Large Fine Mesh Strainer for Kitchen - Metal Stainless Steel Colander for Rice, Pasta, Quinoa, Yogurt (11x4 In)

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.

Strong design is great, works wonderful for smaller grains and Couscous and Quinoa. It's relatively easy to clean. It gets used several times a week! works great and cleans up easily.

I really like this mesh bowl. It's large, like a mixing bowl and I can put more than 4 cups of rice in it to wash it prior to cooking. It is fine mesh like a strainer but the size makes it a keeper. I love this thing.

Perfect for quinoa and tiny grains!High quality!

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 perfect! I needed it to rinse quinoa…which meant it needed to have very tiny holes for only water to pass through. And it works perfectly for that. So glad I found just the right one!

Perfect for washing Koshihikari rice.

Arrived quickly, has the fine mesh that I needed to replace older one which was more flimsy. Slightly harder to clean due to supports.
