HENDI Profi Line 365 mm Stainless Steel Colander

A colander separates solids from liquids by allowing the liquid to drain through perforations while retaining the food. In professional kitchens, this process is used for rinsing vegetables, draining pasta or blanched greens, and straining stocks or sauces. The perforated bowl sits over a sink or container, and gravity pulls the liquid through the holes, leaving the food ready for the next stage of preparation. To use the HENDI Profi Line colander, place it over a sink or a receiving vessel. Load the food into the bowl, allowing the liquid to flow through the perforations. The twin handles provide a secure grip for lifting and emptying, while the base keeps the colander stable when set down. Once drained, the food can be tipped directly into a pan or onto a worktop. The colander is constructed from stainless steel, a material chosen for its resistance to corrosion and staining. The bowl, handles and base are all formed from the same grade of steel, ensuring consistent durability. The 70 mm handles are positioned on opposite sides of the bowl, and the base is integrated into the bowl's design. The 365 mm diameter determines the volume of food the colander can hold at once, while the 1.38 kg weight makes it light enough to lift when full. The 505 mm overall length, 390 mm width and 185 mm height define the space it occupies on a worktop or shelf. The smooth stainless steel surface lets water drain instantly while resisting stains and odours from acidic sauces or blanched vegetables. The stainless steel surface can be scrubbed with a brush or cloth, and the colander is dishwasher-safe, allowing it to be cleaned alongside other kitchen equipment without risk of damage or discolouration. The HENDI Profi Line colander is categorised under preparation equipment in the professional kitchenware catalogue.
