Editorial Review

A required tool in the home of a seasoned cook, this strainer has a fine-grid mesh for draining the excess liquid from just about any food, including fruit, vegetables, and pasta. The wide stainless- steel brim and loop make it easy for the strainer to rest on almost any bowl or pot, and the double-rod construction makes it extra sturdy. And it comes with a hanging loop for convenient storage. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

Summary:Very sturdy - worth the money

I bought this at Whole Foods for $22 plus tax, because I needed it right away. It's cheaper on amazon, but still pricey for a strainer. You may wonder why it costs so much more than other strainers.

Well, as one other reviewer pointed out, it actually has a double layer of mesh, making it mush sturdier than other strainers, and able to keep its shape. Nothing out there compares.

I used it to sift dry ingredients for baking, but I also intend to use it to make vegetable stock. You will not be disappointed with this strainer!

It does its job, it hasn't come apart, and it shows no signs of rusting or breaking. All I want is a tool that does its job well. This one does exactly that. Its hardest use in my household is straining "things" from my beer and mead brewing experiments. That typically means 5 gallons of hot fluid with varying weights of things that must be strained out. No problems.

Summary:High quality strainer
Comment:

This is the perfect size strainer with a good grip and very high quality stainless steel mesh. I've used it constantly since purchasing it. The length of the handle is perfect for spanning my small kitchen sink, so I can let things drain after rinsing them. It's large enough to hold several cans of beans, or chopped tomatoes for draining.

Great product.

I was disappointed in the insubstantial feeling and quality of the stainless steel....made in China, btw. I doubt it will meet the requirements of durability and longevity I had come to expect from OXO.
Frankly, I am disappointed.

The size of this makes it perfect for what I use it for; incorporating flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, etc when baking. It's large size make it a suitable substitution for a more expensive French tami. Unlike a tami this has the ability to be suspended over a bowl hands free. It's also handy as a cooling sieve for freshly roasted coffee beans.
