Evenly distributed holes and corners make donning and drainage quick and easy. Place on the sink to safely drain pasta and cooked vegetables or rinse vegetables and fruits without wasting carefully prepared foods. The hole diameter is up to 5mm, so this filter is not suitable for rice, quinoa or other small particles. We use food grade BPA free plastic, so you can safely use the colander to filter hot food or wash fresh vegetables when you prepare healthy meals for your family. It is also very durable, sturdy and dishwasher safe. The colander above the sink makes it easy to drain pasta, fruits and vegetables. The colander can be slid from 14.25 to 19.45 inches to hold more food and dishes as well as sinks of various sizes, while the two handles are comfortable and can be placed over the edge of the sink, from so that you can easily squeeze the food. Wash vegetables and fruit by hand, use it as a basket on the workbench, as a filter above the sink or in the air. However you use it, we think you'll love the versatility. The colander is made of food grade plastic, can be safely put in the upper dishwasher and never rust. With its compact, adjustable design, it can be tucked away in most cabinets or placed permanently in the sink to multitask.
