ExcelSteel Heavy Duty Handles and Self-draining Solid Ring Base Stainless Steel Colander, 5 Qt, Stainless (Pack of 1)

Muy buen escurridor, el tamaño es grande, al ser de acero no hay inconveniente de que pudiera oxidarse, el material es de buen resistencia, llevo varios meses usándolo y el cuidado adecuado no se maltrata, producto recomendable.

A colander with a handle is such a simple idea...and such a good one. You can rinse your fruits and veggies and only need one hand to hold the thingy, leaving the other free to turn the tap on and off, wave at a neighbor through the kitchen window, shoo the cat, or whatever you like. There is another handle...the usual little grip-style, on the opposite side, so when you're dealing with something heavy, like when draining a big bunch of cooked pasta, you can use two hands for added stability. The colander has a nice wide ring base, so it won't tilt if you place it in the sink. How frustrating is it to watch a portion of spaghetti or those expensive out of season blueberries toddle down the drain when your draining or rinsing! The ExcelSteel Colander is nice looking too. If you have one of those kitchen racks, you could certainly mount this there. The handle does mean it takes up a little more storage room than the ordinary short handled variety, but that's a small price to pay for the added convenience. Speaking of small prices, that $17.17 price tag for the 3 quart size isn't exactly tiny. For some reason the 5-quart version is, as of this writing, about $4 cheaper, at a bargain price of $13.47. The 3 quart is fine for my purposes, but I cook for one or two most of the time. But if you want the most bang for your buck, or have a larger group sitting around your kitchen table, opting for the bigger and less expensive version makes sense. It's not so much bigger that it's going pose a greater storage problem. My grandmother, who came from Poland, spoke very little English. When her colander broke, she trudged to the store and, not seeing what she needed, asked the man for a "Noodle Stop, Water Go." He figured it out.

Good product

This is exactly what I needed during these cover days of washing everything and anything! It is a large size and just exactly what I needed. Nice stainless steel and perfect weight! Not too heavy and not flimsy either! I certainly recommend it to anyone who needs a larger size Colandar.

This colander is fantastic! The stainless steel feels very heavy-duty and durable, and the 5-quart size is perfect for all my cooking needs. I love the easy-grip handles, they make it comfortable to use and hold even when it’s full of pasta or vegetables.. The self draining base works perfectly, so I don’t have to worry about water pooling, and the mirror-polished finish makes it look sleek in my kitchen. It’s also dishwasher safe, which is a huge plus for easy cleanup. Overall, a high-quality, practical colander that I’ll use for years!
