This colander has holes all over so that there are no puddles of water in any corners. Great compared to the rest that I bought.

1.0 out of 5 stars This product comes with a toxicity warning-see "product details", February 19, 2011

This review is from: Tovolo Small Stainless Steel Colander (Kitchen)

I was online researching stainless steel colanders because I wanted one that won't leach chemicals into my food. Well, it appears that not all "stainless steel" products are not created equal. If you read the "Product Details" section on the Amazon website, this particular brand (Tovolo) comes with a "toxicity warning", as mandated by the state of California in Proposition 65 (see Prop 65 note below). In other words, whatever goes into making this colander is a known carcinogen/toxin. This was not true for the rest of the pricier brands I checked. See for yourself. I wound up going with a more expensive colander without the warning because: (A) I don't want cacner or cancer-causing compounds constantly leaching into my food; and (B) I don't want to encourage shoddy, harmful manufacturing processes. Somewhere this little colander is produced in a plant that is spewing these toxins into the environment as the colanders manufactured. No thanks.

*California Proposition 65*

Attention California Residents:

California's Proposition 65 entitles California consumers to special warnings for products that contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm if those products expose consumers to such chemicals above certain threshold levels. We care about our customers' safety and hope that the information below helps with your buying decisions.

Just what I needed. Easy to store because of its size. Always preferred stainless and this strainer does the job.
