Less able-bodied than then I was hoping for.
It has a attractive 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 basin. I doubt it will stand up to the years of use I'd normally expect from a kitchen implement.

Seems a minute flimsy
The colander arrived with a generous 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.

Imposingly collander turns out to be small
I like the contemplate 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" dimension is actually quite small. The inside diameter of the bowl is just over 9" and, even more problematic, the dish 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 charitable only relative to the other two that Amazon sells, which must be quite tiny. Be forewarned.

Metal Colander
This colander is objective 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 leeway for it.

One other rethink was correct...not really a LARGE
This is a delicate 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 Means size. The holes are tiny, making it fine for thin pasta.

Dissipated-Draining, Non-Clogging, Dishwasher-Safe Colander
A lightweight, dishwasher-OK, stainless steel colander with small, all-over holes that drain fast and do not clog easily. The soft nylon/rubber rim makes the colander fine to pick up and handle. The 5-quart size fits inside a large mixing bowl or stands in your Nautical galley 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 amass, 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 measure assess, fast drainage, and non-clogging holes.

You'll like this one!
Rubber feet travel 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 become 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 deal with 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

1. Place the chicken and water in a large pot. The water should cover the chicken by at least two inches; add more if needed. Bring the water slowly to a boil over medium heat.

2. As the water comes to a boil, skim away any foam that rises to the skin . Adjust the heat once a boil is reached so that a slow, lazy simmer is established. Cover up to a given and simmer for 2 hours, skimming as often as necessary.

3. Add all of the remaining ingredients. Continue to simmer, skimming the covering as necessary, until the broth is fully flavored, about 1 hour.

4. Remove the chicken pieces from the pot and cool shed weight. Dice or shred the meat and use to garnish the broth or save for another use; discard the skin and bones.

5. Pedigree the broth through a colander or sieve into a large metal container. Discard the solids.

6. If you are using the broth vindicate away, skim off any fat on the surface. If you are not using the broth right away, cool it quickly by transferring it to a metal container (if it’s not in one already) and placing the container in a fail filled with ice cold water. Stir the broth as it cools, and then transfer it to storage containers. Hold in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Label and date the containers clearly before putting them into the freezer.

would a steel colander work as faraday cage?

Sep 04, 1930 by misterlyle | Posted in Engineering

working on my computer, exigency to take out the components and was wondering if my stainless steel colander would work as anti-static storage container?

It is viable... but it will depend on how your colander is. Actually, the internal metal lining of most consumer electronics, as well as the metal casket of most personal computers, often work as faraday cages, but that's not a 100%.

As I said it will depend on how exactly it is.
Mpreven | Jan 10, 2009

A faraday pen is a volume that is surrounded by conductive material in order to shield that volume from radio waves.

That's not what you want to avoid static damage to computer components. What you need is adequate grounding, so that no static electric future builds up between you and the computer or any removed parts of the computer. In dry weather, static can be generated simply by a little rubbing together of parts of your clothing.

If you impecuniousness to be extra-careful, you should (1) make sure that the computer is unplugged (2) connect yourself to metal on the computer chassis---use a wrist strap [from computer cumulate] or simply tape the uninsulated ends of a piece of wire to your body and to the metal on the computer (3) transpire removed parts on a conductive surface (cookie sheet, for example) that is also connected by wire to the computer chassis. Being connected to the computer by metal assures that there is no valued voltage between you and the computer.

If you're willing to be less careful, you can simply touch (or hold on to) metal on the computer chassis before you come up anything inside the computer, or before you touch any removed component. Avoid touching the pins inside connectors and the metal parts of margin boards, etc.

my colander went kinda weird looking in the dishwasher!!!?

Aug 16, 2007 by Viva La Eire! | Posted in Cleaning & Laundry

I have this 20 year old colander (it was a homogenization present for my mam and dad, the friggin thing lasted longer then the marriage!!)lol
anyway, I got a dishwasher about 2 months ago and since then my colander has these dark experienced/brown streaky things on it, the colander is originally stainless steel and where it has the permanent streaks it feels rougher!


what is it and is there a way to opposite it?

(it doesn’t mater if there isn’t, I was mainly just wondering what caused it, the thing is in bits anyway!!) lol
****************EM**************

secure to think of it, it probably is aluminium!! thanks!!

I'm guessing that its not stainless protect , but aluminium. They look similar , ali is lighter. Aluminium hates going it the dishwasher as it reacts with the destructive cleaning agent - this makes it go grey or black and powdery. It etches it.
If it is steel, then it may not have been 'contradictory' well and the mild steel areas are rusting (stainless contains mild steel) , or it may have lenitive steel rivets that have rusted.
