Know before you buy
To preserve the finish, hand wash the colander with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that could scratch the surface or strip the natural patina.
Yes, the copper is designed to develop a unique, rich patina as it ages. This is a natural characteristic of the material and adds to the piece's character and vintage aesthetic.
Absolutely. The copper construction is durable and heat-resistant, making it perfectly suitable for draining boiling water from pasta or blanched vegetables.
The colander is designed to be lightweight, which helps with handling. However, because it lacks side handles, you should grip the outer rim firmly when transferring heavy loads of food.
No, this colander is not dishwasher safe. The high heat and harsh detergents used in dishwashers can damage the copper finish and accelerate uneven tarnishing.
