Paoli 304 Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Colander Set, 4QT Large Capacity Strainer with Mixing Bowl — Rinse Fruits, Veggies, Rice & Drain Pasta, Dishwasher Safe (2-Piece)

This is a product that I've needed for a long time. I use it for washing veggies, fruits, lettuce, etc. I purchased the large one and at first I thought it was too big ... but am now glad I have it. It is so functional that I will be purchasing additional sizes. This is a very functional, practicable product that is well made. It is of good quality and has some heft to it, which is good. I especially like the fact that it is NOT plastic. It is also keeps me from splashing water on me, or spilling it on the counters, floor, etc. I also appreciate the fact that it has not rusted. This is a product that I use frequently and would definably repurchase .... and will!

I wanted this item for both a colander and a soaker for veggies and fruit to remove unwanted chemicals and pesticides. The 2.5 qt is the perfect size for both tasks. It works great, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a good substantial-weight item in their kitchen. Both parts are very strong and will not dent easily. It was worth paying a little extra for good quality and should last a long time. I would definitely purchase again. .

Good product.

I bought this over a year ago for my mother for Christmas. She has always wanted a colander like this so it was an easy buy. What I didn’t expect was how often I would use it as well!! It is used for washing vegetables, rice, and straining pasta in my household. I was especially impressed with how easy it makes washing rice! I have moved out and intend to buy my own because of how useful this colander and bowl pair are. I have yet to find any flaws with them almost 2 years later.

I primarily bought this to use to rinse rice. Unfortunately the holes in it are a little bit too big for that and the rice grains get through or get stuck in the holes. I will still be able to use it for other applications and it is nicely made, but I'll be sticking to using my mesh strainer for rinsing my rice

Very nice , happy and satisfied. I bought for my rice. No issue rising rice. One or 3 rice dropped. I am using also to icebath my hard boiled chicken eggs before peeling. Quality is great. Happy and satisfied

Colander is very well made BUT ordered TWICE and first was dented and 2nd one I received had a larger dent. Can't reorder until refund is processed. Not Happy

I wish I knew about this a long time ago. It's really good for soaking/straining foods well for cleaning or prepping. I use it for salad, herbs, potatoes, rice, split them up and I have a mixing bowl and a colander. After straining pasta, just drop the whole calendar into the bowl for easy service and clean up. Where have you been all my life?
