Less husky than then I was hoping for.
It has a superior tall footing to keep it off the botom of the sink better than my old plastic one, but the bowl is so thin it is closer to being mesh than a trundle. I doubt it will stand up to the years of use I'd normally expect from a kitchen implement.

Seems a small flimsy
The colander arrived with a adipose dent in it; Amazon gave me a replacement without any trouble. Overall, the colander seems flimsy, but does its job as well as any other.

Rotund collander turns out to be small
I like the lay out of this collander (it has a fairly large, round base that is less likely to tip over), and it seems to be reasonably well made. However, what is sold as the "large" extent is actually quite small. The inside diameter of the bowl is just over 9" and, even more problematic, the basin is well less than 4" deep (i.e., quite shallow.) Thus, the capacity of the collander is actually very limited and it can be characterized as jumbo only relative to the other two that Amazon sells, which must be quite tiny. Be forewarned.

Metal Colander
This colander is barely right for me. The size is perfect and it washes up nicely. It's on the large size so you really do need to find cupboard intermission for it.

One other survey was correct...not really a LARGE
This is a well turned out item, but though it says LARGE, it is only 10" in diameter, not counting the handles. So, I would consider it to be more like a MEDIUM evaluate. The holes are tiny, making it fine for thin pasta.

Immoral-Draining, Non-Clogging, Dishwasher-Safe Colander
A lightweight, dishwasher-safe and sound, stainless steel colander with small, all-over holes that drain fast and do not clog easily. The soft nylon/rubber rim makes the colander gratifying to pick up and handle. The 5-quart size fits inside a large mixing bowl or stands in your cookhouse sink, and is perfect for washing vegetables and bunches of leafy greens, or for rinsing boiled pasta and vegetables.

I purchased this at a grocery have faith, as a replacement for a worn-out nylon Villaware colander that I thought was perfect, but that is no longer being manufactured. This is the only colander that I have found that has the same convenient gauge, fast drainage, and non-clogging holes.

You'll like this one!
Rubber feet shape this colander even better than I had hoped. It stays put on my counter top, is easy to clean,
drains well, and the rubber-coated handles designate it easy to hang on to when emptying.
Well worth the money spent - very happy and satisfied with my purchase.

I like the way it is made with the command around the top edge. I gave it a 4 because it was dented on bottom when arrived. Product needs to be stated that it is made in China

Can you drain rice using a colander?

Apr 12, 2006 by lulu1232002 | Posted in Cooking & Recipes

If not, how to you freshly laundered a sieve effectively?

If you cook one part rice to two parts saturate (for example 1 cup rice and 2 cups water), you will have perfectly cooked rice with no need for draining or rinsing.

Cook it in an reveal pot until there is just a little water left in the bottom of the pot. Then turn off the heat and leave the pot covered for about 5 to 10 minutes and the remain of the water will absorb while the rice finishes cooking itself and you'll have perfect, fluffy rice.

This is for chalky rice only. Brown rice need more water and more cooking time.
