Review (rating: 5):
Bought both the size 5 and 7. I use BOTH frequently, but size 7 is the one I use almost daily. I scoop vegetables, ravioli and pot stickers out of
boiling water safely with the size 7 (to avoid the breakage caused when you dump in a colander)!! The 7 fits in most pots despite the size. I like the size 5 for the frying pans and deep fryer to keep the breading intact or scooping seafood quickly. The wooden handles are long so you can avoid the hot steam and oil! No more carrying dangerously heavy hot pots to the sink. The strainers are sturdy with handles that are very secure. I don't store them in drawers. I like them handy in the counter tool caddy near the range...they clear the cabinets easily.

I like this steamer for the price. The main pot is not heavy so I would not use it for making things that sit on the bottom of the pot like chili as it might burn . However for anything that will be boiling with lots of liquid, it will work great. An unexpected bonus was the little colander. It is perfect for small projects. I use that more that anything else,

Like another reviewer, I bought this item specifically to wash rice. I tried many other methods while waiting on this strainer to arrive. Trust me, this is the way to go. I love the feet that allow it to set balanced in the sink. The rubber handles are also great for grip. Another main reason for choosing this particular item was the higher quality steel it is made with. I didn't want one that would rust. So far, so good.

It's just a funnel with a strainer, so how could it not work? The finish is good, and it seems to wash up well after use. None of the reds we drink have stained the funnel
Oxo Good Grips Stainless Steel Colander

Review (rating: 5):
Great quality.
perfect for macaroni, as the holes aren't large enough to let the noodles slip through.
Also, it might be useful as a weapon, assuming you needed one...
You could probably... probably crush someone's skull in with a forceful swing if it came to that.
just kidding. it's pretty lightweight.
Precision Pierced Stainless Steel Colander 5 Qt
Average Customer Rating: 4.5
Review (rating: 4):
Every once in a while, something will come along that represents such a brilliant re-implementation of a basic tool that it makes you wonder why on earth it wasn't done that way in the first place--or at least why it took so long to change. This colander does that for me.
This is the first durable colander I've seen that has incorporated the rapid drain ability of a sieve (the other way around, a self-standing, largish-capacity sieve, is an old idea). While I agree that this is the best small-capacity colander ever, there is room for improvement.
PROS:
-- Self standing
-- Sufficiently large to handle one pound of dry pasta, cooked
-- Sturdy but light: heavy-gauge stainless steel construction throughout, including handles
-- Fast draining
-- Easy to clean and dishwasher-safe
CONS
-- For both safety and comfort, I want bigger loop handle...

I got this colander and love it. I needed something sturdy to stand up to pasta, potatoes, etc. My plastic one was getting ratty. This looks sharp, holds a whole 5 lb bag of potatoes, and is easy to clean afterwards. It's not that much taller than my old one and fits easily into my cabinet shelf. GREAT value for the money.
