Product Description

colander durable construction microperforations for rapid straining unique base prevents backwash


Riveted handles are by far the strongest handles possible for a colander. Don't waste your time with a welded colander that can't handle the strain.	It's vital to have a steady base on your colander for safety while pouring hot liquids. Our ring base is stable, even on uneven surfaces.	The competition lets water build up in the base while straining. Our colander drains water, even in the base. So you won't drain water touching your food.	We use thick, high-quality stainless steel for our colanders. You'll notice that they are much more resistant to bending, breaking, and dents.


Ditch the Plastic When it comes to colanders, stainless steel is superior to plastic. It won't leach any chemicals into your food, won't soften or melt with high heat, and allows for more versatility. With a LiveFresh stainless steel colander, you'll have a trusty tool for the long term and you'll keep your family happy and healthy.	This Strainer is a No-brainer Our colander is a multitasker. You can use it to rinse vegetables and silverware, drain canned foods, or put it in a pot to steam vegetables. One of our favorite uses is to flip it over and place it over your frying pan to prevent grease splatter! You will love the flexibility.	High-Quality Construction At LiveFresh, we obsess over the details to make the finest tools possible. Our colanders have smoothed holes so they won't snag your towels during cleaning. We added ergonomic handles with thumb recesses for added comfort. You'll benefit from our constant drive for perfection every time you use your strainer.

Don't over-pay on ATK rated

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

When I want a new piece of gear for my kitchen, I'll turn to America's Test Kitchen for guidance, but will rarely buy the exact one they suggest. By the time I get to seeing the review, every other idiot in the country would have seen the same exact review, and will rush out to buy that specific thing. The manufacturer (or is it the seller?) will notice, and jack the price up way more than it was when it started. I'm sorry but $45 for a plastic handle, and 8" is ridiculous (I'm looking straight at you, Victorinox knives).

What I will do is search for a dupe that has the features I like from the ATK suggested, and get that one. I don't need my kitchen gear to last a lifetime. I just need it to be good enough for what I'm using it for. This is similar to the colander suggested by ATK, but a lot cheaper. The material isn't heavy duty or anything, but the handles feel nice and solid, and for my purposes, it's durable enough. I make pasta maybe once a week (if that). If it's spaghetti or something, I'm pulling it from the water with my tongs anyway. The only time I reach for this guy is when I need to drain a pound of macaroni or something.

It's relatively easy to clean. I use one of those silicon scrubby pads, and it gets right in between the holes to clean this out thoroughly. It dries pretty quickly too. The pedestal raises it up off the bottom of the sink so that pasta water doesn't slosh back up on it. For the cost, this is a solid piece of gear, and well worth having in your kitchen.

Better features, for a lot less money

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent colander. I've been using a plastic one that I got many years ago. Having replaced all my plastic food storage containers with glass bowls, out of food safety considerations, I decided it was about time I did the same with my colander that has to handle contact with boiling-hot liquids. Originally I came to Amazon expecting to buy the similar product from RSVP (having recently discovered America's Test Kitchen product reviews, which recommended the RSVP one several years ago). BUT then I noticed this one from LiveFresh. When I bought it, this colander was $7 less than the RSVP one - in other words, it's about 27% less expensive! And IMO, this LiveFresh one is the better product, which I will go into in more detail below.

Note that the steel is apparently 18-8 and not 18-10 as the description says. I base that conclusion on this site: http://www.bosunsupplies.com/StainlessInfo2/ which says that "type 304" and "18-8" are two ways of describing the same steel. This is the steel used in all kinds of food-related applications. (And I mean ALL kinds - fruit juice processors, meat processors, stainless countertops, cooking pans and flatware, etc, etc - read the page if you want to know more. Or google "type 304 steel" and see your own results.) I conclude that the steel is the right kind for a colander, and note that LiveFresh also offers a lifetime warranty with this product.

The steel feels substantial and not likely to bend under normal use. The colander is smooth both inside and out - nothing to snag your kitchen towels on. The handles are riveted on and very solid, and flush with the side of the colander. Some users with relatively large hands might prefer a bigger handle "loop," but it's big enough for my four fingers. (The loop measures 3 and 15/16" across its widest dimension, on mine.)

The holes of this LiveFresh colander are 2mm, according to the label that came with the item from the manufacturer. They look to me like they may be too big for rinsing raw quinoa, but small enough for just about anything else, including draining cooked orzo pasta and rinsing raw short-grain rice. (I have a fine mesh strainer to use for rinsing quinoa, if this product turns out not to be good for that.)

The base ring of steel is welded onto the bottom, and the product sits solid and level on my countertop. This product corrects at least one of the things that people complained about who bought the RSVP colander -- the base ring of this LiveFresh product has two big holes punched in it, so if you set the colander on the bottom of your sink and use both hands on the hot pot of pasta & water that you need to drain, the water will be less likely to back up into your food after contacting the sink. The holes in the base ring are there to let the water drain out the sides of the base ring. (The RSVP colander has a solid base ring, with no holes.)

My colander came with a small, cosmetic scratch across each handle, near the attachment points where the handles meet the bowl. To me this does not warrant reduction of a star, or returning the item for replacement. But I mention it in case this would be a deal-breaker for others. You might want to order the colander in a separate order, so it would be the only item in the box, or specify the kind of packaging you want, to prevent the cosmetic issue. My colander will be stored inside a cabinet, not hung on a wall, so I'm not bothered by the cosmetics. (My definition of "cosmetic" in this case - The scratches are barely detectable when I run a fingernail across them, and not enough to snag a towel.)

Very Well Made

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

I just purchased 2 LiveFresh 5 QT Steel Colanders. The reviews were good and they were accurate. The stainless steel seems very sturdy. The handles are attached with some kind of grommets, not just welded. The bottom is firmly attached. There are also two holes in the bottom for drainage. I'm very pleased with the materials and construction and look forward to using them.

Extremely well designed and top quality make this a "best buy"...

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

I tend to avoid writing any positive reviews unless I come across what I consider an outstanding product... and, this is one of those extremely well designed and very well made products worth using as the "go to" item in my kitchen or yours. The inside of the bowl area is very smooth, so food should slide out easily on this slippery surface. I'm sure this can NOT be used to rinse, wash, or strain some kinds of uncooked grains or small sized rice, as these might get stuck in the holes or pass through it. But, it should catch and strain most kinds of cooked grains and rice that will swell-up in size from "water cooking", and it fits well inside my double sink that is 14" x 15" inches on each side. One tip might be to order this as your only item for shipping, so it will come inside its own box alone and not risk getting dented by another item inside.

Does NOT work for quinoa as advertised

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this colander because the description said specifically that it could be used to rinse quinoa. The colander I had would not work because the holes were too big. Well, the holes are smaller but not even close to small enough for quinoa. Now I have a second colander (very large colander by the way) taking up room in my cabinet that I also can not use for quinoa. Aside from being so large and the holes too big for the purpose I bought it for and which it was advertised it would work for....it seems like a nice colander. Under other circumstances, I would return it. However, it doesn’t seem worth it during the pandemic so I am keeping it. It is not that it isn’t an ok colander otherwise—I just can’t stand false advertising and that is the only reason I bought it.

Great if you are preparing larger quantities of food

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

I decided to write this review having felt slightly pestered by the supplier - OK, a few emails :o).

Build quality:
- Having only used it a handful of times not sure; I'm hardly qualified to judge at the moment, but it looks solid enough.
- I think it would dent or bend before it fractured.
- Hopefully it will not rust nor tarnish.
- Don't abuse it and it probably will last a long time.

Practically:
- You can put it in the dishwasher which is a bonus to have that option.
- It's big. Great if you are preparing larger quantities of food. For couples or small meals it's a bit too big IMHO - a handful of cherry tomatoes or a cup of rice looks a bit lost at the bottom of it.
- Think about where you would store a large utensil. Yes it's 28cm in diameter at the top part of the bowl but if you include the handles it's 13cm high and 37cm wide.

Hole size:
- Description says 'micro-perforated'. I'd say about two millimeter diameter drilled holes.
- A hair too big for washing uncooked rice. See video (if it uploads). The rice falls through. Cooked rice is better and you'll lose less - so better if you tend to only strain post-cooking than pre-wash. I bought it with washing rice in mind so I'm slightly disappointed here.
- You do have to factor in drainage times. While tiny holes would be great for keeping one hundred percent of your food in the colander you would be waiting longer for water to drain or be shaking, swirling, and tossing it a lot more to encourage the water to leave.

Overall:
A solid three if not four stars. I gave it four. A bit too big for my needs but that's my fault for not reading the size and imagining how it would fit my needs.

Halfway between a sieve and a colander and huge

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

This product is somewhere between a sieve and a colander. It's perfect if you want to drain cooked rice or pasta and find (as I do) that conventional sieves are far too small and he holes in most colanders are far too big. Although you wouldn't want to use it for rinsing uncooked rice (the perforations are too big) it is perfect for cooked rice. At 4.7 litres it's capacity is huge and, unlike sieves, it stands on its on base in the sink. Well made out of good quality stainless steel it should last a lifetime. Recommended.

Excellent colander - well worth the price

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

My family are used to buying colanders from the pound store, so when I told them I bought a colander for £16, they couldn't believe it. A few months later, after having used it, they love it and so do I. In fact, it's so nice I bought it three times! Twice for myself, once for a friend.

This colander is perfect for my use-case: draining cooked rice. The holes are large enough to let the water drain quickly, but small enough to not let rice go through (well, a few grains here and there escape, but nothing more).

I want to highlight the draining ports in the ring base as being of particular importance. With other colanders, water can sometimes be trapped either inside or outside the base of the colander, causing the water level to rise back up into the colander. With this colander and its draining ports, water can flow freely between the inside and the outside of the base, preventing water backing up into the food. The draining ports are so important that I honestly don't know why only this colander has them - they should be on every colander that has its own base!

Word of caution - do not attempt to rinse uncooked rice in this colander. It's not designed for that. My brother made that mistake once; it did not go well for him and much laughter ensued. Stick to cooked rice and other larger foodstuffs.

Good build quality - ideal for sieving cat litter!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

I actually purchased this to use as a sieve for my clumping cat litter and it works a treat. It is large, sturdy and the holes are small enough to catch rice sized pieces bit large enough to let couscous sized grains through. The only reason why the cleaning is not 5 stars is that by its very nature, when clumping litter comes into contact with liquid it congeals so around the base of the sieve I need to use a knife point to get the residue out - but this is a minor point on what is a great quality product. Stainless steel products are normally on the pricey size and this is a good weight. The price is fair in my opinion.

Brilliant

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

I had a small colander with a plastic handle with very large holes in it but the holes were spaced apart, when I tried to get the water out it would just sit at the bottom regardless how much I shook it and I'd often have a puddle of water on my plate. This big thing can sit in your kitchen sink so you don't need to juggle with it and the pan to strain your food and drains away nearly all the water, plus you got 2 handles either side to shake out even more excess water that could be trapped in there. No more watery pasta and sopping wet chips and peas!

So far I haven't seen any signs of rusting or loose fittings which leaves me hopefully that this is going to last me for quite a long time.
