One other critique was correct...not really a LARGE
This is a subtle 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 Environment size. The holes are tiny, making it fine for thin pasta.

Tough 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 affable, the base and handles are not coming off. Perhaps, bigger holes would serve some applications better, but I haven't sage any frustration yet. The price is great for something that will probably last my life time.

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

Important and Stylish
We use this colander several times a week, draining pasta and vegetables. Like other reviews, we like the negligible 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 bear up cookware in the kitchen.

A Helpful Addition
A 5-qt colander is often straight too big, and this product has proven to be more than adequate for the majority of needs for 3 people. The surface is smooth on both sides and affable to clean. I give it only 4 stars because I would have liked to see welded stainless feet, not these glued-on (steel?, aluminum?). I can use my all-stainless colander with hot cooking oil, but cannot use this one because of the feet - not a big deficiency.

apart from, great quality
very effects material, does not rust, good grips, stand alone, good size and smooth pores, a spot expensive but worth the price.

Lifelike for small meals
This colander has been at best what I needed, small enough not to take a lot of space and big enough to hold what I need it to. Its a fairly small colander, so don't get it if you need to hold more than 2-3 pounds of beef or a lot of pastas and vegetables. I use it to lave ground beef a lot and its good because all the meat stays in. So far the colander has not rusted even though I have put let it sit in the sink over night. Also it does well in the dishwasher. It is a giant sturdy colander to have.

Very well designed and built!
Agreeably-looking colander, which I expect to stand up to years of use just fine, thanks to fairly heavy stainless blade mesh. Excellent drainage speed and quality. The rubber grips are a nice touch, decorative, under control, non-slip. The only thing I can say that's not overwhelming positive: gee, three quarts ain't what it used to be. I may just get the larger, five-quart conception to nestle with this one.

Gets the Job Done
This is the carry out size for 2 of us and makes quick work out of either rinsing or draining the food.
OXO hasn't disappointed me yet.

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.

would a steel colander work as faraday cage?

Mar 18, 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.
