How it works: 

This is a nifty contraption! This colander can be used like any other, whether you are washing fruit or straining pasta. But it isn’t just a colander, this folds up to the depth of a chopping board so it can be easily stored away. Something I particularly appreciate, as we all know the struggle of ‘that kitchen cupboard’ with all our pans and strainers! You can also adjust the handle length to adapt to any sink size and use it hands-free!

Why I would recommend it:

This colander is perfect for everyone, it allows users to rest colander on the sink, completely reducing the issue of holding a boiling hot pan in one hand and a wobbly plastic colander in another. 

How It Works:

Push the section with holes down to create a bowl-like shape and pull the handles out! The main bowl is a little stiff so I use my fist, but you could always use a utensil to push it down if you didn’t have enough strength. Then you are ready to use it like any normal colander or sieve, and I mean if you’ve never used a sieve or colander before then I’d love to know how you drain your pasta?

Ideal User:

Everyone! Pasta lovers, vegetable growers, rice spillers and everyone in between. It could be considered expensive in comparison to other colanders, but it's so worth it to make cooking a little more accessible!
