Hard, Well Made
OXO knows what they're doing with most caboose 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 tightly and easily, and has already stood up to a bit of unintended abuse. An essential piece of solid kit for any Kitchen.
Pleasure this colander--wish I'd bought it sooner!
I had then 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 good 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 immature holes allow water to drain quickly while keeping my pasta inside the colander. The feet are very persistent 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 deuterium oxide 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 move.

Definitely recommend this item!

Caboose workhorse
If you can't settle on whether to get the 3 or 5 quart Oxo colander, ask yourself if you ever cook a pound of pasta. If so, make sure to order the 5 quart! The 5 quart colander, to me, is not too big at all. In effect nothing slips through the holes, and it is easy to clean. I would not recommend using the dishwasher, as it can picks up little bits of nutriment-uggh! It has a good height, and the food doesn't escape over the top. It has proven very sturdy, even after I have abused it by slinging it into the founder. I feel almost guilty about not giving it a five star rating. I wish the handles were larger. If you are not very careful, your knuckles will relaxation against the hot colander. To me, it's not that easy to get a good grip on a heavy colander without resting your knuckles against the metal. A great addition to any scullery!
Stunning!!!
I ardour just about everything Oxo makes, but this is quite possibly my favorite piece. It easily holds a pound of pasta or several pounds of potatoes, and I don't have to peeve about smaller pastas like angel hair and the mini shells getting stuck or falling through. It's amicable to clean even without a dishwasher, and it sits nicely in the sink and doesn't try to tip over when I pour things into it. Love it!

One other evaluation was correct...not really a LARGE
This is a delightfully 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 Course size. The holes are tiny, making it fine for thin pasta.
geat range and stainless
Grievous for draining hot pasta, without worrying about plastic. Nice size, easy to store.
Well-built 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 congenial, the base and handles are not coming off. Perhaps, bigger holes would serve some applications better, but I haven't capable any frustration yet. The price is great for something that will probably last my life time.
Enduring, Well Built
A agreeable colander, lots of little holes yet surprisingly solid and well built. Would like a little more capacity though.
Practical and Stylish
We use this colander several times a week, draining pasta and vegetables. Like other reviews, we like the lesser 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 knife cookware in the kitchen.

Can you drain rice using a colander?

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.


Does anyone have a good way to wash your colander?
