OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Colander (5 Qt)
The OXO Good Grips 5-Quart Stainless Steel Colander handles big batches of pasta and vegetables with ease. The sturdy stainless steel construction resists denting and warping, while the small holes drain efficiently without losing small foods like orzo or peas. Soft-grip handles stay cool and provide secure grip, and the wide base keeps the colander stable in the sink. Dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
Why We Love It
A good colander is one of those basics that you don't think about until you're struggling with a flimsy plastic one that warps, tips, or lets half your orzo escape down the drain. The OXO colander is built to last: heavy stainless steel won't melt or warp from hot pasta water, the holes are small enough to catch tiny pasta shapes, and the wide base keeps it stable. Simple, reliable, essential.
