OXO Good Grips 5-quart Stainless Steel Colander
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!

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!
