour out the water. I’ve bought the over the sink one and it took me 10 minutes to spray and brush the broccoli out of the little wire holes! At last I got this one. And it’s perfect!

    The holes are plentiful, well placed and the perfect size for draining quickly and big enough that broccoli doesn’t get stuck in them. I love the little stand on the bottom that fits perfectly over a bowl if you want to drain something and keep the juices. Or you can sit in the sink to drain something with the food in the colander touching the sink through the bottom of it

    It’s very well made and just the right size and weight! Yesterday, I made pork tenderloin in the crockpot and it had some clumpy fats that had cooked off and I didn’t want that, but wanted to keep the juices. I put this over a bowl drained it perfectly and kept just the juice to put over the meat.

    I love everything about it! You won’t go wrong buying if

    If you're tired of flimsy colanders that wobble, tip, or clog up with water, this is the upgrade you didn’t know you needed. The ExcelSteel Heavy Duty Colander is truly in a class of its own.
    From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell it was solid — the stainless steel feels substantial without being overly heavy, and the craftsmanship is excellent. The heavy-duty handles are securely riveted (no fear of them popping off under a load of pasta or veggies), and the self-draining solid ring base is an absolute game-changer. It keeps the colander stable on the sink or counter without tipping or shifting — even when I'm rinsing heavy potatoes or pouring in a full pot of pasta water.
    Another huge win: the perforations are perfectly sized and distributed for quick, efficient draining — no standing water at the bottom, no frustration. Plus, the 5-quart capacity is ideal for everything from washing fruits to draining big batches of spaghetti for family dinners.
    Bottom line: If you want a colander that’s sturdy, smartly designed, and will probably outlive your kitchen, don’t think twice. This is a must-have tool for any serious (or casual) home cook.
    Highly, highly recommend!
  • Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2024
    I was looking for a colander that could sit inside the kitchen sink for cleaning meat or vegetables without allowing dirty water to re-enter. Most other products sit too low, but this one has a raised base, keeping it above the bottom of the sink. It effectively prevents water from coming back inside, which is exactly what I needed.

    The size, quality, and overall design are excellent, and it works perfectly for my needs. I’m very happy with this purchase, and my wife loves it too. Definitely worth buying!

    This strainer is good quality and I like that it’s stainless steel instead of plastic. I’ve recently replaced all my kitchenware with stainless steel or glass cause it’s healthier. It’s lightweight and easy to move around too.

    It’s a good size for straining a variety of different things, such as pasta. It’s easy to clean and is good value.

    I needed a round strainer and this totally fits the bill. The handles are nice for picking it up and it has a base to help it stand flat. It's actually kind of light weight which works well for me.
