DLD Stainless Steel Micro-Perforated 5-Quart Colander - Professional Strainer with Heavy Duty Handles and Self-draining Solid Ring Base - Dishwasher Safe

Good quality and size. After our plastic one broke, I went with this one and it's perfect, it drains fast and is big enough for big pasta dishes.Only one thing I had trouble with was removing the manufacturer sticker and glue off the bottom middle.Recommendation for some Goo Gone solution and a cloth before using it.

Good size for draining washed vegetables or cooked food. Sturdy but light in weight and easy to handle. Sits on sturdy base. Still new but looks like it will be easy to clean and that food particles are unlikely to get imbedded in the holes. Looks good on the counter as well.

This is a wonderful addition to my kitchen tools and a welcome replacement to an very old well-used colander. A first look at it right out of the package gets a WOW! It is large at 5 quarts (about 11 inches wide), solid high quality stainless steel with handles large enough to really get a good grip. And it has holes not too large and not too small. A fine first rate product. A colander is an essential kitchen gadget used nearly every day for cleaning vegetables or draining any number of foods so it needs to be sturdy and able to last a long time. If it looks great as well, that's a bonus; certainly this colander passes all those tests.  Premium Stainless Steel Colander - Heavy Duty Micro-perforated 5-Quart Strainer with Hanging Handles and quick-draining Solid Round Base

As a colander, it performs it's job well and functions great. However, the biggest issue I have with this is with how hard it is to clean if you do not have a dishwasher. Being as it's majority holes, small bits and pieces of food can easily get stuck in the various holes, and it's not easy to scrub them out. It's basically a giant screen/net and cleaning such a porous surface compared to a smooth one is quite a bit more difficult. But that being said, it is a durable and great colander that performs its job/function well. I just hate cleaning this thing.

I bought one of these for myself several years ago and have been very pleased with it. Nice weight, sturdy, dishwasher safe, nice-sized holes. I like the fact that there holes all over the colander. Bought another one for my son who is setting up an apartment.

This strainer has been so helpful to have during canning and freezing season. We can boil the water and put our veggies in the strainer and put them down into the pot of boiling water. We can then lift them out and into cold water for blanching. We can do the next batch without having to boil a whole new pot of water. This has saved us such time, and water too! This strainer is sturdy and well made. The feet on the bottom are also sturdy. It is just the right size too. I am so glad that I chose this one.

Decent collander, but contrary to the marketing you can't wash rice (at least Jasmin rice) in it usefully; the grains get stuck in the holes.

Absolutely love this strainer! Used it for washing my rice and the wholes are small enough that the rice can't escape, but the water drains quickly!

Muy util

Yes, this is what I wanted; something that would drain well and it does.

Good Quality.

Dice Acero inolvidable, pero las partes donde vienen soldadas si se oxidó
