Round Shape Stainless Steel multi Strainer With Handle

Description:

This is a deep, bowl-shaped kitchen sieve, typically used for straining liquids from solids or rinsing food. The sides and bottom are perforated with small, uniform holes to allow water or other liquids to drain quickly while retaining the food inside. It has a sturdy rim and two small handles on the sides for easy lifting and carrying. The bottom rests on three small feet to keep the bowl elevated and ensure liquids can drain completely without being blocked by the counter surface.

Material: It is made from stainless steel.

Feature: Stainless steel is prized in the kitchen because it's highly durable, rust-resistant, and non-reactive, meaning it won't impart a metallic taste to food, nor will it corrode when exposed to acidic ingredients.

Perforated Design: The bowl features numerous small, punched holes (rather than a mesh screen).

Feature: This provides faster, more efficient drainage than a fine mesh, especially for larger items. It's also easier to clean than a fine mesh strainer, as food particles are less likely to get trapped.

Stability: The inclusion of feet provides stability and elevates the strainer off the counter.

Feature: This allows for hands-free drainage and keeps the food out of the strained liquid.

Handles: The handles make it easy to grip and transport, even when full and hot.

The primary purpose of the colander is to separate liquids from solids in food preparation.

Common uses include:

Draining Pasta: Quickly separating boiling water from cooked spaghetti, noodles, or macaroni.

Rinsing Produce: Washing fruits (as shown with the peaches/nectarines in the image), vegetables, and salad greens.

Washing Grains and Legumes: Rinsing rice, quinoa, beans, or lentils before cooking.

Draining Canned Goods: Removing the packing liquid or brine from canned items like corn, chickpeas, or tuna.

General Straining: Draining liquids from boiled or steamed vegetables.
