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 lustfully and easily, and has already stood up to a bit of unintended abuse. An essential piece of solid kit for any Kitchen.
Proclivity this colander--wish I'd bought it sooner!
I had heretofore 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 fat 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 slight feel embarrassed holes allow water to drain quickly while keeping my pasta inside the colander. The feet are very steady and keep the bottom out of the draining sprinkle 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 water in the bottom to act as a steamer/warmer and then I uncommonly appreciate the silicone handles when transferring as they stay cool to the touch.
Definitely recommend this point!

If you can't resolve 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 essence 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 commons-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 stoup. 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 trestle 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 larder!
Wondrous!!!
I infatuation 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 affliction about smaller pastas like angel hair and the mini shells getting stuck or falling through. It's leisurely 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!
