Perfect size and excellent quality👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great for cooking for 2. Easy clean up

The colander is just what I was looking for to replace one that I had for about 20 years that my mom purchased for me from Italy. The quality is great as it’s very sturdy and looks like it will last a long time.

Needed a new plastic strainer to replace one I’d had for years. This one looked the most like the old one except with a shorter handle. Would have preferred handle to be about an inch and a half longer but the handle is still easy to grasp. There is a solid splash ring around the top; again, this could have been wider but so far haven’t splashed myself with hot water. Some of the plastic strainers I had looked at were too thin and bendy; this one drains the water and holds the contents of the pot nicely.

This strainer is lightweight and easy to use. I love the maroon color.

Be aware of the dimensions of this colander before purchase!Item is described as having a "Long Handle": but "Long" is relative!Per the item's description, 12" with handle minus 8.5" without handle equals 3.5" handle. I personally don't consider 3.5" to be "long" -- I mean, it's long enough to hold, but another inch or two would have made the design feel much better in my opinion.It doesn't seem to me to have any bearing on the functionality, but the description for this item says "wide hole colander comes in both a square and circular design." I've looked and looked but cannot find any circular straining holes in this colander. All the holes are either square (about 2mm x 2mm) or rectangular (about 4mm x 3mm). Functionally, not a problem for me though, but worth noting.My only and biggest complaint is contrary to the item's claim "SIT’S SECURELY ON YOUR POTS."Aside from the grammatical error [sit's?], this item would only sit securely on an 8" pot.Anything larger, which I use all the time for pasta, and the colander always slips off the non-handle and and falls into the pot.Otherwise, I'm fairly satisfied with this item.

Perfect to drain pasta, if there are just two of you!

Just what I wanted
