Kitchen Gizmo Snap N' Strain - Silicone Pasta Strainer Clip-On for Pots and Pans - Heat Resistant Colander for Vegetables and Noodles - Kitchen Gadgets for Cooking - Space-Saving Design - Gray

Such a smart purchase! I really like the way it attaches to all my small to medium size pots to make straining easier and I don't have to dirty a colander. It's durable, doesn't leak, is easy to store, and washs up easily by hand or in the dishwasher.

I would give this 25 STARS if I could! Awesome item! Works great! Easier to clean than any strainer that I have ever used! Just attach it to the pot and pour off the water. No need to pour the pasta into a different pot. Love, love, Love this Item!!!

Easy to use, easy to clean. Nice little gadget. I do suspect the little clamps will wear out over time and I'll eventually dump a whole pot of pasta into the sink when it does. But for the price, it works fine!

Fabuloso! Actually a really great gadget for the kitchen. It's easy to snap on a pot or pan and forms well to the different sizes. Highly recommend.

My kids are currently in the Mac and Cheese phase, and they only want the one that comes in the blue box with the powdered cheese. Easy enough, but draining the macaroni is a total pain since I have to 1, get out my colander or 2, try the "drain the water through the lid loosely on the pot" trick. Option 1 requires tedious washing of the colander and then having to put it away since it doesn't fit into a drawer. I hate that process so much that I often go for option 2, which results in either incomplete drainage, or the inevitable loss of a few good noodles. Well, I'm happy to report that this little gadget solves my problems and makes making mac and cheese a breeze!The strainer attaches to my 2 quart sized pot easily and the clips are strong enough to hold on pretty tight. I wasn't sure how this was going to behave, but it's thick and made of good quality silicone and doesn't warp or slip out while I'm draining the water. It's also pretty easy to attach to the pot, even while it's full of boiling water. I wasn't sure how that was going to work and worried that I might burn myself, but that hasn't happened. It's no more dangerous than putting the lid on the pot. Once the strainer is on, tilt the pot and all the water comes out and the noodles stay in place. Taking the strainer off is easy, but a bit of a struggle because of the strong grip (which is a good thing since you don't want the strainer coming loose while you're draining).The strainer is easy to wash and rinse off, and takes up a lot less space than your colander, so I store it in my drawer with my spatula and whisk and other random stuff. I've also used this to drain spaghetti noodles when cooking for the entire family in my large 8-quart stockpot and it stays on that larger diameter pot pretty well. It also works on my 10 inch frying pan and 12 inch skillet. It's ingenious how this little thing will contort itself to fit whatever size pot or pan I throw at it and not let anything slip past it. Amazing. As others have mentioned, I've used this to drain the fat after cooking ground beef and it works great.I've used this for a couple months now and so far it hasn't warped, discolored, melted, or done anything except clip on to my pots and pans with a death grip and drain whatever I need. The only thing that this won't clip to is my cast iron skillet since it's too thick. Other than that, this thing will clip on to your standard pots and frying pans that are about 1/8 inch thick, even with a lip.Overall, very happy with this purchase. I wish I had bought it sooner. I initially thought $12 was a bit too much for some floppy silicone and two clips, but I've come to realize this is worth it.

I bought the Snap N Strain Pot and Pasta Strainer as an alternative to my traditional silicone colander. My previous colander broke, and I am in the process of moving, so I was looking for something on the inexpensive and smaller side that would prove convenient and not bulky when it came time to move to my new place. I intend on buying a more traditional colander, but I thought this would be a great substitute in the meantime.As someone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen, I was really excited to find an easier way to strain my food, finding something that allows me to keep the food still in the pot, rather than having to transfer the food back and forth between the pot and colander.In simple terms, does it strain the food, yes. Were there some challenges, yes.When I first used the strainer, I thought the concept itself was very easy to understand, but I found when attaching the strainer to the pot, you have to really push down on the strainer for it to clip onto the pot and become secured. While I like that the strainer does become rather secure once clipped on properly, it is the struggle to get it clipped on that I find worrisome. When dealing with hot food/liquids, the last thing I want to do is feel like I am struggling with the pot/strainer.I also found that, depending on the size of your food, the food can slip out on the top. I've noticed this more so is the case with larger food items or when you have more food in the pot, for example, a family-size box of tortellini. This can prove wasteful if you're not careful. I recommend a bowl underneath or something to try to catch the food. You also need to tilt the pot quite a bit to get all the water out. I have found that some water can get trapped and you can't really shake out the water like with a traditional colander.Despite the issues I found, I think this is a great tool when you're in a bind. I don't think it replaces all the benefits I have found with a traditional colander, but it does what I need it to do for now. Once I move into my new place and purchase my preferred colander, can I say that this will be moving from its spot in the cupboard? No, I don't think so.

Ready to use and easy to clean. We love it!

The most convenient strainer. Great draining capacity, the grip is amazing. I love this strainer, and all my friends who has seen it have also ordered one.
