Multifunctional - Easy to use and versatile. Stretch it over the sink to rinse vegetables and fruit, drain pasta, thaw frozen food, or use it as a dish rack to air dry utensils, cups, and small plates. It is also comfortable to hold in your hand and can be used on the counter as a basket. No matter how you use it, we believe you will love the versatility of this colander. Modern design - Adjustable, this colander expands from 14.5 to 49.5 cm to accommodate more or less, saving space when not in use and fitting most sinks. When stretched over the sink, the base is raised from the sink, preventing drained pasta water from reaching your food. Drains quickly - Evenly spaced holes in the bottom of the basket help drain water quickly while food goes down the drain. The holes measure up to 0.5 cm in diameter, so this colander will not work for rice, quinoa, or most small grains. BPA-free - This plastic colander is BPA-free, so you can use it to prepare healthy meals for your family. It is also very durable, sturdy, and heat resistant up to 100°C. Dishwasher safe - Unlike some traditional colanders, this colander is easy to clean, dishwasher safe in the top rack, and will never rust.
