Overview
Kitchen Gizmo designed the Snap N Strain as a curved silicone strainer that clips onto the rim of a pot, pan or bowl. You tilt the whole pot over the sink and liquid runs out through the strainer while the food stays behind in the pot.
Draining without moving food into a separate colander saves a step and a dish, and the clips can stay on during cooking. Its limitation is that the listing never states the hole size or a heat limit, so delicate or tiny foods are a guess.
Who it's for
Weeknight pasta, boiled potatoes and blanched vegetables drained right at the stove are what it serves. Cooks who mostly rinse small grains or berries should look at a fine mesh sieve instead.
Pros and cons
- Drains straight from the pot
- Clips grip pots, pans and bowls
- Can stay attached while cooking
- Flexible silicone stores compactly
- Hole size not listed
- Fits nearly all pots per the maker, not every one
- Full pot must be lifted and tilted to drain
- Warranty excludes damage from misuse
Performance notes
Drainage depends on how tightly the clips hold the silicone against the rim, since any gap lets food slip past. Heavier foods like potatoes stay back because the strainer covers only part of the rim and the pot does the holding. Flow speed is set by the hole pattern, which the listing does not describe.

Frequently asked questions
How do I clean the Kitchen Gizmo Snap N Strain?
The listing says it is dishwasher safe. Unclip it from the pot and wash it in the dishwasher with your other utensils.
Is the Snap N Strain a replacement for a colander bowl?
No. It is a clip-on strainer that covers part of the pot rim, so food stays in the pot and only the liquid pours out. You still need a sink or bowl to catch the water.
Will the Kitchen Gizmo strainer fit my pot or mixing bowl?
The maker says it is flexible enough for nearly all pots, pans and bowls and snaps on with two clips. Very thick or unusual rims are not addressed.
What does the Kitchen Gizmo warranty cover?
Damage caused by misuse voids it.
