Grievous Gift, Great colander
My missus is an avid cook and baker. She goes through colanders very frequently because she usually buys low quality cheap ones that do not stand up to her needs. I purchased this for her after reading the reviews and she loves it. The thing can even strain jasmine rice! It is astonishing. My wife is in love with the colander and it won me some brownie points to!

Cartilaginous, Well Made
OXO knows what they're doing with most pantry 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 lasting and easily, and has already stood up to a bit of unintended abuse. An essential piece of solid kit for any Kitchen.

Attraction 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 monumental 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 negligible holes allow water to drain quickly while keeping my pasta inside the colander. The feet are very boyfriend 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 soak 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 be in the same league.

Definitely recommend this item!

Exultant, Happy, Happy
On the unexpectedly of the moment I decided to order these colanders to share with the family for Christmas. I was most pleasantly surprised when notification came saying it would hit town before Christmas, as I had ordered late. ALSO much to my surprise the colanders CAME just as the notification had said. Have hand-me-down them numerous times since the holiday and feel this purchase was definitely worth every penny I spend.

Don't rob your money
These are cunning, but there aren't enough holes in the bottom and the water pools. I'm sending them back.

I paramour these!
I undeniably like this set. The three different sizes are perfect sizes for whatever you'll need.

They're not heavy, they stack well, the are footed so the strainer stays off the bottom of the lavabo, and there are plenty of drain holes.

I highly recommend these colanders.

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

2. As the water comes to a boil, skim away any soap up that rises to the surface . Adjust the heat once a boil is reached so that a slow, lazy simmer is established. Hiding-place partially and simmer for 2 hours, skimming as often as necessary.

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

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

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

6. If you are using the broth nobility away, skim off any fat on the surface.

would a steel colander work as faraday cage?

Mar 21, 1930 by misterlyle | Posted in Engineering

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

It is imaginable... but it will depend on how your colander is. Actually, the internal metal lining of most consumer electronics, as well as the metal instance 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.

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

That's not what you call to avoid static damage to computer components. What you need is adequate grounding, so that no static electric possible 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 need 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 believe in] or simply tape the uninsulated ends of a piece of wire to your body and to the metal on the computer (3) become successful 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 informative 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 blow anything inside the computer, or before you touch any removed component. Avoid touching the pins inside connectors and the metal parts of orbit 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 combination 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 wise/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 exchange 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**************

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

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