304 Stainless Steel Microporous Colander, 3.5QT Large Capacity with Mixing Bowl For washing vegetables fruit and rice and for draining cooked pasta(2PC)

I bought these to replace the plastics ones I had because I’m worried about all the risks with microplastics. These are definitely pricier but you get what you pay for. I’m impressed by the quality: sturdy, nice finish, just the perfect size. They look indestructible. To verify that they are actually made with 304 food grade stainless steel, I tested them with a magnet. The weak magnetic pull confirms they are authentic 304-grade, so they are food-safe, corrosion-resistant, and perfect for all kitchen tasks. Highly recommend for anyone trying to reduce microplastics in their kitchen and food.

I love this because it’s everything that I look for in a small colander at a great value! It’s made of string metal and made well, no delay in draining, perfect for washing fruits, small veggies, basically for a single person/2 person use or for smaller items in general. I have been using it consistently nearly daily for the last few months, and there is no issues with rust or anything, and for me, the best part is that it is super easy to clean! It still looks as good as new with all the use! Another great thing about the size is that it can be easily stored in a drawer versus taking up a ton of space elsewhere. Overall, I 1000% would recommend this and will definitely be buying another one in the future as a gift and if I ever need to replace this!

I reluctantly bought this. I did have a larger than usual batch of berries to clean, though. Later, I wanted to soak a small batch of beans. I never rinsed rice before, always throwing it into my soups. I still don't. This colander is excellent for all I need to do, and washes easily. It's easier to deal with than the mesh strainers that I have to be careful with. I don't worry about any rust developing, thanks to its construction.

This is a product that I've needed for a long time. I use it for washing veggies, fruits, lettuce, etc. I purchased the large one and at first I thought it was too big ... but am now glad I have it. It is so functional that I will be purchasing additional sizes. This is a very functional, practicable product that is well made. It is of good quality and has some heft to it, which is good. I especially like the fact that it is NOT plastic. It is also keeps me from splashing water on me, or spilling it on the counters, floor, etc. I also appreciate the fact that it has not rusted. This is a product that I use frequently and would definably repurchase .... and will!

I’d really like to give it 3.5 stars. I like the colander-in-bowl design. It feels well made and sturdy. I haven’t used it yet, but it seems like a nice product. My big issue is that the size is a little larger than advertised. I was looking for a small stainless steel colander. This one (1.5 qt) was the maximum size that I wanted as described in “product dimensions”. However, it’s a little taller and a bit wider than was described. For most people, this probably isn’t a big deal, but since it was already at the maximum size I wanted for my uses, I am considering whether I want to keep it or not. For reference, inner diameter is 7” and outer diameter is 7.75” (advertised is 6.6”) The height of one bowl is just over the advertised 3”, but when stacked, the whole product is 4”. The other thing faulty about the design is that water will pool in the rim if washed in the dishwasher. I worry about this leading to rust over time. This really does look like a nice set, but I just wanted to share the facts with other potential purchasers.

This is good size for rinsing rice. That is the reason I got it. I got the one that had a black outter bowl and it looks very nice. The holes could be a little smaller to make sure no particles of rice stick in it. It is not a heavy weight stainless steel. It is very light. The bottom would make a nice serving bowl. The two bowls do have a snug fit when the strainer bowl is placed within the other. I also ordered the larger set in stainless steel. I tried to write a separate review on it but this one keeps coming up so I will review it along with this one. It seems to be a little heavier in feel making me fell it has a better quality to it. Both the strainer and the putter bowl have a handle on each side that will make it easier to use. The strainer bowl have 3 protrusions on it to insure the rinse water moves more freely. They are a nice size. The outer bowl did hav a couple of scratches on it out of the box but are small, and a few smudged spots. I think I probably should have gotten a colored set for this size also. This also makes me think you cannot use metal utensils on them. Not sure that it would stand up to much heat. I like the large size as well as the smaller size. Update: The more I use this the more I like it. If the need arises I will definitely reorder. This would make a nice gift for people that use rice a lot. Highly recommend.

Good for making small portion of kimchi and wash vegetables.

Gekauft für Reis, leider nicht fein genug damit die Körner nicht stecken bleiben Allerdings komm ich mit den Schüsseln dennoch gut zurecht Schüsseln sind schön stabil.

Very nice and usable product for single/small families to use in the kitchen room.
