We've had a few strainers, but none have worked as good as this one.

Really like this product. Adjusts to many sized pans easily. I use it often.

Works great but wish it was taller. Drained 1 lb of hamburger meat and it just fit the into the top of the drainer.

Works great. I used it immediately when making couscous.

Always been old school using a massive strainer for all types of pasta as I was usually cooking for a lot of people but as sone of the kids grew up and there's only 2 or 3 people to cook for this is the best! It doesn't take up a ton of room in the dishwasher and works great! It seems pretty darn durable too since it's already been used a bunch of times since I bought it.

As many reviewers have noted, the photos of this are misleading in that they show it being used with pos that seem to be ‘over flowing’ with pasta or fruit. Clearly it won’t work with large amounts of food because, as many reviewers have noted, when the pot is turned just past vertical, so that all the liquid will run out, food may fall over the top of the strainer: who needs a strainer that doesn’t strain all the liquid. I have been using this device a least 1-2 times a week for those ‘drain off tasks’ where you don’t really want to pour everything into a real colander: excess liquids, particularly fat. It works great for all those tasks where we used to try and drain by holding the pot’s lid ajar while liquids oozed out a thin crescent opening between lid and pan rim. This is what I purchased it for and it works great. I have also used it for pasta and vegetables and found that it works well for 2-3 servings (e.g., 8-10 oz of pasta) but as with just about any material you need to pour slow and use a scraper to pull the food down behind the device so it won’t come out over the top. That said, if your primary action is to take a whole pot of food and remove all the liquid, as with pasta or boiled vegetables, then you should stick with a regular ‘basket type colander.

I have only used the strainer and the little brush, but have had this over a month, wanted to use it regularly before writing a review, this is really great if you are living in an apartment maybe even a dorm, this has replaced many of my stainers its so simple to drain things right after you cook, I have only washed it by hand but it seems pretty sturdy. so far its fit on many of my pots I've used and haven't had any problems with it slipping off the pots or not fitting, this product is very useful for me in a busy household with young children as I can just leave it in a drawer when im done cooking grab it, my oldest can even help out and use it. would buy another when needed, will give a few of these for my other mom friends as a gift

I have wanted one of these for the longest time - now I can't believe I didn't get it sooner. I have a collapsible silicone strainer, bought to save space, but it is still another step to use and clean. So I would often do the "cheat" thing and try to drain pasta or potatoes by pouring the water out while holding a "spider" against the side of the pan... which doesn't work so well. Especially when little elbow macaronis would escape and I would sneak them back in the pan while no one was looking. But I would still do it while resisting to get the bigger strainer out. Lazy, I know. And of course there's always the scooping of hamburger grease out of the skillet with a spoon and trying to get the rest sopped up with a paper towel on the edge of the hot pan. Let's just say I'm not Ina Garten, ok?This handy strainer has come to the rescue. It clipped right on the pan with a snug fit and the cooking water drained off easily and completely. Isn't it amazing how much better mashed potatoes taste when you don't leave extra water in the bottom of the pan? (Not that I ever admitted doing that.) And then, you just rinse this baby off and it stows in a drawer. Gotta love that. And the color choices are nice as well. I'm into cobalt blue in the kitchen these days, so this one made me happy on that front. Hmmm... I may be more like the Barefoot Contessa than I thought!It also occurred to me that this will be especially good for pasta. If you're a cooking show junkie like me, you know you need to reserve some pasta cooking water in case you need to add it to the sauce. Well, now you can just pour some in a cup without getting out a ladle. How about that? (And if you're NOT thinning your sauce with pasta water as needed, shame on you!)The bonus items are a nice touch from the seller. If you don't already have a silicone brush, you will love it. As for the garlic peeler, I'm not a fan. My friend has one and it just looks so fussy to me to use a contraption to peel garlic. And then have to clean the contraption. C'mon, home chefs... lay the garlic on the cutting board, give it one good whack with the side of a chef's knife and the peel slides right off. Who wants to be a weenie and roll the garlic around in a plastic tube when you can be a knife-wielding ninja? (Unless you have severe arthritis, and then you are excused.) But the seller does show this garlic thingy used as a cover for a hot pan handle and I can get down with that. I'm flexible that way.I did appreciate the message from the seller checking on my purchase and letting me know they are a small company who appreciates good feedback. It's high on my list to support small businesses who actually provide customer service. Bravo for that, Salbree.So that's a lot to say about a little silicone strainer, but isn't it nice to have fun with things like this that can save you any iota of drudgery? Definitely a "first world" problem/solution, but hey... that's where I live. And I'm grateful. Meanwhile, I'm getting mad kitchen skills with products like this and that can only mean one thing... move over, Ina. There could be a new Contessa in town!
