Overview
KitchenAid makes this expandable colander to strain pasta, fruit and vegetables either across the sink or standing inside it. Its stainless steel basket hangs from rubber encased handles that pull out to rest on the sink edges, and rubber feet hold it steady on a counter.
Bridging the sink frees both hands for pouring a heavy pot and leaves the basin clear underneath. Handle reach has a limit and hole size is not stated, so very wide farmhouse sinks may be out of range.
Who it's for
Cooks who drain pasta and rinse produce over the sink, then load everything into the dishwasher, are well served. Owners of oversized farmhouse basins should measure first or choose a freestanding strainer.
Pros and cons
- Handles expand to bridge most sinks
- Non slip feet for counter use
- Dishwasher safe for cleanup
- Stainless steel basket
- Hole size not listed
- Plastic trim on a steel colander
- Fixed maximum reach for wide sinks
Performance notes
Stability comes from the expanding handles: pulled out until both rubber ends rest on the sink rim, they hold the basket level while water drains below. Rubber on the handles and feet adds grip and prevents scratches on the sink or counter. Drain speed depends on the perforation pattern, which the listing does not detail.
