Overview

Gulex makes this stainless colander with riveted handles that stay attached under a heavy load of wet pasta. A lid is included, and the bowl is a shallow shape that rests in a sink.

Stainless steel will not stain or hold odors the way plastic can, and the thin build is easy to store. The limits are the missing hole size and the lack of base feet, which the listing does not mention.

Who it's for

Small kitchens and everyday cooks who want a simple steel strainer are the target. People rinsing small grains, or wanting a footed bowl, should look at a finer or taller design.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Stainless steel body
Cons
  • Hole size not listed
  • Base feet not described

Performance notes

Draining is governed by the hole pattern and the bowl shape, neither of which is described. Steel handles riveted to the rim stay attached better than glued ones. The bowl is shallow, so large batches may crowd the sink rather than sit above it.
