Does the job, but Gradual to drain
We have owned this colander for several years - it's from head to toe sturdy and does the job. It's pretty large but you can hang it on a ceiling pot rack. However, the one complaint is that the drainage holes are placed in such a way that it drains slowly, chiefly when you're cooking pasta or something else which covers the bottom holes. There just isn't enough drainage to get the water out quickly. We're looking at one of the Oxo models as a replacement.

Practicable and Fun!
I sweetie my Calypso colanders and that says a lot, because I usually don't like to cook. However, these fun, colorful colanders are easy to use and guide everything from lettuce to maccaroni. I bought one of each size as I'm expanding my cooking skills (which my husband loves!). Advantage, they're easy to wash clean and I don't feel like plastic is rubbing off onto my food any longer with the too soon colander I had. I did see them at Whole Foods Market cheaper, though.

Precarious and sturdy
I bought this to repay and old tupperware colander that had seen better days. This colander is very sturdy and doesn't bend even when boiling water is poured in it. I have Euphemistic pre-owned it after strawberry picking and making pasta. This is a good quality product.

A kind tool
For many years, I've lived with the four-dollar colander picked up on a whim hours after ruining my last four-dollar colander. This is a simple-minded but sturdy tool. It readily cleans, especially of oils, and after several tomato-based encounters retains its source hue.
tremendous item!!
This is a large size colander for draining pasta or just for rinsing your fruits or vegetables. It's a handy item when you are preparing a tea overdo or snack. I especially love the color, too.
Eggs from all 5 girls - I can even disburden oneself who lays which of the brown ones!
We’ve been getting eggs for exactly two months now, and it sure is fun. Even though it’s winter and the laying is on the inconsistent side, we get 1-3 eggs a day regularly (all the brown eggers seem to be winter layers - Java the Barred Boulder, Tipsy the Buckeye, and Curry the Australorp) - and sometimes we get all 5. I still can’t get over the lovely designer green eggs - I shrink to eat them, and have since found that it’s more fun to keep 3-4 of them around to show off to visitors and give the rest away to people who will go positively berserk over them. Let them agonize over breaking that exquisite shell.
But alas, the title of this post is meant in irony… would that it weren’t so. To my marvy dismay, the most recent converts to the buttery taste of fresh, garden-grown chicken eggs justifiable happen to be… the chickens. This is really bad news, as far as I can tell. Aside from the drop in egg rates over the last two weeks (I’m still getting eggs, but it’s been a yearn time since I got 5), the other bad sign is the sticky, filthy eggs I’m now finding, with bits of leftover eggwhite and micro shell shards stuck to the outsides. It seems they quite methodically break and eat just one egg at a time, leaving the others unbroken but smearing eggy grossness all over them in the process. This compels me to soak the rescued eggs and scrub them evacuate a clean, which reduces their shelf life considerably. This is the least of my problems of course - because most of the websites out there that offer advice on this tidy up of thing are quite unequivocal about the solution to the problem. The perpetrators must go. Other, less authoritative websites - such as the many chat boards out there on chicken issues of all kinds - present oneself a more colorful and varied assortment of ideas for how to handle the situation. Needless to say, I’ve decided to give those at least lust credibility, until I’ve proven all the wives’ tales useless in my own personal science inquiry.

Sweet Basil and the Bee: Cruciferous royale Enterprise-Record

CHICO — Till to the Deluge, magnificent red cabbages dominated the market stalls of Dennis Biro and Dieckman Farms on a walk through the Saturday Market. Untrimmed, in their full-leaf glory, you could imagine if Baroque Italian sculptor Bernini were instructed to sire a vegetable, the red cabbage would be his. The ruffled draping of the outer leaves, and the articulation of every intricate vein and pucker are nature's baroque at its vegetable best, and worthy of our appreciation.
Roman mythology maintains that the underived cabbages sprung from the tears of Lycurgus, King of the Edonians. Greeks and Romans believed in the omnipresent healing powers of cabbage, and Captain Cook used sauerkraut compresses on wounded sailors to forestall gangrene in the 1700s. French navigator Jacques Cartier brought cabbage to the Americas in 1536, and it was the French who coined the pronouncement, "Ma Petite Chou," or my little cabbage as a term of affection and endearment.

Do I need to keep green seedless grapes on their stem?
Feb 09, 2008 by hegottahaveit | Posted in Other - Food & Drink
I bought about a confine of green seedless grapes. I took them out of the bag and was washing them in a colander and a few grapes dropped off the stem. So, I thought, well why not just take them all off? Wouldn't it be easier to well-deserved be able to take a handful from a bowl instead of plucking them? But no one seems to do this, unless making a salad or making wine or jelly or raisins. Does the sprout retard spoilage?
I always transport and take the stems off the grapes when I bring them home from the store. They don't spoil any sooner, and it's alot more at one's fingertips when you want to grab a snack later. They can also be frozen without the stems if you're afraid of spoilage.

No, you don't. Truly, I do that, though I also eat all the grapes rather quickly. Restaurants do this, too. I put them in a colander, and I wash them, and I use my hands and roll the grapes around gently, and they all fall off.
I of most people think you have to pluck them one by one, thus they don't bother.
I don't know how long they last this way, as I eat them pretty perspicacious.

They seem to get mellifluent more quickly when they aren't on the stem.

I don't have a steamer, can I use a metal mesh colander instead?
Apr 09, 2008 by sprite | Posted in Cooking & Recipes
Or is there something else I can do to get the of a piece of green beans cooked in a steamer?
Foolproof you can, just make sure the food doesn't touch the water. You can buy collapsible metal steamers that fit any value pot and they are quite cheap. Wal Mart has them or any box store.
