Stalgast deep colander with handles, 280 mm diameter

A deep colander holds food above the draining liquid so water or oil runs away without carrying small pieces with it. The bowl's sloped sides and perforated base create a large surface area that lets liquid escape quickly while keeping solids safely inside. This method prevents soggy vegetables, crisp batters or delicate pasta shapes from breaking apart during draining, and it speeds up service when large batches are needed at once.

The operator places the colander on a stable worktop, in a sink or over a receiving vessel. Food is loaded from above, either directly from a boiling pan or after a brief rest in a straining basket. Once the liquid has drained, the two side handles allow the colander to be lifted and carried without spilling, even when it is full. The deep sides also let the colander double as a temporary holding vessel for washed salad leaves, blanched greens or freshly peeled potatoes before they move to the next stage.

Made from stainless steel, the colander resists corrosion and staining from acidic or salty foods. The metal conducts heat evenly, so it can be used straight from a hot-water rinse without warping. A stable base keeps the colander from tipping when it is set down on a wet or uneven surface.

The two handles are positioned opposite each other for balanced lifting. They are shaped to fit the hand comfortably and are welded to the bowl for strength. The entire unit is dishwasher-safe, so it can be cleaned alongside other stainless-steel utensils at the end of a shift.

A diameter of 280 mm gives the colander a wide footprint that fits most commercial sinks and prep sinks. The size also allows it to sit securely on standard worktops without overhanging edges, making it easy to integrate into existing kitchen layouts.

The colander is supplied as a single unit, ready for immediate use in professional catering environments.
