Love it, but... it's a "dammed" thing.,

This review is from: RSVP Precision Pierced Stainless-Steel 5-Quart Colander (Kitchen)
Even though it drains quickly and stuff doesn't get caught in the perforations, there's one thing I wish they would change on this colander. The base is a solid piece of circular metal, so the water that flows out of most of the holes ends up accumulating in the sink instead of going down the drain. (I hope that makes sense the way I've described it.) If you've got a giant sink that lets you place this NEXT to the sink drain instead of on top of it, maybe this won't be a problem for you. But I've got a double sink and the colander pretty much has to perch right above the drain because there's not a lot of room. Not fun when you're pouring out a bunch of hot pasta water! I wish the base had four sturdy FEET instead of a solid circle. When they make it that way, I'll give it five stars. :)
UPDATE, Oct 1, 2010: I've gotten a lot of comments on this review, and yesterday F. Navi mentioned that the OXO Good Grips 5-Quart Stainless-Steel Colander looks like a terrific alternative to the RSVP colander because it has the FEET that I wished for. I haven't purchased it myself, though, but I wanted to include a link for you here. I can already see one drawback to it (for me, anyway) -- I use one of the loop handles on my RSVP colander to hang it on the wall by my sink, and I wouldn't be able to do that with the OXO's rubber grip handles. Ah, well! Hope this update helps. :) UPDATE, Nov 30, 2010: A new comment came in from C.J., wishing for more photos. I added three to help illustrate the drainage issue that I originally described. Look for them under the main product image and click to read the captions.

A really great product,

I purchased this colander after reading a review from Cook's Illustrated and it is everything they said. The great number of very small holes drains everything well but doesn't let any of the item being drained fall through. Very sturdy, easy to clean and well worth the cost.

Perfect for small pastas,

This review is from: RSVP Precision Pierced Stainless-Steel 5-Quart Colander (Kitchen)
You get a clean, quick drain with this colander
because there are a lot of small holes. So small pasta sizes like orzo and pastina don't fall through. You also get a fast drain-especially handy when you want to drain the pasta and return it immediately to the pot to be finished in a sauce. The handle attachments do seem flimsy and at this price, they ought not to be. But as long as it stays in one piece, it'll be hanging near my sink. --Lynn Hoffman, author of New Short Course in Wine,The and bang BANG: A Novel ISBN 9781601640005
