304 Stainless Steel Colander With Handle, 5-Quart Micro-Perforated Strainer Colander Set with Mixing Bowl, BPA Free, Great for Draining Cooked Pasta, Noodles,Vegetables, Fruits and Rice(2PC)

It’s been a while since I purchased this, and it’s held up great. Almost like new even now. Great for washing and soaking veggies/fruits. The bowls are big but still lightweight. Washed through the dishwasher continuously and no sign of any tarnish. The handles on the bowls ended up being more helpful than I thought they’d be, and I’m glad they’re there. Great to have in the kitchen

I bought the 2Qt and 3 Qt size....easier to do more than one bowl at a time when washing lots of fruits and berries. I LOVE THEM. They stack easily and take up little room this way. Cleaning is fast and easy, They are sturdy and I believe a good price for the quality. If I didn't already have large Stainless steel colander and bowl, for which it fits, I would have gotten the 4 Qt size as well.I put ice cubes in the base bowl to keep the fruit from getting soft and mushy; (think of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc. that are almost impossible to wash, other than running cold water over them). Then add water, with a small amount some white distilled vinegar and baking soda to clean the fruit. Swirl the water a bit to get the vinegar and Baking Soda Activated. Then put the colander part on top and add berries or fruit. Swirl them a bit and let them sit for about 5 minutes. I let them drain a bit and use a paper towel to lightly wipe.Finally, I use a small microfiber towel (generally a dark one, so no fruit stains) in the bottom of the bowl. Then add the fruit and refrigerate. All Ready to EAT and they last quite a few days this way.

These are wonderful. I bought two different sizes. Great for washing produce and draining food.

High Quality Stainless Steel!

I knew I needed this but I never thought I would love it as much as I do. I use it to rinse my nuts (almonds and walnuts). I am amazed as to how many small particles were in the bag (some are not the nuts). For my almonds I leave them in the water after I have discarded the dirty water so I can remove the skins. I also use this item for rinsing my berries. The 5qt size let's the berries spread out more. I can easily clean the dirt, pesticide, and other stuff from the berries. I let them drain and then put them on paper towels to dry before I put them in a sealed container in the fridge. I like that this item is stainless steel. The quality is great. I definitely recommend it.

Replaced an old plastic version and this is a huge upgrade.

I use this a lot, for all kinds of beans. If they're really small -- lentils -- they can slip through, but nothing else has. I like that it's huge.

Great product. Very convenient to have as a set
