HIC Kitchen Colander

At 7.5 inches in diameter, this colander is best suited for smaller portions, such as a half-pound of pasta, a pint of berries, or a side of vegetables. If you regularly cook for a large family, you may find it too compact for full-sized batches.

High-quality stainless steel is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. To keep it in top condition, we recommend washing it by hand and drying it thoroughly after use rather than letting it air dry in the sink.

The perforations are designed for general rinsing and draining, so very fine grains like quinoa or small-grain rice may pass through the holes. It is ideal for larger items like pasta, potatoes, and most fruits and vegetables.

The elevated base lifts the colander off your countertop, which prevents the bottom from sitting in any drained liquid. This promotes better airflow and keeps your food cleaner and more hygienic while it sits.

Yes, the stainless steel construction is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is generally recommended to maintain the finish and prevent any potential water spotting.
