Best Colanders, Strainers, & Salad Spinners With Reviews

I bought for my daughter 45th Birthday! She had lost her strainer a couple years ago it was my mother who passed and my daughter felt sad about BOY!! Did high and low for this strainer when I saw it I over joyed and tell everyone about WAYFAIR GOD BLESS YOU

I had a bumper crop of tomatoes this summer (2023). My new tomato strainer arrived just in time. The 177 lbs yielded spaghetti, pizza, and BBQ sauce, soup, ketchup, and various types of canned tomatoes. I ran the skins through twice then dehydrated them to use as tomato powder for stews and cocktail sauce. I did all this in 3 days versus last year's week and a half. The strainer worked like a charm. It stayed firmly attached to my counter top, did not leave a mark when I released the suction feature. No mess and easy clean up. I've been canning food for over 45 years. I've used several types of preparation devices over the years. This is by far the most efficient and cleanest one to date. (and just in time for my old age...I've been wondering how much longer I would be up to the task of canning and preserving the produce from our garden. Thanks to my new strainer I'm going to have a few more years left).

Nice sizes. Drains well and hole sizes are too small to let spaghetti go through. They are dishwasher safe but with a caveat that for best results they should be hand dried to avoid water spots as soon as possible. They look nice so that's a small price to pay.

I love that I can just set the colander down and drain my foods without needing to worry about juggling too many things at once. The base design allows for easy draining without the concern of food coming into contact with the sink or any surface you set this product on. Durable and convenient design. I highly recommend for the feature and design!

Love this. Easy to store in cabinet because of the fact that it flattens. I use it for so many things that need to be drained. I had a bright green one and decided to get one that matched my kitchen and flooring...a women thing. LOL Highly recommend this for anyone to use and enjoy the easy cleanup. How it expands is the best part because it will stay in place when pouring hot water from the item you are draining without the fear of it tilting.

I’ve been using this a spinner a couple of months and it does a great job removing water. I’d been using a different brand’s larger hand crank model and this Oxo is definitely an upgrade. The push knob is much easier on my hands and the compact size is handy and convenient. The exterior bowl has a non-skid bottom and the spinning mechanism has a brake button. Cleanup is easy. If I am hand washing, the basket has no sponge shredding parts like my other did. If using the dishwasher, the pieces are easy to fit n the top rack. I rated this 4 instead of 5 stars because I was told during a text chat with an Oxo rep that the parts of the lid do not separate (voids warranty) and that none of the pieces should go through the dishwasher’s heated dry/sanitize cycle, which I like to use. Because I am concerned that mold might be possible inside the spinner mechanism that I can’t see the inside of, I leave the lid on the drying rack for a day after hand drying it. Having said that, I am still very happy with it. It’s also easy to store not only because of the smaller size, but because the knob pushes down and locks so it’s not sticking up.

Needed to get a new colander to replace an old plastic one. Decided to try a Good Grips product as I have enjoyed many of their other cooking tools. The Colander is fantastic and I really like the small holes, so that I don't end up having bits of broccoli go down the drain when rinsing it! Plus the 5 quart size a great improvement as many of the other colanders I have used are just not big enough for rinsing large quantities of veggies. Great addition to my kitchen and Good Grips comes through again with the win!

Arrived quickly and well packaged so that my GLEAMING Colander arrived undamaged. I absolutely love it. It was a certainly a bargain! Shines just like the in the photo! Very happy with my purchase. Pros: Great Value .... Large which makes it versatile (I'm going to place in my large pot to steam vegetables and it will certainly hold a large bunch of fresh broccoli or a large head of cauliflower) Cons: NONE

For the price paid since wasn't looking to spend a great deal, I'm pleased with the set so far. Sizes options are a huge plus. Very light weight and the handles seem pretty sturdy. Easy to store, also a huge plus. It will be interesting to see how the stainless steal holds up to use and whether there'll be any rusting. Very thin and does seem as though they might bend easily. Used the smaller two once each thus far. Made certain to dry thoroughly, which I hope will help prevent rusting and help them to last.

The wash bin and the colander are extremely practical and they complement my Prolific sink to a tee! I would highly recommend these well made products. Can these two accessories come in the DOVE GREY colour just like in the Multipurpose grated rack?? I find the white colour a little stark in my warm earthy tone kitchen. Please let me know if that’s possible thanks! 🙏🏻

Great size strainer, works as designed. I’ve used it a couple times. The one thing I did notice is the metal is a little more flimsy than my other smaller strainer that I have as I can push in on this metal and it gives but as far as straining pasta or other foods I don’t see that impacting anything. Hopefully no issues down the line but so far so good.

I have used this countertop wonder at least daily if not multiple times a day ever since it arrived and I took it out of the box! The only selection I haven't used yet is rotisserie as I don't have anything to use on it YET but I will once I can safely go to the grocery store again (Covid19 keeping me home). The air fryer selection is fantastic giving delicious crisp results with no oil! I roasted a half turkey breast yesterday with wonderful and delicious results that will provide me with 5 more meals as I made my own "TV dinners" with all the leftovers and froze for future yummy meals! I purchased this as I'm a widow and only cook for me and it seemed such a waste to heat up my huge stove oven for just a few things for me and I thought this with it's smaller size would be a better more economical way for me since I love to cook. I don't regret giving up some counter space to devote to the oven as not only do I not have to use as high a temp setting, it's done in a much quicker time than what I would have had to set the stove oven for! The reheat selection rewarms perfectly - not like the microwave does with drying out some things while other items are still cold!

Love this bowl. Easy to use. Less of a mess. Clean up is easy! This bowl may look small in the picture, it us not! Perfect size. Just make sure to pay attention to dimensions when you purchase. I chose the smaller of the two and am very happy with it..

Love these strainers. I use them so often, can't believe I lived life with out them. I can cook chicken, strain & the use both with spices for rice & lent Les & viola, FREE MEAL ready to freeze. NO MORE WASTE EVER AGAIN. If drawer space is an issue, use a hook or nail & nest them to a wall on display.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace a salad spinner at the end of its use. Size was also a consideration and this one is reasonably compact although it will easily hold enough for 4 or more people. The outer bowl quality is something I looked for as the pivot point at the bottom of my old one did not survive very long making spinning more difficult. The thicknesses of this outer bowl is substantially thicker than many I evaluated so I think the pivot point will last. In any event, the warranty is excellent and played into the decision to purchase. The inner basket has narrow slots which allows the water out but not smaller salad pieces. I like the 2 individual locks on top. The spinner handle works easily, generating enough rpm’s to dry washed salad greens in less than a minute. There’s a brake button on top, a function which is basically useless in a salad spinner. I have used this most days over the several months I’ve had it and I like it. I would buy this again. Recommended!

This colander is easy to use. The two handles make it easy to hold and carry. It has feet and rest in the sink or a pot while using it so Im less likely to burn myself. I also like that its dishwasher safe. This is a good quality strainer. I would buy it again.

I bought this product a few weeks ago and I love it. This Colander is perfect for small, medium or large amounts of food. I eat fresh vegetables everyday and I love washing my veggies in the Colander. It is beautiful and you can feel and see the Quality, which is very important to me. Purchase this item if you need a colander that is going to last forever. The 5 Quart is just perfect!

I've had my eye on the All-Clad 3-quart stainless steel colander for quite a while. I already had the larger 5 quart colander, but it was a bit too large for everyday use. I wanted the smaller one to replace an aging bright red enameled steel colander (imported from Poland) that has been bouncing around my kitchen for decades and has the chips and rust to prove it! The new All-Clad 3-quart colander is the perfect replacement. It is the same general size & diameter as my old red colander, and the stainless steel is so shiny. The new smaller colander fits perfectly in my kitchen sink, and its draining holes are just fine. I'm happy with this new friend and I hope the colander will enjoy its new home in my kitchen.
