Tovolo Red Melamine Colander

I like the shape. I like the handles. I like that it is sturdy. I like the size, although was disappointed it wasn't quite as big as my old strainer that could easily handle two boxes of pasta - this holds about 1 1/2 boxes. It drains everything quite well (nice large holes, but the design keeps solid objects inside). The color is also quite nice.

One note is that it does sit low to the surface it is on. While the bottom part appears that it would raise it off the surface, it curves on the inside to skim the surface, and not really rise above it much at all.

NEVER THOUGHT I'D GET EXCITED ABOUT A 'COLANDER'!!! PERFECT COLOR RED, PERFECT SIZE AND SHAPE AND LOOKS GREAT HANGING UP ON THE KITCHEN WALL. ADDS A LOT OF PIZZAZZ TO MY KITCHEN. I LOVE USING IT AND SO DOES MY HUSBAND.

This is a perfect colander for making acid foods that will react with aluminum. Of course it's fine with any food. And it's pretty!

This is a wonderful product. I was looking for a nice size colander to use for washing my fruits and veggies and I decided to try this one. I absolutely love this one. The holes are perfect for draining anything from pasta to veggies. Also the size and durability is terrific for the price. I also loved the color it brightens up my kitchen. If you are looking for a great durable colander I would highly recomend this one..

This colander is great for rinsing pretty much anything: veggies, berries, salad greens. It has also been successful in draining larger pastas. The holes are not very small so smaller pastas like orzo would probably fall right through.
Overall the colander is very durable and the best thing is it won't ever rust like the metal colanders do.
