It's also comfortable to hold and can be used on your countertop as a basket. No matter how you use it, we think you'll love the versatility of this colander.

The holes are up to 0.2 inches in diameter, so this colander will not work for rice, quinoa, and most small grains.BPA Free - This plastic colander is BPA free, so you can use it to prepare healthy meals for your family. It is 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 will never rust.
