Bellemain Micro-Perforated Stainless Steel 5-Quart Colander Review

Bellemain Micro-Perforated Stainless Steel 5-Quart Colander.

I have never owned a colander that was this quality.  Even in Restaurants we never used ones this nice.  It is very strong and sturdy metal that cleans well.  We use it for all pasta and rice dishes.  Not only that when we wash our food it is a perfect product for all kinds of uses.  It has very small holes that let all the water through but not the food.  It is stainless steel so you know it is nice and doesn't have the issues of contamination like plastic.  We love it and use it all the time. 

Product Description

No more watching your spaghetti or rice slip through the holes. No slow or incompletely draining water. No worries about warping, scratching, rusting or tipping over. Whether you're boiling pasta, steaming vegetables or washing fruit, the Bellemain Stainless Steel Colander simply makes your life easier.

Micro Holes Keep Tiny Grains from Falling Through
Less than 1/16" in diameter, the Bellemain's perforations prevent even cooked rice and orzo from going down the drain. And while you might think water would drain more quickly if the holes were larger, actually the opposite is true.

Closely Configured Holes Drain Water Faster
Why does water go through mesh strainers so fast? Because there is less solid surface to slow it down. That's the principle behind the Bellemain's mesh-style perforations. The entire bowl, from the bottom to the rim, is perforated, so there's nowhere for water to get trapped.

Solid Ring Base Won't Tip Over
The problem with colanders that have separate feet is that if one foot lands in the sink drain, the whole bowl tips over. The Bellemain's base is one solid circle of stainless steel that keeps the colander safely level. It also keeps your food elevated above the floor of the sink and whatever water hasn't yet gone down the drain.

Dishwasher Safe, 18/10 Stainless Steel
Every part of the Bellemain is solid, practically indestructible stainless steel, so you can expect many years of trouble-free performance. When you've finished draining your cooked or washed food, just throw it in the dishwasher. What could be easier!
