Overview
A compact apartment kitchen is where this collapsible plastic colander fits, folding flat after draining pasta, vegetables or fruit. Plastic and rubber parts make up the body and the mesh holes are small.
Folding saves cabinet space, and a fine mesh holds back small foods. The listing is vague on heat tolerance and gives conflicting item counts. A mislabeled model number suggests the listing data needs a close look.
Who it's for
Apartment cooks and campers who want a strainer that folds away after use. Cooks who drain boiling pots daily and want rated heat resistance should look for a documented model.
Pros and cons
- Folds flat for storage
- Fine mesh holes
- Rubber and plastic build
- Light grey finish
- Heat rating not listed
- Item count unclear in listing
- Mislabeled model number
Performance notes
Small holes retain grains and noodles while water drains away, and the collapsible walls let the colander rest flat when empty. Plastic can soften with hot liquid, so the missing heat rating matters. Capacity is generous for a family pot of pasta.
