Immorally-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 outgoing to pick up and handle. The 5-quart size fits inside a large mixing bowl or stands in your kitchenette 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 set aside, 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 volume, fast drainage, and non-clogging holes.

You'll like this one!
Rubber feet certify 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 fashion it easy to hang on to when emptying.
Well worth the money spent - very happy and satisfied with my purchase.

colander
I like the way it is made with the comprehension 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

Less sinewy than then I was hoping for.
It has a hairy 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 baby flimsy
The colander arrived with a humongous 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.

Staggering collander turns out to be small
I like the plan 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" scope is actually quite small. The inside diameter of the bowl is just over 9" and, even more problematic, the basin 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 in a body only relative to the other two that Amazon sells, which must be quite tiny. Be forewarned.

Metal Colander
This colander is just licit 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 place for it.

One other go over again was correct...not really a LARGE
This is a exquisite 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 Device size. The holes are tiny, making it fine for thin pasta.

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. 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 den of iniquity filled with ice cold water. Stir the broth as it cools, and then transfer it to storage containers. Set aside 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, 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.
