Customer Reviews

One other review was right...not really a LARGE
This is a ladylike 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 Average size. The holes are tiny, making it fine for thin pasta.

Powerful and attractive
I've had this colander for a while now and it seems to be holding well. There are no rust spots or discoloration of any well-meaning, the base and handles are not coming off. Perhaps, bigger holes would serve some applications better, but I haven't veteran any frustration yet. The price is great for something that will probably last my life time.

Indomitable, Well Built
A perceptive colander, lots of little holes yet surprisingly solid and well built. Would like a little more capacity though.

Useful and Stylish
We use this colander several times a week, draining pasta and vegetables. Like other reviews, we like the minute holes which is designed for quick and thorough draining without the loss of thin pasta. This colander is hung up with the rest of the stainless bite the bullet cookware in the kitchen.

Grand Gift, Great colander
My partner is an avid cook and baker. She goes through colanders very frequently because she usually buys low quality ductile ones that do not stand up to her needs. I purchased this for her after reading the reviews and she loves it. The thing can even strain jasmine rice! It is staggering. My wife is in love with the colander and it won me some brownie points to!

Laborious, Well Made
OXO knows what they're doing with most scullery accessories. This is no exception. It won't win any style competitions, but its a heavy duty strainer that works for pastas, fruits and veggies. Drains lasting and easily, and has already stood up to a bit of unintended abuse. An essential piece of solid kit for any Kitchen.

Enjoyment this colander--wish I'd bought it sooner!
I had once upon a time used a very old, enamel on steel colander. The best things were its size and its solid ring base; the worst part was it had muscular holes that my thin spaghetti easily slid through into the sink. I decided to replace it with this one and haven't looked back! The numerous humble holes allow water to drain quickly while keeping my pasta inside the colander. The feet are very unchanging and keep the bottom out of the draining water below. Also because the feet are silicone I don't worry about placing the colander with pasta back inside my pot with a little boiling spa water in the bottom to act as a steamer/warmer and then I really appreciate the silicone handles when transferring as they stay cool to the get to.

Definitely recommend this item!

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.
