Frequently Asked Questions
Tap to view Questions And Answers
How do I adjust the expandable colander to fit my sink?
Pull the handles to stretch the frame to the desired length. The expandable frame lets the colander adjust from 15 to 21.5 inches, so it can fit over most sink edges. For example, you can set it to 18 inches for a standard kitchen sink.
Is the stainless steel colander dishwasher safe?
Yes, the colander is dishwasher safe. Structural bars inside the frame prevent sagging and deformation when washed. Place it on the top rack for best results. This keeps the fine mesh intact after repeated cycles.
What foods can I use the pasta strainer for?
The colander can drain pasta, vegetables, and fruits. Its fine mesh design catches small particles, so it works well for rinsing grapes or berries. For example, after boiling spaghetti, you can shake it in the colander to remove excess water.
Can I use the fine mesh strainer to rinse berries?
Yes, the fine mesh prevents small seeds from escaping. Rinse grapes or blueberries under running water while they sit in the colander. The mesh holds the fruit while allowing water to drain through.
Is there a limitation on how much I can put in the stainless steel colander?
Overloading the colander can cause sagging. The structural bars help maintain shape, but avoid filling it beyond its 6‑quart capacity. For instance, filling it with a full pot of broccoli may lead to a slight sag.
How does the expandable colander compare to a standard non‑expandable colander?
The expandable colander fits a wider range of sink sizes because its frame can stretch from 15 to 21.5 inches. A standard colander has a fixed size and may not fit narrow sinks. The elevated feet also improve drainage compared to many non‑expandable models.
Will the stainless steel colander stay stable when draining heavy pasta?
The structural bars keep the colander stable during draining. When you shake a full pot of pasta, the bars prevent the basket from bending. For example, a 6‑quart pot of spaghetti can be drained without the colander tipping.
What is the capacity of the pasta strainer?
The colander holds up to 6 quarts. This size is suitable for draining a standard pot of pasta or a large batch of vegetables. Keep the load within this capacity to avoid overloading the basket.
