Strainer HENDI 535417

A colander separates solids from liquids by holding food over a sink or container while the liquid drains through perforations in the bowl. The holes allow water or cooking liquid to escape without losing the food, speeding up rinsing, draining pasta or blanching vegetables. The bowl shape concentrates the food in the centre, letting the operator tip or shake the colander to remove the last of the liquid.

To use, place the colander over a sink or a receiving vessel. Load the food into the bowl, then allow the liquid to drain through the perforations. The short handles on either side give a secure grip when lifting or shaking the colander, while the flat base keeps the bowl stable on a worktop between uses.

The colander is made of stainless steel, which resists corrosion and staining from food acids and cleaning chemicals. The material also withstands repeated dishwasher cycles without warping or losing its finish. The bowl measures 285 mm across, with a depth of 100 mm, giving a working volume that suits portion-sized batches of pasta, rice or vegetables. The unit weighs 0.35 kg, light enough to handle with one hand when full.

The colander is dishwasher-safe, allowing it to be cleaned alongside other kitchen equipment without manual scrubbing. The stainless steel surface requires no special treatment beyond standard detergent and water to remove food residue.
