Versatile - Easy to use and versatile. Stretch over your kitchen sink to rinse vegetables and fruit, drain pasta, defrost frozen foods, or use as a dish drainer to air dry utensils, cups, and small plates. It's also comfortable to hold and can be used on your counter as a shopping cart. No matter how you use it, we think you'll love the versatility of this colander. Modern Design - Adjustable, this colander expands from 14.5 to 19.5 inches to hold more or less, saving space when not in use and fitting most sinks. When stretched over the sink, the bottom is lifted off the base of your sink, preventing dripping pasta water from backing up into your food. Drains quickly - Des Evenly spaced holes in the bottom of the basket help drain water quickly while preventing food from falling down drains. The holes measure up to 0.2 inches in diameter, so this strainer will not work for rice, quinoa, and most small grains. BPA Free - This plastic strainer is BPA free, so you can use it to prepare healthy meals for your family. It's also very durable, sturdy, and heat resistant up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Dishwasher Safe - Unlike some traditional colanders, this colander is easy to clean, dishwasher safe and never rust.
