Over-The-Sink Colander

Rinsing berries or draining hot potatoes usually means balancing a bowl right in the bottom of the sink basin. This expandable strainer rests securely on the rim instead. We keep it in the catalog because it slides open to match wide basins and tucks into a kitchen drawer when the dishes are done.

Across the basin

The sturdy side handles pull outward to span across kitchen sinks, keeping drained vegetables and freshly boiled noodles up above whatever water might sit in the bottom of the basin.

Draining and drying

Evenly spaced drainage holes across the floor let rinse water flow through quickly while holding small food inside. Set washed forks, paring knives and small cups here to dry on their own.

Sturdy plastic body

Molded from smooth, lightweight plastic that rinses clean under the tap. The sides hold their shape when loaded with heavy scrubbed root vegetables or a big pot of cooked macaroni.

Compact kitchen storage

Push the sides inward and the basket shrinks down to fit neatly inside a standard kitchen drawer or upright between cutting boards in the lower cabinet.
