Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This strainer has a fine grid mesh for draining the excess liquid from just about any food, including fruits, vegetables, and pasta. Its wide stainless-steel brim and loop make it easy for the strainer to rest on almost any bowl or pot, and its double-rod construction makes the strainer extra-sturdy. The large, comfortable handle is made of brushed stainless steel with rubber fins for comfort and will remain cool to the touch. It's also nonslip under wet or dry conditions. And the large hanging hole in the handle makes storage easy. Like all Oxo products, this tool is dishwasher-safe. --Laurie Notaro

Product Description

For draining or rinsing small fruits and vegetables, nothing can take the place of a strainer. The fine mesh allows liquids to pass through while solids remain behind.

This product is junk. I like most oxo products but this one is poorly designed. The hadle is spot welded and can not hold any weight. My second one broke after shaking the remains of a stock out. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Strainer is a Kitchen Essential, April 30, 2001

Strainers are kitchen utensils that one needs at inopportune times. At the last minute, when I am hurrying to get all my dishes finished at the same time, I might put forget to add hot liquid to flour or cornstarch, for thickening, and instead add the dry ingredient directly to the gravy or sauce. Then I end up with a lumpy mess unless I have a strainer (or cheesecloth) on hand. This OXO strainer is 8 inches across, so it is large enough to strain a pan of gravy without overflowing. The mesh is a fine gauge, so the gravy will end up smooth.

This strainer is perfect for hooking to the side of a bowl or pot and straining stock, soup, sauces, or any liquid and it catches fat, spices, bones or other unwanted items leaving you with the good stuff. This strainer has seen heavy use and has held up well over the years. Excellent product.
