Well designed, well constructed
By J. Menning on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2015
This is easily the best colander I've ever owned. The holes are small enough that I can use it to drain rice and other small stuff. The foot on the bottom helps keep random crap in the sink from swirling back through the pasta when I pour the pot into the strainer. It's sufficiently large for a pound of pasta. It's easy to clean - no weird corners for things to get stuck in. Despite the humid climate, it has yet to show any sign of rust or discoloration. All in all, a well-designed and well-constructed tool.

Works well, but...
By NecrJoe on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2009
I bought it because of a segment on America's Test Kitchen where they say that this type of colander is their favorite: finely perforated metal, rather than plastic or mesh. The strainer works really well. It is great for rice, Israeli couscous and angel hair and aborio pasta. There are a couple issues I have: 1) The inside is smooth and easy to clean. The outside feels like a microplane and it's just shredding my sponges. 2) The base right should also have slots of holes, because otherwise the bottom fills in with water...or...if you put the colander over the drain, the ring blocks the water outside the ring from going down the drain and then the sink fills up. Probably not a big deal for people with nice new stainless steel sinks, but I've got an old stained ceramic sink. It's also the sink we use for rinsing the floor mop and paint brushes...I don't like food coming in contact with the sink, and that includes strained food soaking in sitting water in the sink.
