Designed for everyday kitchen tasks, the strainer is built from 18/8 stainless steel with a rust resistant construction that handles frequent use in busy homes. The outer rim and base provide a stable frame, while the mesh netting is supported by firm wire along the sides to keep its shape during pouring and draining. It comes in 3-practical sizes to fit different pots and bowls: large 5 qt. medium 4 qt. and small 3 qt. for a range of cooking needs and easy storage. This colander basket drains and washes a variety of foods, including pasta, vegetables, grains, and produce, and can rinse flour, sugar, or rice. In a pot it can steam vegetables, fry foods, or simply rinse ingredients before cooking, making cleanup straightforward and allowing hands off preparation when needed. The design allows nesting for space saving in cupboards, and it is easy to clean, with dishwasher safe components for convenient maintenance. Overall, this tool supports common kitchen prep tasks by enabling effective drainage and handling of ingredients without adding extra steps to your routine. The metal is BPA free and does not impart flavors, helping preserve the natural state of foods. Its simple design minimizes corners where residue can collect. Color: Silver.
