ExcelSteel Colander Set Stainless Steel | Nesting Design | Mirror Polished | Oversized Handles | 1-4 Quart, Set of 3

Very well made material and stacks perfectly to fit in the cabinet

Every kitchen should have this set.

I absolutely love this set of three stainless steel colanders. They come in different sizes, which is super convenient for when I’m cooking my dinners and I need more than one colander for different dishes. Whether I’m rinsing fruit, draining pasta, or washing veggies, these come in clutch every time. They’re really sturdy without being too heavy, and the holes are just the right size so food doesn’t slip through. Plus, they’re so easy to clean and look really nice too. I love how shiny they get when you wash them. These were definitely a great buy— I use them almost every day. Get you some! You’ll love them.

I ordered these to replace some pretty plastic ones that are no longer considered food safe. They have the same design as an older one I’ve had for years. These are lighter weight with thinner metal, but they look like the style I wanted. This style has a nice vintage look, but it would also work well in any kitchen. They stand up away from the sink surface, and this helps prevent cross contamination. This style is easy to handle and easy to drain. I like having different sizes. I discovered by accident that they’re good for storing potatoes, possibly because they stay cool and because they block more light than my old plastic baskets did. I ordered some vintage looking round fabric trivets to put underneath them to protect surfaces. And I also ordered some natural colored cotton mesh bags for produce to use with them for storing produce as necessary. These added items give the colanders an even better vintage look while serving necessary purposes. I’ve never had rust issues with my old one. I’m not sure about these new ones yet, but I always dry metal items immediately just in case. The weld marks show on both these new ones and my old one, so that’s normal. The new ones have scratches on inner surfaces, possibly from the factory or possibly from someone who tried to clean them with something abrasive before returning them. I got them on sale, so I’m going to use them anyway. Returns are difficult for me and I don’t get upset about minor imperfections with discounted items. These colanders are quite versatile because you can use them to store produce or other items. They look good stacked and they’re attractive enough to leave in view if storage space is limited. The instructions mention a possible residue that should be carefully cleaned off before use. It’s a black, sticky residue that will clean off easily with soap and water and a safe scrubber, like the kind used with nonstick pans. If you prefer to use your fingernail to remove it, you should probably push it away from you so that the residue doesn’t get packed underneath your fingernail. It might contain chemicals that shouldn’t be against your skin for long. Baking soda also makes a safe scrubbing option.

Little more lightweight than anticipated but still quality product. Use nearly every day.

I gave this as a gift, she loved it.

These are lighter than expected and feel cheap. The drainage holes aren’t always effective, you have to tilt and swirl it around to get it to drain.

Light weight but excellent quality.
