Juvale Fine Mesh Strainer 11" x 4" - Stainless Steel Rice Strainer & Mesh Colander for Pasta, Quinoa & Yogurt - (Silver Colour)

The Best strainer. Ok, I bought this for aquarium gravel. It is so easy to rinse gravel using this strainer. No gravel escapes,even during the scrubbing process, all the gravel stays safely inside. No problems with keeping it from going down a drain. The design is flawless, the holes are tiny, but there are so many of them. It rinses and drains quickly.Super easy to clean, and store. Even the price was good for such a nice, lightweight, handy strainer. I recommend thisfor all your straining needs.

Just getting back into making yogurt agajn using my instant pot and this strainer is a joy. I love the size, I love the weight, I love the mesh. It is reasonably easy to clean. I am looking forward to getting all kinds of use out of this, great value for the money. (Like other reviewers have said though, it would be nice to have handles of some sort)

This was exactly what I wanted ! Good size and quality...love itt!!

I recently purchased the Large Fine Mesh Pasta Strainer, an 11x4 inch metal colander, primarily for pasta, but soon discovered its versatility in my kitchen. Here's my comprehensive review based on its performance, design, and overall utility.**Design and Build Quality:** The first thing I noticed about this strainer was its sturdy construction. Made from high-quality metal, it feels durable and well-made, assuring long-term use. The fine mesh design is particularly impressive, making it suitable for straining various items without worrying about smaller particles slipping through.**Size and Capacity:** At 11x4 inches, this strainer is generously sized, perfect for large batches of pasta, quinoa, or rice. It's also deep enough to hold a substantial amount, which is great for preparing meals for families or gatherings.**Versatility:** Beyond pasta, this strainer excels in a variety of kitchen tasks. It's fantastic for rinsing quinoa, which often slips through coarser colanders, and works wonderfully for straining homemade yogurt or soft cheeses. Its fine mesh also makes it suitable for sifting dry ingredients for baking.**Ease of Use and Cleaning:** The strainer is easy to handle, with a comfortable grip that ensures stability while straining hot or heavy items. Cleaning is a breeze, as it's dishwasher safe. However, for finer particles like quinoa, a quick rinse under the tap before dishwashing is recommended to avoid residue sticking to the mesh.**Efficiency:** The fine mesh allows for quick draining, saving time and making the cooking process more efficient. This is particularly notable when straining smaller grains or pasta types.**Aesthetics:** Its sleek metal design looks good in any kitchen, complementing other stainless-steel appliances and tools.**Limitations:** While the large size is an advantage for most tasks, it might be cumbersome for smaller kitchen spaces or for those who only need to strain small quantities.**Conclusion:** The Large Fine Mesh Pasta Strainer is a valuable addition to any kitchen, especially for those who frequently cook pasta, grains, or homemade dairy products. Its quality build, versatility, and efficient design make it a great investment, despite its larger size which may not suit all users. It's a tool that goes beyond its primary function, proving its worth in numerous culinary scenarios.

This is a truly fantastic, veerrrrrrrry fine mesh strainer. Good for quinoa, rice, steel-cut oats, etc. I've had for almost 3 years, using several times a week, and it has not rusted, warped, or misbehaved in any way. It is sturdy, it sits flat on the counter, and doesn't bend if tapped firmly on the rim.That said, because of its very fine mesh, it is ... painful to clean - soggy steel-cut oat grains get stuck in-between the mesh, and no amount of scrubbing or brushing will get the bit out (maybe flossing?). Therefore, I suggest using running water, and not using the colander for soaking things that get mushy.My only complaint is the size: at 10 inches, it is ginormous. Which is great for washing 3 cups of rice or 5 cups of quinoa, but I do wish it came in smaller sizes.

Works well

Sturdy base, well made, perfect size
