Colanders & Strainers

Commercial Colanders and Strainers

Colanders and strainers sit in the sink more often than any other tool. Pasta boils over if you don’t drain it fast enough. Vegetables need rinsing between tasks. Stainless steel holds up better than plastic, which warps the moment hot water touches it.

The handles stay cool, and rust doesn’t happen even when you drain tomatoes or other acidic stuff.​

Trade Insight

Fine mesh catches rice or quinoa without losing grains through the holes. Regular colanders work fine for pasta, but smaller items fall through. Pick based on what you drain most.​
