This foldable silicone colander comes with comfortable plastic side handles and perforated walls to drain water from pasta, fruits and vegetables. It can endure high heat to handle blanched food, with a stable base to stay balanced on counters or sinks. Holding up to 5 quarts, it stretches across most pots and basins. It shrinks down thin after use to cut down storage room, and it can be cleaned easily in dishwashers for daily kitchen prep tasks.
