Bonus, this stops alien AND government brain mapping to manipulate your thoughts. You definitely need one and I believe it is available with the family plan option to buy multiple colanders. Warning do not attempt to wear it while in the dishwasher. **Q: In which country is this made?** A: China . . . . disappointingly so. **Q: Will quinoa fall through the holes?** A: Hi Rachel,I was unfamiliar with quinoa, but I looked at a picture of some (shown in a teaspoon for scale). I think it will fall through. I would try to find a finer sieve with a screen-like steel mesh. D. **Q: Does this colander easily dent or become misshapen? The perforations make the walls seem rather fragile.** A: Amazon included this colander in a large box that constaned several heavy items. The colander was found dented upon arrival. It was returned and re-ordered. It is otherwise a very nice colander. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would buy again *by on Reviewed in the United States August 4, 2026* Sturdy. Durable. Quality. Good size. Easy to store ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ample and durable strainer (not mesh) *by on Reviewed in the United States March 6, 2026* Great quality for the money. I use this everyday. It’s well made with small holes but not mesh. I don’t like mesh ones. We mostly use for rinsing and draining leafy vegetables for our bunnies. Great size and we just put in dishwasher to clean. No rust at all so it’s stainless steel for real. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple and solid *by on Reviewed in the United States December 30, 2025* This is a metal colander and it works. It’s good quality and does what it’s supposed to do. The holes are tiny, which I like, and so far no noodles or rice have fallen through yet.It fits in the dishwasher without any issues, which is a plus. No complaints from me.Good quality, it's not super malleable, and the mesh is a good thickness. I use it all the time. Worth the money.The handles also don't get hot from what I've noticed. But it won't fit on a basic pan if you strain from placing the colander inside it. You should use the sink. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bellemain Colander for Kitchen – 5 Qt Stainless Steel Strainer with Handle - 18/8 Pasta Strainer Bowl for Pasta, Spaghetti, Vegetables, Fruit, and Pot Draining - Stainless Steel Colander - Cuisinart Mesh Strainers, 3 Count (Pack of 1) Set, CTG-00-3MS Silver - Pyrex Essentials (3-Pack) Glass Measuring Cups Set, (1, 2 & 4 Cup) Measuring Cups For Prepping, Baking and Cooking, Preheated Oven, Dishwasher, Freezer, and Microwave Safe --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/9676083-stainless-steel-colander-for-kitchen-5-qt-pasta-and-rice](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/9676083-stainless-steel-colander-for-kitchen-5-qt-pasta-and-rice) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-19*
