HIC Kitchen Stainless Steel Colander 5 qt

Description

HIC Kitchen Pierced Colander is a versatile stainless steel tool for washing, draining, steaming, and blanching a wide variety of ingredients. Made from heavyweight 0.5mm brushed stainless steel, the pierced bowl is stronger and sturdier than mesh to tackle heavier tasks while allowing liquids to drain away quickly. The large 5-quart capacity accommodates family-size pasta portions, big batches of produce, and everyday meal prep for entertaining. Its sturdy handles offer secure maneuvering of hot contents, and the footed base elevates foods above liquids for efficient draining and improved drain flow that keeps ingredients from resting in standing water. The brushed stainless finish helps reduce visible water spots for a clean appearance, even with frequent use. The colander fits comfortably inside most stockpots or over mixing bowls for added versatility in busy kitchens. It also functions as a vegetable steamer when placed over a pot of boiling water, and it easily reheats cooked vegetables and pasta with a quick dunk. The sturdy heavyweight construction manages heavier foods without flexing, and it is equally useful for blanching fresh produce and draining it thoroughly before freezing. Designed for long-lasting performance and effortless maintenance, it is dishwasher safe for quick cleanup.
