Progressive International Colander

When fully collapsed, this colander shrinks to one-third of its expanded height. It measures approximately 1.7 inches tall when folded, making it easy to slide into narrow gaps between pots or pans.

Yes, the rigid construction is designed to hold its shape under the weight of a full 3-quart load. It features a footed design that keeps it stable and elevated in the sink while you drain.

Absolutely. The colander is fully dishwasher safe, so you can clean it without worrying about the collapsible silicone or plastic components degrading.

The drainage pattern is designed for standard pasta and produce. While it works perfectly for items like spaghetti, penne, or berries, very small grains like quinoa may pass through the holes.

Not at all. The design balances flexibility with structural integrity. Once expanded, the rigid frame locks into place, allowing it to stand securely on its own without collapsing unexpectedly.
