Constructed from food grade stainless steel 18/8, this colander is BPA free and free of lead and cadmium, designed to resist rust and preserve the flavor of foods. It features a sturdy outer frame and a wide rim at the top as well as a stable base, with a reinforced mesh that maintains shape during use. The handles are riveted to the bowl for durability. The set comes in 5-sizes – 6 qt., 5 qt., 4 qt., 3 qt., and 1.5 qt. - so you can pick the right basket for different tasks, from rinsing produce to draining pasta. The nested design helps save cabinet space when not in use, and the pieces are easy to clean and dishwasher safe. In daily kitchen workflows, the colander can serve for draining vegetables after washing, sifting dry ingredients like flour and rice, and even for light steaming or shallow frying when used in a pot. Whether you are preparing a small family dinner or batch cooking, having multiple sizes lets you choose the appropriate capacity without transferring ingredients between bowls. The durable construction supports frequent use for washing, draining, and cooking tasks across many recipes. Its dependable performance suits everyday meal prep from quick family dinners to larger gatherings at home. Color: Silver.
