Great size

I purchased this because I needed a large strainer for fruits and vegetables. I was a bit worried that it would be too big but it fits into my standard kitchen sink with no problem and it is really convenient to not have to use a strainer in batches.

Not too bad...

I bought this colander because I wanted one that would suspend itself across my sink. It does that very nicely.

I've only got a couple of minor complaints:

The interior ends of the arms tend to hit each other whenever the arms are pushed back into the strainer. Maybe the arms weren't intended to be flush with the sides when the thing's not in use, I dunno, but it bothers me that they seem to overlap by half an inch. No big deal.

The fine mesh (which was another reason why I picked this model) is so fine that it's a little bit hard to clean. When stuff gets in lodged in one of the holes, you're not going to be able to get your finger in there to get it out. You might be able to get a toothpick in there. I'm thinking I'll have to get a wire brush or something to clean it more quickly. Still, I'd rather have to work harder to clean this mesh than watch my spaghetti noodles slide out of larger holes.

It's big. Actually, that was yet another selling point for me, but it's so big that it's kind of hard to maneuver it under the faucet for cleaning.

Finally, my only real complaint with this thing: The band around the top traps food inside it. The band loops around the mesh to give it a finished edge, and it's open on the bottom so you'd think gravity might keep stuff out, but somehow food always manages to find its way in there.

The strainer is plenty big (could probably fit four pounds of pasta in there), the small mesh is wonderful, and the fact that I can leave it suspended over the sink makes working in the kitchen much easier. All in all it's a great product, I just wish it was a little easier to keep clean.

My daughter was desperate for a strainer and she got TWO for her Birthday, one from her husband and this from me. The one from her husband was the rubber pop-up kind and seemed to be better suited until it broke after only a couple of months. She called to tell me that this was working beautiful and how glad she was I had purchased it for her. Goes ino the dishwasher, the stainless is study and no rust, it is a little bulky to store but she has tons of space so this is a keeper.

Not quite what I expected

I was hoping for a strainer that would work for washing rice. It does alright, but as stated before, it is pretty flimsy. The holes are also bigger than I'd hoped; the long grain white rice we use gets stuck in the strainer. It's also somewhat a pain to wash by hand; we accidentally got some cheddar cheese stuck in it, and it took five minutes to get out. However, it does do the job, and the over-the-sink option is great. We washed cherries in it, and it was perfect for that, as it would be for other larger items. I'll definitely continue to use it, but it wasn't everything I had hoped for.

Every Kitchen should have one of these

There is a book that Amazon carries that is called "The Ultimate Pizza Manual" that as part of the making their pizza says to buy this strainer. So i did.

While I make the pizza from that book (Excellent pizza too) my wife now uses this strainer almost every day.

We had never seen one of these before but man they are handy. From washing veggies to rinsing meats for prep before rubs, sauces and marinade. Along with draining hot noodles. All is done over the sink instead of sitting in the sink. No chance of burning your hands or getting sink back flow on your food as this suspends several inches from the sink floor.

For the pizza they just simply let you slide the pizza to the screen with out getting simolina or flour any where except the sink.

A super handy kitchen tool that will be used many different ways
