Know before you buy
Yes, it is perfectly sized for a standard pint or carton of berries. Its 9-inch diameter provides ample space for small batches of fruit or vegetables without being bulky.
The porcelain enamel is fused to a steel base, making it quite durable for everyday kitchen use. Like all enamelware, it is resistant to stains and scratches, but it should be handled with care to avoid impact against hard surfaces.
The colander is designed to be compact and lightweight, so you can easily grip the sides. Because it features a flat base, it also sits securely in the sink, allowing you to rinse hands-free if preferred.
While the enamel finish is durable, hand washing is recommended to maintain the luster and integrity of the porcelain coating over time.
The perforated drainage style is designed for standard produce rinsing. While it works perfectly for strawberries, raspberries, and vegetables, very small items like individual blueberries may occasionally pass through depending on the size of the perforations.
