Know before you buy
The colander is crafted from high-quality, heavy-gauge stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. With proper care and regular cleaning, it will maintain its finish and performance over time.
Yes, the sturdy pedestal base is designed to keep the colander elevated and stable on your countertop or in the sink. This prevents it from tipping over, even when filled with a full 5-quart load of pasta or produce.
The colander features graduated, perforated holes designed for rapid drainage. While they are perfect for standard pasta and larger produce, very small grains like orzo or tiny berries may pass through the holes.
This colander is fully dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. However, hand washing with mild soap and a soft cloth is always a safe option if you want to preserve the polished finish for longer.
With dimensions of 13.4 x 10.4 x 6.3 inches, it is sized to handle large batches while remaining manageable. Its streamlined design allows it to nest easily with other bowls or sit neatly on a shelf.
