Jonathan's Spoons Pot Strainer

To maintain the wood's integrity and prevent drying, hand wash the strainer with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately. Periodically treat the wood with a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner to keep it hydrated and help it develop a rich patina.

The strainer is designed with integrated notches to secure it against the rims of most standard pots. Because it is a manual tool, it works best on pots with a defined rim or lip, though it may not be compatible with extremely thick-walled or specialty cookware.

No, this strainer is not dishwasher safe. The high heat and intense moisture of a dishwasher cycle will cause the natural cherry wood to warp, crack, or splinter over time.

Yes. Jonathan's Spoons uses sustainable cherry wood that is food-safe and durable. It is designed specifically to handle the heat of boiling water and pasta or vegetables without leaching chemicals or compromising the integrity of the wood.

This pot strainer is more compact and efficient for quick tasks like draining pasta or steamed vegetables directly from the pot. While a metal colander is better for rinsing large volumes of produce, this wooden tool is ideal for minimizing cleanup and saving counter space.
