Overview
A 5-quart (1.25 gallon) collapsible colander with a plastic base and silicone folding sides, sized for draining pasta or rinsing produce and folding flat for storage. Suits anyone replacing an all-silicone strainer that punctured or wobbled in the sink.
It still collapses for storage, so it keeps the space-saving benefit of a silicone strainer while adding a firmer base.
- 5-quart (1.25 gallon) capacity
- Plastic base with folding silicone sides
- Fits over most kitchen sinks
- Collapses flat for storage
Who it's for
Fits cooks who tried an all-silicone collapsible colander before and found the bottom too soft or prone to puncturing. Less ideal for anyone who wants the lowest possible folded thickness, since the plastic base adds some rigidity compared to fully silicone designs.
Pros and cons
- Plastic base resists puncturing and standing water, unlike all-silicone designs
- Fits a full batch of pasta or larger produce like peppers and apples
- Collapses flat for dishwasher and drawer storage
- May need tilting to fully drain depending on hole placement
- Seams can start separating at the creases after years of heavy folding
