Surgical Stainless Steel Colander

Acolanderis a bowl-shaped kitchen utensil with holes in it used for draining food such as pasta or rice.

The perforated nature of the colander allows liquid to drain through while retaining the solids inside. It is sometimes also called a pasta strainer orkitchen sieve.

Conventionally, colanders are made of a light metal, such as aluminium or thinly rolled stainless steel, but some colanders are made of plastic or silicone.
