Designed for both home cooks and food enthusiasts, the Good Grips Silicone Cooking Colander is a unique, all-in-one product. The colander is easily collapsed and deployed, with a pop-and-punch interaction that is both useful and fun. The traditional, familiar hanging basket form has been updated with a pop-up silicone basket. A long rubberized handle keeps hands away from heat, increasing safety and comfort. This design allows parboiling, boiling, blanching, steaming, straining and cooling to be done with one tool. When collapsed, the low profile colander also allows compact storage in cramped quarters.
