The Best Colander
January 24, 2026
A 5-quart stainless steel colander with non-slip handles and an elevated base. The perforations are sized to drain liquids quickly while keeping small foods from falling through.
The elevated feet keep food from sitting in water at the bottom of the sink.
Usage
Use for draining pasta, washing vegetables, and rinsing canned goods.
Cleaning
Dishwasher safe. The stainless steel won’t stain or absorb odors.
