5.0 out of 5 stars Can Colander/Strainer works great with Tuna fish & more !!!, April 11, 2007

I just love this ingenious product. Growing up, my parents had a white plastic one, which they still have and use by the way, so I knew it was a good product. We used it ONLY for straining the water out of the tuna fish can - it worked great. I was always afraid of cutting my hand on the sharp edged tuna fish can covers and this was a perfect solution. I was able to get ALL the water or oil out of the tuna fish (I just hate it when there is some left in there - makes the tuna meat too mushy)and never cut myself. Well, now I own this stainless steel one and I know it will last a lifetime and look great. Worth the extra money. Also, I purchased a new can opener (see my other review for that) and it breaks the seal on the can and leaves NO sharp edges on the can. Well, when you get the smooth cover off, guess what? You can't use it to strain the juice out of corn niblets, peas or other canned vegetables. Well using my Stainless Steel Colander I strain all the water out of it, no problem. So now I use it more than ever. And I just rinse it out and put it in the dish drainer and it is ready for my next use. Truly a kitchen necessity. Don't miss out. Worth every penny and more.

First of all, I'd like to say how pleasurable it is to shop online here at Amazon.com. The whole buying and shipping process is always a breeze and I hardly shop anywhere else online now. Highly recommended.

I can't believe I didn't buy this product years ago. This is one of those "why didn't I think of this" products. I eat canned tuna a couple of times a week and an occasional can of salmon and draining the liquid out of the cans was always a pain in the ... tush. Now, it's almost a pleasure (really!):

- much faster than before

- a whole lot less messy

- removes more liquid

- easy to clean

- lightweight

An amazingly simple, but ultimately useful product that anyone who eats canned tuna or salmon should have in their kitchen gadget drawer alongside the paring knives, steak knives, nutcrackers, chopsticks, can openers, etc.

If you can't already tell, I am very happy with this product. Recommended.

I wish you could find these in local stores...... I dropped into several stores looking for these.... Target, Williams Sonoma, CVS and a bunch of others..... They didn't even know what I was talking about when I went to the local Gourmet Kitchen Stores around town. If you haven't tried one of these you don't know what you're missing. The Stainless Steel one is nice and solid (doesn't feel cheap like the plastic ones) and worth the couple extra bucks. Quick shipping from this retailer.
