Colander with Handle Adhesive Hooks Heavy Duty 304 Stainless Steel Colander Stainless Steel Dinner Plate coffee machine mat Review: Absolutely the Best - I watched a mini-documentary about a chef who was rice obsessed. He spent years testing rice varieties and cooking techniques to make the perfect rice. I saw this colander in the doc a used google images to find it. It’s incredible. Rinsing rice, lentils, beans etc is soooo much easier with this design. The hole size is probably too big for quinoa and really small grain rice but perfect for everything else. I am super happy with this piece. Review: Worth the price - We purchased for rinsing rice, works fantastic, slightly smaller than expected but no complaints. ## Features - PRECISION DRAIN, NO FOOD LOST: Uniform 2mm fine mesh holes drain water fast while keeping rice, quinoa, lentils, and small berries securely inside. Rinse a full carton of strawberries or a pound of grapes — nothing slips through the cracks. - SOLID 304 STAINLESS STEEL, BUILT TO LAST: One-piece rust-resistant body with mirror-polished interior. No coatings to peel, no plastics to leach into your food. Stays gleaming bright wash after wash — dishwasher to drying rack, zero maintenance. - 2-IN-1 COLANDER + MIXING BOWL THAT NEST FOR STORAGE: Rinse produce in the colander, then flip to the deep 2-quart mixing bowl for tossing salads, marinating meat, or prepping ingredients. They stack together — takes half the cabinet space of separate pieces. - EFFORTLESS CLEANUP — DISHWASHER SAFE: Smooth polished surface resists food sticking. Light use? Rinse under the tap and you are done. Heavy meal prep? Pop both pieces straight into the dishwasher. Perfect for busy weeknights and Sunday batch-cooking. - DESIGNED FOR SMALL KITCHENS & BIG MEALS: Wide 8.65-inch diameter fits any standard sink. Rolled rim gives you a secure, comfortable grip even when full. A practical gift for new homeowners, college students, and anyone who cooks in a compact space. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D524V5HY | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,873 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #9 in Colanders | | Brand | Paoli | | Brand Name | Paoli | | Color | Gold with handle | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 45 Reviews | | Included Components | • 1 × Fine Mesh Colander (8.65" diameter, 2mm hole pattern) • 1 × 2-Quart Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | Yes | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 8.65"L x 8.65"W x 3.2"H | | Item Type Name | 304 Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Colander Set | | Item Weight | 400 Grams | | Manufacturer | Paoli | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Mesh Opening Size | 2 Millimeters | | Model Number | Paoli00001 | | Product Dimensions | 8.65"L x 8.65"W x 3.2"H | | Style | Fine | | Style Name | Fine | | Unit Count | 2.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Paoli - **Color:** Gold with handle - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Product Dimensions:** 8.65"L x 8.65"W x 3.2"H - **Style:** Stainless Steel ## Images ![Paoli 304 Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Colander Set, 2QT Large Capacity Strainer with Mixing Bowl — Rinse Fruits, Veggies, Rice & Drain Pasta, Dishwasher Safe (2-Piece Gold) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-C9k+AJgL.jpg) ![Paoli 304 Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Colander Set, 2QT Large Capacity Strainer with Mixing Bowl — Rinse Fruits, Veggies, Rice & Drain Pasta, Dishwasher Safe (2-Piece Gold) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81AyJiS4cjL.jpg) ![Paoli 304 Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Colander Set, 2QT Large Capacity Strainer with Mixing Bowl — Rinse Fruits, Veggies, Rice & Drain Pasta, Dishwasher Safe (2-Piece Gold) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81W9dyT4j3L.jpg) ![Paoli 304 Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Colander Set, 2QT Large Capacity Strainer with Mixing Bowl — Rinse Fruits, Veggies, Rice & Drain Pasta, Dishwasher Safe (2-Piece Gold) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BqU8gazqL.jpg) ![Paoli 304 Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Colander Set, 2QT Large Capacity Strainer with Mixing Bowl — Rinse Fruits, Veggies, Rice & Drain Pasta, Dishwasher Safe (2-Piece Gold) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71V-2YUvWQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between this handle colander and the regular bowl set?** A: It comes with side handles, making it easier to lift, hold, rinse, and pour water out while washing rice, pasta, fruit, and vegetables.
