Stalgast Stainless Steel Colander with Handles, Ø 255 mm

A colander separates solids from liquids by holding food over a bowl, sink or worktop while the liquid drains through perforations in the base. The shallow, wide shape spreads the load evenly, preventing the food from compacting and blocking the holes. A stable rim or base keeps the colander from tipping, so the operator can load and unload without spills. Handles on either side allow a firm grip when the colander is full, and they also let it hang from a hook or tap when not in use, saving space on crowded worktops.

To use the colander, place it on a flat surface or in a sink. Load the food into the bowl, ensuring it is evenly distributed so the liquid can flow freely through the perforations. Once drained, lift the colander by the handles and transfer the contents to a serving dish or storage container. The shallow depth and wide diameter make it easy to shake or stir the food to speed up draining.

The colander is made from stainless steel, which resists corrosion and staining from acidic or salty foods. The material is also non-reactive, so it does not alter the taste or colour of the food. The two handles are integrated into the rim, providing a secure grip even when the colander is heavy with food. The base is flat, allowing it to sit securely on a worktop or in a sink without wobbling.

The diameter of 255 mm gives a generous surface area for draining large quantities of food at once, reducing the need for multiple batches. The size is compact enough to store in a standard cupboard or hang from a hook when not in use. The colander is dishwasher safe, allowing for quick and hygienic cleaning after each use.

This colander is a single model with no variants. It is designed for general kitchen use, including draining pasta, rinsing vegetables, or straining stocks and sauces.
