Know before you buy
Yes, the stoneware construction provides a solid, weighted base that prevents the colander from tipping over while you are rinsing produce or draining pasta.
Absolutely. The Mila colander is fully dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean after everyday use.
The matte white glaze is durable and designed for kitchen use, but like any light-colored ceramic, it is best to rinse it promptly after straining vibrant foods like berries or tomato sauce to maintain its pristine appearance.
The holes are precisely sized to allow for efficient drainage while ensuring that smaller items like grapes or cherry tomatoes remain securely inside the bowl.
While the stoneware is durable and crafted for daily tasks, it is still a ceramic material. It is sturdy enough for regular kitchen use, but it should be handled with the same care you would use for your favorite ceramic mixing bowls.
