Wonderful Concept, faulty material,

This review is from: Progressive International 6 Quart Collapsible Over-the Sink Colander, Blue and White (Kitchen)
We loved this, and we had been looking for the right colander to fit all of our needs...size (large)...small enough holes...etc. This is a great concept, but in under a month, after 4-5 uses, the material had cracked at the expandable seams, and it is almost unusable now (noodles can fall out of the cracks now...though veggies can still be washed in it).

One of the best colanders I've ever used,

This review is from: Progressive International 6 Quart Collapsible Over-the Sink Colander, Blue and White (Kitchen)
I needed a colander that had small enough holes to allow me to drain Asini de Pepe pasta (they are about the size of tapioca pearls once cooked). This one fit the bill (I checked one at the store for hole size, then bought it here as it was cheaper).The collapsible feature and the expanding arms are both extremely handy. I have a small kitchen, so being able to flatten this out and stand it up against my pans, vertically, is great. It's easy to clean (either by hand or by dishwasher, though it's so easy I usually just hand-wash it), seems solidly built (I wonder how long it will expand and collapse; guess we'll find out!), handles hot foods without a problem (and the handles don't conduct that heat to your hands!) and is just an all-around great little tool.

Very Good but I Have a Suggestion,

This review is from: Progressive International 6 Quart Collapsible Over-the Sink Colander, Blue and White (Kitchen)
This over-the-sink colander works very well. It's easy to adjust, drains well, is dishwasher safe and stores easily. The only suggestion I have for future models would be to make the extensible arms a little tighter. I haven't done it yet, but I'm just waiting to accidentally bump it and spill the contents into the sink. Otherwise recommended.
