Product Description

Product Description

Have you ever spilled food or burned your hands while juggling both a hot pot and a hot metal colander? With the Norpro over-the-sink colander, your hands are free to handle one task at a time--your sink stabilizes the stainless-steel mesh basket. Simply place the rubber feet on the sink edges, sliding the handles outward for a custom fit. The basket can be adjusted to hang directly under your faucet for rinsing and washing. Slip a pan or bowl underneath the free-hanging basket to catch drippings, to strain gravies and sauces, or to sift dry ingredients.

Product Description

Let your pasta, fruit and veggies drain into the sink while you prepare the rest of the meal. Not only does this ingenious strainer free up valuable real estate on your counter, it also keeps dripping water where it belongs.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good picture - Bad Product, May 24, 2000

By	Cindy Cook (USA) - See all my reviews

I could write a long explanation of my problems with this product, but I will just keep it sweet and simple. Mine broke 2 months after I bought it. I tried to get it fixed and (Norpro) told me tuff luck and would only sell me a new one plus shipping!

Stick with OXO kitchen Products. I have found their company to be honest and have a good product.

2.0 out of 5 stars great idea, poor design, December 8, 2003

By A Customer

i'm disappointed in this over-the-sink colander. several of the little rubber coverings over the feet fell off right away, leaving sharp little feet that can scratch up my kitchen. equally irritating, the silver band at the top of the colander can trap small items, such as rice i've been rinsing. this not only makes it a pain to clean, but forces me to scoop some contents out with a spoon, rather than simply pour them out. i wouldn't repurchase and am tempted to toss mine and find one with a more sensible design.
on the plus side, i like the relatively fine mesh and the shape. the large area lets me spread items across the bottom, simplifying rinsing and inspecting them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as well as it looks like it will, November 11, 2003

By A Customer

It works, and isn't that what you want? Found it at Macys for $19.00. What's up with the price Amazon? When you see very high retail prices at Amazon, and their very low prices on the same item, do you think that it is really NOT a REAL retail price? What's the real scoop Amazon? Tell it like it is.
