P&P CHEF Colander Set of 3, Stainless Steel Micro-Perforated Colanders Strainers for Draining Rinsing Washing, Ideal for Pasta Vegetables Fruits, Heavy Duty & Dishwasher Safe - 1/3/5 Quart

I purchased this set of strainers a little over a month ago so I can't vouch for the long-term durability at this point. They do seem to be very well made. I will come back and edit my comment if there are ANY issues during the first year. The first thing I did was run all 3 of them through my dishwasher on the sanitize cycle. They came out perfectly. I like the feet on these. My older one had a solid base which blocked water from draining out of the sink when I was washing off produce. I kept having to lift it up to drain the running water. I did notice a comment about the outside surface being too rough. Perhaps they received a defective set. The inside surface is smooth as silk. The outside surface is slightly less smooth but it's fine and not even worth mentioning. I'm sure the holes where punched from the inside out but the outside surface is smoothed down. The sizes are extremely convenient. I wasn't sure I'd need all three sizes but now I'm so glad I decided to choose this set. The smallest one is great for rinsing single servings of berries etc. I even use it to rinse capers before adding to recipes to reduce the salt content. The middle size and largest size strainers are perfect for everyday use such as straining pasta, rinsing fresh produce, a strainer for collecting veggie cuttings when cleaning them to cook such as peels from potatoes, carrots, and apples. When I make dinner I keep a strainer in the sink to collect scraps like that for the compost bucket on the back porch. I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I have them hanging on the side of my cabinet next to the sink because I'm using all of them constantly, but they can also be stacked and put away. As always with Prime items, if I'm not happy with them or something goes wrong, I can return them for a refund but I have a strong feeling these will last me a very long time. I highly recommend these to anyone who needs a new strainer. You think you need just one until you have this set and discover how handy it is to have all three sizes.

Super sturdy, dishwasher friendly, stacks nice

Very sturdy reliable I like the thickness the draining capacity is great whole size. Perfect all in all the quality is great.

The small holes are the reason I ordered this. The reason 1 star was taken off is the roughness around the holes on the outside of the colander. The "feet" on the bottom could also be a bit higher to avoid water sloshing back into the colander to avoid any drainage issues. Overall....a keeper and it does the job.

Excellent product. Perfect smaller drain holes. Loving the selections in sizes and the performance.

These are great. I use them pretty much every day and have had no issues. We hand wash and they’ve stayed practically brand new after almost a year of usage. The three size options are very convenient. A great price for what you get!

I made an excellent decision. 1. These take up very little space, which is great, because I don't have very much space to place them. They nest well. 2. I got them because I wanted to be able to strain rice or very small particles of food without losing any/much down the drain. I've always been unhappy when my pasta slipped through the strainer holes of my previous strainer. 3. The surfaces of my set are very smooth, so cook pasta, which can be quite sticky, does not get stuck to the inner walls of these strainers before they've drained and I've poured the contents back into the pot. 4. They are light weight. 5. They are sturdy. 6. They are easy to clean & when hand drying them, the cloth doesn't get snagged anywhere on these. 7. Each one came packaged in it's own plastic sleeve, which I appreciate, as it is protecting my product and when/if I need to store them for moving, I will keep the nice streamline box and plastic sleeves that they came in and repackage them. 8. They are stable. Meaning, they don't knock over easily. You don't want run away pasta or other foods clogging your sinks drain. 9. The feet are tall enough to do their job of keeping the strainers out of the liquid passing through them, yet streamline enough to allow for nesting. For a family of 3, I usually only need to use the smallest one for preparing pasta or vegetables. For a family of 5, such as when my Mom and Nana visit us, I use the next size up to strain pasta and we still have enough pasta left over for another 3 people. I rarely ever use the largest one, but it's winter, so I suspect that I'll be using the largest one much more often for retrieving and rinsing vegetables I get from the garden. I have attempted successfully to steam veggies in the smallest strainer, but I probably won't do that again as I had to use a pot much wider than I normally would have had to use, because of the handles. Also, I don't remember seeing that as a function of these. There are only 2 things that would/could make this set better: 1. If the handles collapsed to the sides (and/or pivoted upward to be used as steamer handles) of each strainer for an even more streamline effect. 2. If at least the smallest strainer was capable of straining quinoa or other similar seeds, that would increase it's functionality. That would mean that I could rinse seeds with this set too and wouldn't need another separate kitchen gadget to do it. Such as mesh sieves. Just some thoughts for the designer. :-)

Very nice colander set. I especially like the small drain hole size so there is no loss of food when draining. Well made with 3 nicely sized colanders.

My daughter is more excited than me about these babies. We didn’t realize we needed them as bad as we did. No more silicon ones that rip and tear. These babies are robust! Perfect little one for berries.

ممتاز فعلا وعملي وسعره حلو جدا

I got this bee in my bonnet about getting rid of my plastic colanders so I bought these thinking they simply couldn't be as good. Well, let me tell you, they are BETTER. This set of colanders is fabulous. They work so well at draining and they clean up very easily. I'm in love. haha

Great set of stainless steel colanders to have in the kitchen. Light and easy to clean
