Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This unique scoop colander is made especially for retrieving pasta, vegetables, and the like from deep stockpots. The extra-long handle keeps hands away from hot, steamy water, and the colander is designed to rest on a pot's lips, allowing excess liquid to drain. For those using a more typical 6-quart pot, try removing spaghetti or potatoes right on the stove, rather than hauling the pot to the sink and leaning back to avoid the rush of steam. It's also a great tool for removing homemade bagels from boiling water or fresh donuts from hot oil. --Dana Van Nest

Its unique squared-off shape lets you get into corners, and the long handle keeps your hands safely away from the heat source. Handle end is pierced for hanging.

Very nice colander! Stainless Steel...easy to clean. Holds almost 3/4 of a box of COOKED spaghetti. The holes in this colander are small enough to strain very thin pasta (capellini/angel hair pasta) without the pasta falling through the holes! The handle is nice and long so you don't risk burning yourself when draining hot pasta...
I highly recommend this colander....

I wish I had bought the slightly smaller one, nevertheless this is perfect for draining pasta without losing the precious pasta water needed to add to sauces.

THIS SCOOP IS MADE WITH THE PERFECT SHAPE, MATERIAL, DEPTH AND HANDLE. MY ONLY PROBLEM IS THE OVERALL SIZE. I COOK FOR TWO SO IT DOESN'T FIT IN MY POTS. I HAVE TO DRAIN THE FOOD INTO THE COLANDER RATHER THAN SCOOP MY PASTA OUT.MY REASON TO BUY IT WAS SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO PICK UP THE HEAVY POT OF HOT WATER TO DRAIN.THE SMALLER ONES I HAVE SEEN DIDN'T HAVE THE DEPTH OF THE SCOOP THAT I LIKED. I DIDN'T SEE THIS ITEM IN PERSON SO I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW LARGE IT WAS.
