Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Strainer - Durable Rust-Resistant Mesh Colander - Ergonomic Handle Rice Colander - Ultra-Fine Flour Sifter - Dishwasher Safe with Stable Design - 11 in x 4 in, Silver

Although I can't speak to this strainer's durability, as I've only used it once, it did what I got it for and wasn't sure it would handle: It made a great batch of Greek yogurt.

This works perfectly for me to make yogurt. I take out the milk mix and pour it into this while it is over a larger bowl. I let it sit for a while. Later I'll top that off with plastic wrap and a small plate with extra weight to help press. In a few hours I can spooon it out of the strainer.The strainer cleans up pretty easy using some soap and hot sprayed water.

We had another strainer that we used for years. But the metal ring at the bottom that allows the strainer to sit on a flat surface detached from the strainer basket. This strainer has rods that connect the metal ring at the top to the metal ring at the bottom. I don't expect to have any problems with this one. It is also well made and easy to clean.

I recently purchased the Large Fine Mesh Pasta Strainer, an 11x4 inch metal colander, primarily for pasta, but soon discovered its versatility in my kitchen. Here's my comprehensive review based on its performance, design, and overall utility.**Design and Build Quality:** The first thing I noticed about this strainer was its sturdy construction. Made from high-quality metal, it feels durable and well-made, assuring long-term use. The fine mesh design is particularly impressive, making it suitable for straining various items without worrying about smaller particles slipping through.**Size and Capacity:** At 11x4 inches, this strainer is generously sized, perfect for large batches of pasta, quinoa, or rice. It's also deep enough to hold a substantial amount, which is great for preparing meals for families or gatherings.**Versatility:** Beyond pasta, this strainer excels in a variety of kitchen tasks. It's fantastic for rinsing quinoa, which often slips through coarser colanders, and works wonderfully for straining homemade yogurt or soft cheeses. Its fine mesh also makes it suitable for sifting dry ingredients for baking.**Ease of Use and Cleaning:** The strainer is easy to handle, with a comfortable grip that ensures stability while straining hot or heavy items. Cleaning is a breeze, as it's dishwasher safe. However, for finer particles like quinoa, a quick rinse under the tap before dishwashing is recommended to avoid residue sticking to the mesh.**Efficiency:** The fine mesh allows for quick draining, saving time and making the cooking process more efficient. This is particularly notable when straining smaller grains or pasta types.**Aesthetics:** Its sleek metal design looks good in any kitchen, complementing other stainless-steel appliances and tools.**Limitations:** While the large size is an advantage for most tasks, it might be cumbersome for smaller kitchen spaces or for those who only need to strain small quantities.**Conclusion:** The Large Fine Mesh Pasta Strainer is a valuable addition to any kitchen, especially for those who frequently cook pasta, grains, or homemade dairy products. Its quality build, versatility, and efficient design make it a great investment, despite its larger size which may not suit all users. It's a tool that goes beyond its primary function, proving its worth in numerous culinary scenarios.

works great but was shipped in a paper bag and arrived bent all out of shape

Bought this to rinse quinoa and it is perfect, highly recommend. Prior, I was using a mesh strainer with one handle. It was hard to tap out the quinoa in the sink with several rinses without the quinoa going over the side. This is so easy, I just submerge it into a large bowl while rinsing and lift it out with each round of rinsing. Everything stays in the strainer. I wish I had found this sooner.

Just getting back into making yogurt agajn using my instant pot and this strainer is a joy. I love the size, I love the weight, I love the mesh. It is reasonably easy to clean. I am looking forward to getting all kinds of use out of this, great value for the money. (Like other reviewers have said though, it would be nice to have handles of some sort)

Excellent quality. Well-tooled stainless steel. I’m a line cook and this is a kitchen utility I use every day. It’s built perfectly for a standard sink size

وصلت معوجة بكل جهة حيث انه تم شحنها بكيس بلاستيكي !!!تمت اعادتها

I like the size but it has unfortunately started rusting after one use.

Estoy contenta con ella, buena calidad, buen diseño y muy útil.
